#463: Robin's Egg Blue

Well, it took me long enough, but here's today's inspiration board! Robin's egg blue for a sophisticate Spring wedding. Creamy white and outdoor garden green keep it fresh and sophisticated, as does using mostly white flowers for bouquets, with ribbons in blue. And for anyone who has the original issue of Martha Stewart Weddings that has the blue cake in it, you'll be able to see that the pale blue frosting is flecked with vanilla beans, making it look just like a robin's egg!

Mood: sophisticated spring garden
Palette: robin's egg blue, spring green, cream

I love that sassy little flower girl in the top right! reminds me of my own flower girl, who was REFUSED to walk down the aisle with a male attendant because "boys are weird".

I have never been much into blue before recently...but for some reason I'm all about it right now! And this is such a lovely use of a perfect Robin's Egg blue. Reminds me of a new invitation I just listed in my shop! Love it!
