Finding Inspiration at the Beach
Finding inspiration for your destination wedding can come from so many places. Of course here on
St Croix beach weddings are the craze, but I’m always so excited to see how my brides each interpret beach weddings differently and are inspired by different elements of nature for their color scheme and decor.
Here are 5 Tips to get you started:
- Start with images of the beach, sunset or other tropical landscape that inspire you. Collect them all on a Pinterest Board.
{Pinterest is the COOLEST free tool to hit wedding planning EVER! If you’re not familiar, Start Here} - Take a look at the images that you’ve collected – look at the big picture. Are there a couple of colors that repeat? Do you see a theme? Are there elements like starfish or shells that jump out at you?
- Narrow down your color palette to a neutral base color (this doesn’t have to white – think navy, beige, taupe, etc) and a couple of accent colors.
{The Perfect Palette is a great source for exciting and unique color palettes. There’s a handy tool in the upper right – click on your main color and it will pull up a plethora of ideas.} - Figure out your style. Are you a modern bride who likes clean lines? Romantic? Whimsical?
- Use your color palette and design elements to create or choose your Save The Dates and Wedding Invitations. Remember these are the first impression that your guests will have of your wedding, let it make an impact by tying into your wedding theme!
