Isn’t this color inspiration board, designed by The Inspired Bride, perfect for this time of year? The cheery yellow and soft green whisper “Spring.” These colors would be perfect not only for a wedding, but for a baby or wedding shower, too.

I am working with a client on selecting a color palette for her wedding and so far we are thinking shades of blues and greens. I am finding a little bit of inspiration from this color board.

Inspiration boards are a great way for brides to hone in on the style, color scheme, and overall vision of their wedding. By assembling images reflecting the tone and colors that are most appealing to them, they can begin to create a “master plan” for the design of their wedding.
Low-tech inspiration boards are easy to make by simply posting magazine clippings, fabric swatches, and other inspiration sources to a bulletin board or pasting them onto card stock. These low tech boards have the advantage of offering texture and true-to-life color, unlike their high-tech alternatives.
The portability of digital inspiration boards can’t be beat, however. Simplistic versions of digital boards are easy to make by dropping images into a Word document. More advanced boards can be created in design programs like Adobe InDesign or online at Dessy.
Dessy has a fantastic Pantone Wedding Tool that allows you to create an inspiration board staying true to the Pantone colors of your choosing.

If creating a board seems overwhelming, brides can jumpstart their design juices by perusing inspiration boards on sites such as Snippet & Ink or 100 Layer Cake that regularly feature fabulous inspiration boards.

Wedding blogs are a dime a dozen, but only a handful really stand out. My latest wedding blog infatuation is with 100 Layer Cake which I just recently added to the Rex & Regina Blogroll.
Their colorboards are fantastic — not too cluttered and the color swatches included in each board make it even easier to visualize the scheme. I love this recent one featuring jewel tones.
