Board #466: Have your cake...
...and eat it, too! Wayne Thiebaud's painting of cake inspired today's wedding board - I love his paintings of cake. I pulled the barely-there blue out of the plates in that painting and made that a key element in this palette. I also couldn't ignore that sweet little strawberry on top of the cake, so I suppose if this wedding had a motif it would be strawberries. And ruffles.
Mood: flirty, sweet, fun
Palette: strawberry red, buttercream white, faded blue

Row 2: handkerchief and orchid nosegay photo by Lisa Lefkowitz, silk flower ring pillow from Martha Stewart Weddings
Row 3: RSVP card by Design des Troy, peony centerpiece from Brides, lemonade from Rebecca Thuss, basket of strawberries from Martha Stewart Weddings
PS - Totally unrelated to this post, but for anyone planning on going to WPPI this year, you have to check out the Airhorns and Lasers party. There will be some great hosts and sponsors (including The Flash Dance, Max Wanger, and a bunch of other fabulous folks), and I would so be there if I could.

I adore this board! I think that paintings make perfect springboards for all kinds of inspiration, and I love that you chose this one!
i love that blue.
I am in love with this one. It reminds me of spring.
Oh my gosh, I want that dress! I usually don't comment, but I really love this board.
The fabric flowers on the dress are awesome! Love the frilly flowers in the bouquet and how they match the dress!
Love the fabric flowers on the dress! The frilly wedding bouquet matches the dress perfectly! Fun inspiration board!
I love how sweet and feminine this wedding is but I just want to point out that if you were using non-local color you would be referring to the shadows cast by the cake or the shading used to make objects appear 3D. The color of the plates and the red of strawberries is considered local color.
nice. i like the barely there blue
The Dress looks a bit hip and modern and The cake looks uber delicious.
Oh my, I absolutely adore this board. Theses just get better and better!
kathryn, this has to be one of my favorites yet. the dress + the flowers is so dreamy!!!
I am in love with that dress! It goes so well with the theme of the board too! I've heard of brides focusing on a consistent texture throughout their wedding, and this ruffly floral would be a great one!
this is so pretty!
Love the Wayne Thibaud slice! His paintings would make for such lovely wedding inspiration, especially at the dessert bar.
We love this post! Truly inspiring.
