To help ring in the new year right, I think a little reflection is always key. 2008 was a big year with lots of excitement, lots of change, lots of creativity, and for me, lots of blog posts! Each day this week I’ll be bringing back some of Junebug’s favorite blog posts from the past year to give us a reminder of where we’ve been, so we can move forward with glee… beginning with my […]
Wedding Ideas: Wedding Inspiration Boards
Cream and White Winter Wedding Color Palette
With winter well under way in most of the country, I’m having visions of a winter wedding with a creamy white color palette, full of fabric texture, candle light, white on white patterns and delicate antique touches like vintage milk glass plates and serving dishes and pearl and cameo jewelry. A creamy dream! Top row:Wedding gown by Oscar de la Renta, image from Brides.com1940’a gold cameo earrings, 1940’s gold cameo ring and 1940’s double strand […]
Real Weddings- Lisa and Brent
Today’s Real Wedding of Lisa and Brent comes to us from the lovely ladies of One Thousand Words Photography. It was an intimate, personal and playful event that took place in the spectacularly rustic yet urban-chic venue, Sodo Park by Herban Feast. Lisa and Brent took time before their ceremony to see each other and take pictures, and the results are undeniable. Their photos are full of fun, and having that private time together early […]
Reader Inspiration Board- a Vintage Wedding in a Modern Loft Space
Last week I received an e-mail from Carmel, a bride in New Zealand planning a wedding with a theme I just couldn’t resist. She’s combining her love of vintage fashion with the clean, minimal lines of a New York loft style gallery space. Be still my beating heart! She asked for a little help finding ideas and putting together an inspiration board, and I was more than happy to comply… Top row: Carmel’s dress is […]
Grey, Silver and Berry Wedding Color Palette and Inspiration Board
After writing about my recent obsession with the color grey, I heard from Junebug reader Rachel who is planning a huge (800 person!) October wedding with a gorgeous grey color palette, and she asked for a little help putting together an inspiration board. Rachel filled me in on some of her wedding day details including her dress, shoes, cake topper, wedding party fashions and theme of “Modern Nature”, and I had a ball filling in […]
Happily Obsessed with Grey Wedding Decor and Accessories
In a few weeks I’ll be taking the trip of a lifetime, to Zambia and Botswana, and I’m so excited I could burst! I know it’s going to be so life changing and spectacularly different than my world here in Seattle that I can’t possibly imagine it ahead of time, so instead I’m thinking about, what else, the fashion! I’ve been joking around with my friends about shopping for my “safari style,” but much to […]

Black, White and Green Wedding Color Palettes for Spring
Last week we received a comment from Vanessa, a bride in search of a little help with her spring wedding color palette… “I am getting married in April of 09 and I am having a huge problem picking my wedding colors.
