I probably should have posted this a long time ago, but it’s my blog so I can post it late! This was my final inspiration board for the wedding. A lot of the inspiration really came through in the end result, but I fall in love with the pink and gold color palette every time I look at this.

I just submitted this color board to Abby. I’m not expecting to win, but it was fun working on this.
dress by Carolina Herrera; place cards from theknot; flowers from Martha Stewart;
room from Domino magazine; cotton by Kelly Moore Photography
My inspiration photo is the cotton. My fabulous photographer, Kelly Moore Clark took the photo over a year ago and posted it on her blog and I’ve always loved it. The blue is so blue and it just looks Southern. I can’t wait to see the other color boards that Abby posts!

On June 5, my 31 year old cousin, John, died in a motorcycle accident. John loved life and truly lived it to the fullest. He never met a stranger and he had an amazing way of making everyone feel great about themselves and like they were the only person in the room. He flew helicopters, was a volunteer firefighter, and loved his family and friends more than anything.
When we went to the funeral in Louisiana, we met his little Brussels Griffon, Fiona. John bought Fiona to breed her and she actually had six puppies who have all recently found great homes. But Fiona is an orphan. Her grandparents and uncles can’t keep her, so Todd and I are taking Fiona into our home. Boudreaux gets a sister!
Some of you may recall that a Brussels Griffon played the role of Verdel in “As Good as it Gets.” Brussels Griffons are known for their human-like, expressive faces. We’re picking her up tomorrow and we’ll bring her back to meet Boudreaux. I’m happy to welcome her to our family.

These were taken before, after, and during the ceremony. I’m so excited because all of my high res digital images will be in my hands this week and I can share all of the details with everyone!
