I had to share this great style inspiration board that Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book employee made!

Friday's Finds: Coordinating Bridesmaid Dresses via TheELD.com

Style Board found {here}

These dresses are all from JCrew, and the thing I love the most is the combination of the prints with solids. A combination like this makes for an incredibly modern and chic look for bridesmaids! I love the different fabrics together too. It’s something that I’ve always thought would be a great idea, but I wasn’t sure how it would look together! It looks amazing!

It seems that bridesmaid dresses are becoming more and more stylish now. How great is it to have a bridesmaid dress that you can REALLY wear again?!

Is anyone using a combination of prints and solids for their bridesmaids’ dresses?

When people attend a wedding, there are usually certain things that they expect to see. One of these things is of course the cake!

Wedding cakes often become the focal point of the whole reception. The design of the cake usually coincides with the theme of the wedding, so they are commonly integrated into the design and decor of the event.

Here are some gorgeous cakes of different styles for you to enjoy…too bad we can’t REALLY enjoy them!

For today’s photography feature, I wanted to share some beautiful photos taken by Our Labor of Love. Our Labor of Love, aka OLOL, is a husband and wife photography team based out of Atlanta.

You’ll see why I love OLOL so much. They capture the love and emotion of couples in a truly beautiful way.

Aren’t they all so beautiful? It’s like a breath of fresh air to see so much love captured in a photograph! Well done OLOL, well done!
Our Labor of Love also does Smilebooths at some of their weddings. If you haven’t seen one of these before, take a look! They’re becoming so popular to have at weddings, and are so much fun! Be on the lookout for a post about photo booths at weddings soon!

Navy is such a classic color to use in a color palette. It can be paired with just about any other color and be incredibly elegant.

While making this inspiration board, I was feeling inspired by the coming fall season and the jewel tones that are popular for the cooler months. The combination of navy and lilac is accented beautifully by white, and the three together would make for an extremely chic and elegant event!

Inspiration Board: Navy and Lilac via TheELD.com
Row 1: Bouquet, Reception decor, Navy suit
Row 2: Cake, Bridesmaid with bouquet, Bouquet
Row 3: Shoes, Coasters, Centerpiece, Escort cards
Row 4: Centerpiece, Reception decor

I love the way navy can create an elegant event when combined with just about any color! One of my favorite combinations is navy and yellow, so there will most certainly be an inspiration board for that coming soon!

So, readers, what other colors do you like with navy? Please share them with me! I would love to know your opinions!
