Inspiration board - Purple and Yellow

For this inspiration board, I chose to play with purple and yellow. I noticed that I've only made a handful boards that had purple in it. And yellow seems to offer a nice contrast to it. The combination looks great for any kind of wedding, probably something on the classic side but with a little twist to it. Check it out and hope it gets you inspired:

Inspiration board - Moroccan

I think one of the most stunning wedding themes is going Moroccan. It's often characterized by rich colors like shades of red, purple, blues, and orange, and often is a combination of those hues. Patterns are intricate yet festive, with inspirations from Arabic and Asian cultures. I would say having a Moroccan wedding theme is all about the details, from the decor to the invitations to favors.

While going for a Moroccan theme for your wedding would entail coordinating the details, it's not that hard. To start off, you could browse for pictures of Morocco and try recreating the look with what's available in the market. I've made an inspiration board for a Moroccan wedding theme, and I hope this will help get you started:

Inspiration Board - Purple

My sister and her boyfriend are thinking of settling down. This I knew from the guy. They first thought of getting married this year, but with the recent turn of events, the preparations seemed to take so long. My guess is they're getting hitched next year (hopefully, they've been together for 10 years now).

She loves the color purple, and for her wedding she's thinking of mixing it with green or wine (my mom doesn't approve of purple, though -- it reminds her of Lent). So I came up with this inspiration board that has purple as the main color and green as accent. Enjoy!
