Inspiration Board: Preppy in Pink with Salmon Rose, Contessa, and Rose Dust
The Inspiration
Who knew I was so inspired by shoes? This color palate and inspiration board was inspired by a pair of gorgeous Badgley Mishka heels that I first saw in the new Winter issue of Instyle Weddings. Of course I immediately ordered a pair (which I plan on wearing to our engagement shoot!) and I’m eagerly awaiting their arrival. In the meantime, I thought I’d design a fabulously romantic pink design board in honor of all their beauty!
I didn’t have to look far for the perfect colors. The Pantone Spring color report, published a few months ago, has some amazing colors for 2009. Among them are these pretty pinks named Salmon Rose and Rose Dust. I added my own color of Contessa to round out our color palate.
I think our inspiration board has a preppy and whimiscal feel to it. I love the ruffles and fabric especially. I wish I could have found a wedding cake that incorporated ruffled fondant in shades of pink. Wouldn’t that have been so pretty? I really picture this wedding outside, overlooking the Connecticut countryside.

Gorgeous shoes! Have you seen this cake from MS Weddings – http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/garden-variety-fluffy-carnation-frills?autonomy_kw=carnation&rsc=header_2 – The carnations remind me of ruffles, and I think it pairs well with the centerpiece pic. Such a pretty inspiration board!
