Board #441: Keep It Simple
It's been a month since I posted any inspiration boards, but they're back! Lately I've found myself drawn to the idea of simpler, smaller weddings - think city hall ceremony followed by a dinner party reception at your favorite restaurant - so that's what we have here today. But simple doesn't have to mean sacrificing style - there are so many ways to add whimsy and personality to simple wedding plans without going crazy or over-the-top. Posters are an unexpected way to invite your guests to celebrate with you, and quirky hand-lettered envelopes add to their uniqueness. Pale pink candles make for chic centerpieces, especially when displayed in modern glass candlesticks that you can gift to your guests when they head home. And instead of traditional wedding cake, see if your reception venue/caterers will work with you to hand out small servings of cotton candy.

Perfect!
Today, if I was getting married again, this is the wedding I'd have.
I like the idea of monochromatic with a hint of color. Pink is not my thing, but the thing I like about this is that it could be adapted to any focal color.
This is sweet, I love the black and white with a hint of pale pink.
mmm, i LOVE that idea. that's what i was thinking when given the thought that i could do it over. nice and simple w/o compromising style.
I have missed the inspiration boards! This one is totally beautiful - what a gorgeous palette! One of my fave things about your boards is that they can be used to inspire anything - not just weddings! This would be a great color scheme for our third bedroom, too! Love!
Yay! Inspiration boards! This one is awesome as usual.
Woo-hoo! Yay! I'm so glad the boards are back! =) And I really love that you've included the Cliff House because I find that location so interesting. xoxo
Simply Lovely.
So glad to have you back! Lovely as usual:)
I feel like I don't see this often enough, monochromatic schemes that make the contrast color really pop, even if it is as soft as a pale rose color. So classy, I love it.
simplicity seems to be the very best decision....always. smiles.
Mmm. Yes. Exactly. The honeymoon was the best part, and this feels like the start of a honeymoon.
Really beautiful! I love the wine bottles as the table numbers.
I'm so glad inspiration boards are back! This one is lovely!
I love all of your inspiration boards, but this one has to e one of my favs. So simple..so beautiful. I feel like weddings need to go back to this style! Thanks!
loving this take on a pink/black and gray wedding.
I'm so happy these are back!
Oh be still my heart - there is nothing I love more than a black and white, tuxedo inspired wedding theme. And with hints of pink?? Does it get any more classic and romantic? I think not!
I love it!

Simply gorgeous... the pink candlesticks have such a quiet, unfussy elegance. And the cotton candy adds whimsy!
I love the understated elegance of this board. So pretty.
