Three Elements {Cal-a-Vie}

Since I didn't post an entry for Wedding Wednesday yesterday, I thought I'd post a Three Elements today.

A few days ago, Joni posted about Cal-a-Vie, a spa in southern California. Looking through the photos, I was struck by how lovely the Chapel was, and I immediately wanted to incorporate it into an inspiration board.

The first inspiration board is lush with shades of yellow, orange, and green and features lemons (and some oranges) in the decor. As I said before, I love fruit incorporated into a wedding!

The second board is more muted than the first and features natural linen accented by chocolate brown and lavender. While I can't say that lavender is my most favorite color, when I saw the agapanthus in the photo of the entry to Cal-a-Vie, I knew that it would be a perfect shade for one board.

The three elements incorporated this week are:

Your boards always make me want to go to parties.

Those yellow shoes in the first one are calling my name!

The first example is my all time favorite inspiration board yet! It's beauty just takes my breathe away.

Wow- gorgeous boards! I love how you've taken the same three elements as starting points and shown how they can be incorporated into two completely different yet equally spectacular events! Makes me want to plan my wedding all over again. But I'm happy to get my wedding fix from you!

Lenorenevermore- I agree, it is nice to have mood and inspiration boards.

Kimberlee- Thank you.

Joni- How great and wild that your mom attended a party there this summer!

Stephanie- I always want to go to parties after I make a board too :)

Treacy- I was really happy with the way the first board turned out too. Thanks for such kind words.

Anne- I've always felt I could have had at least five different weddings because there are so many styles I love! I think these boards are my fix too :)
