I know that nothing can really replace the elegance and the sophistcation of the color black, but I have had more requests for purple inspired events than any other color for 2009. Below are two brand new baords, inspired by two of our very own readers. I hope you enjoy them!

Well, 2009 is right around the corner and to celebrate, we created an entire year of inspiration boards for your big day. Take a look at all of the months and let us know what you think! Did we miss a color or theme that you’d like to see? Let us know! Your’s may be chosen as one of our future inspiration boards.

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

Friends, family & holiday cheer mix together to make the perfect wedding backdrop. December hosts many holidays, why not add one more into the mix? Your perfect wedding day!

To me, one of life’s many simple pleasures is a good cup of coffee. This color board comes straight from the mug! Coffee and cream inspiration.

I love bright colors! They bring a really fun and funky style to any event and August is the perfect month for such a color scheme.

Turquoise is the perfect summer color and when paired with a bright and vibrant red, it makes a great color scheme for July.

I know I have said it for every month, but June is a fabulous time for a wedding. The beginning of Summer, the green grass and leaves on the trees. Full days of sunshine, warm weather (but not too hot!) and the relaxing feeling that only this time of year can bring. My picks for the perfect June colors? Purple and green. Two of my favorite colors!

I finally updated our “Preferred Vendor” page on the website today and thought it would be great to share with our readers. So head on over to our website to check it out!

May is my favorite month of the year! My birthday, three of my friends’ birthdays, my sister’s birthday and the real beginning of Spring all take place in this fabulous month. The colors I picked for this inspiration board are fresh and remind me of the green grass, the blue skies and the anticipation of beach days.
