Classic elegance in shades of blue

Planning a wedding is a creative process. There are millions of different ways to decorate a hall, thousands of different choices in flower arrangements, and endless bridesmaid dresses to choose from. Most couples have an idea of what they want for their special day, but organizing all of those ideas and thoughts can be difficult at times.

The best way to nourish your creativity is to utilize it! Inspiration boards are a way to put your thoughts into color and onto paper. Once you decide on a basic color scheme and/or theme for your wedding, you can make an inspiration board to illustrate your feeling and ideas on a small scale before you spend time and money to create them for real. Tear up a few bridal magazines, or find pictures online to find a look that is perfect for you! Here is an example from Oahu Wedding:

We created this inspiration board for Diana and Mark's wedding here in Honolulu. She wanted an elegant and classic feeling on a soft, blue palette. Hawaii's natural setting compliments Diana's wishes quite nicely!
