Boards #39 and #40: Garden Parties

Whether your event takes place in a friend's garden or in the local botanical gardens, a garden wedding is one of the sweetest things I can imagine. What a great opportunity to play up an already beautiful setting. Here are two takes on the garden wedding.

Board #39: Pink and Green

How have I not done a pink and green board yet? It's such a classic color combination, especially for a wedding. Especially for a garden wedding!

Mood: preppy, classic
Palette: pink, green

Board #40: Blue and Yellow

I know this isn't quite the palette that Classic Bride is going for, but I did want to try and put together a beautiful garden wedding for her that incorporated blue and yellow...

Mood: fresh, lighthearted
Palette: hydrangea blue, daffodil yellow, white

That dress in the first board is from my inspiration board on Style Me Pretty! Do you even know who designed it?

Lauren - I have no idea who designed that dress (do you mean the green one, or the one with the pink sash? both came from inspiration boards and I don't know about either of them). If you know, do tell!

The 50's style with the pink sash is from Candy Anthony. I bloged about him at Royalicing.blogspot.com I have a link to his site.

Thank you!
These are the colors that I want to do my wedding in, but i've been having such a hard time finding anyone who has done it. any more suggestions? I'm afraid that one color will be too strong and it will look awkward.
