Come On Baby Light My Fire - Inspiration Board #6

Undeniably, candles are symbolic of romance, which makes them the perfect wedding décor accessory. They can serve a number of purposes such as providing lighting and setting ambiance to a room, provide symbolic meaning during the ceremony or elegant décor at the reception. There are a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and of course types, such as: pillar candles, votive candles, tea lights, taper candles, floating candles, and of course the unity candle. Here are just a few ideas for incorporating candles into your special day.

· To symbolize bringing the two families together most commonly used is the unity candle
· Group pillar candles of varying heights for a great centerpiece idea
· Tea Lights can be used as part of a centerpiece idea or to add soft lighting on the cake table, or guest book table or anyplace where you desire just a flicker of light
· To honor loved ones who have passed on, candles can be used as a symbolic representation of those who you wish could be with you on your special day
· Candles can add a sense of drama when used to light the pathway as you make your way down the aisle
· As a favor idea, consider scented votives combined with a CD of your favorite love songs, with a decorative tag that reads “Music to Enjoy by Candle Light”
· Lighted votive holders could serve as a place card option when decorated with parchment paper with guests name and table number wrapped around the holder – to light the way to their seats

Of course there are so many more uses for candles, but these are just a few ideas to put a little fire under you to get your juices flowing!

Fall is my favorite season and October is my favorite month. I love the coolness of the breeze in the air and the beauty of the changing colors of the leaves.

So in honor of Fall and October, I hope you enjoy this inspiration board which showcases the beauty of Fall, and gives wonderful planning ideas for your fall nuptials. Although I can't take credit for creating this board, which I found on Bridalcanvas.com, I hope to be able to inspire your creative juices to flow as you begin to plan for your wedding.

Pink and Green...Suh-weet - Inspiration Board #3

Okay, for all the AKA's out there...here's one for you. Enjoy!

Everythings Coming Up Roses - Inspiration Board #2

Stating the obvious, this inspiration board was inspired by roses - the flower of love. In choosing a theme, the idea is to carry it throughout the components of your wedding. This board shows how using something as simple as roses can create a sense of harmony in your design element. Keep in mind that the idea of a theme is not to go for overkill, but to tell a story in an cohesive and unified manner.

Yellowicious - What A Bright Idea! - Inspiration Board #1

This will be the first of many inspiration boards to come. I felt inspired to share my appreciation for the color yellow, not only because it's one of my favorite colors (purple is the other), but because it is such a cheerful color. Although yellow occasionally shows up as an accent color at weddings, or color splash throughout a wedding, these days yellow is not widely used as a predominant color when brides are selecting their color schemes. This is sad because I think yellow is perfect for an outdoor wedding or for a spring time wedding. Yellow just makes you happy, and no better time to communicate to the world your state of happiness than on your wedding day, and no better color than yellow. Give it a try.
