Inspiration Board: Vintage Southern Charm

I received the sweetest email from {ELD} reader Priscilla last week, asking if I could help her create an inspiration board for her Texas wedding. The colors being used are green and cream, and she’s going to pull in various vintage elements, such as a birdcage veil, milk glass, and antique frames. Priscilla said the wedding will be in Texas, and her father will most definitely be wearing his cowboy boots (which I love!). Using these tidbits of information, I created this inspiration board for Priscilla. She used the words “vintage with southern charm”, so of course that’s what I named it!

Row 1: Cupcakes, Birdcage centerpiece, Outdoor lounge, Milkglass centerpieces

Row 2: Lace doily table, Tablescape, Dessert Bar, Dress

Row 3: Bouquet, Centerpieces, Birdcage, Invitation

I love using white or cream as a main color for weddings. It keeps everything so clean and crisp, and you can find just about everything in white! Priscilla, I hope this helps you in putting together the vision for your wedding!

When Tab McCausland sent me this Trash The Dress session and she said that it ended up in a fountain, I immediately had to see! This is THE way to do a Trash The Dress session- gorgeous makeup, great hair, fabulous shoes, and an awesome photographer! Oh and this bride is gorgeous, and her tattoo- awesome!
