I can't find inspiration boards anywhere of the colors I want for the theme...and it's not like they're out there colors! Burgundy, gold, and ivory/light champagne...nothing.
Is this such an odd combination? I didn't think it was! I just wasted money on magazines, have spent hours on end looking on the inspiration board blogs...and it's never the right colors. Either bright red, just one color or another, nothing together.
I'm dangerously close to just giving up and hoping I can translate what's in my head to a florist, etc.

Ali, as you may or may not know, Donna's color was burgundy, but it's actually a wine color. I have been very disappointed with trying to find things with this color, and burgundy earlier!!! When looking at floral books, there were only a few pics!!! Recently, I was trying to find wine colored velvet drawstring bags for favors I plan to use at Donna's Shower. So far, I've seen other colors but not wine colored. Mary MOB

Did you try Elizabeth Ann Design .com ? She has great inspiration. Also Snippet and INk.com if you email the people of these blogs they will post an inspiration for you with the color you like.

Actually these are FHs cousins colors as well and I made her an inspiration board. I'll send it to you on tuesday b.c its on my work comp... just please remind me!
Honestly, I really don't think you need an 'inspiration board' for your florist!
Its a fairly new concept, I don't think any of the 07ers had them during their planning, I know I didn't!
All you really need is some pictures of things YOU are actually using, like your BM dresses, etc.
Also, some pictures of flowers you like ... but when we first met with our florist we didn't even have that. They showed us pictures of centerpieces they had done and we talked from there ...

Re: Inspiration Frustration!
Collect the images yourself and make one. I couldn't find my colors together either. I used inspiration boards I found and cropped out the pictures I liked to make mine.
Let me know if you need some help! If you show me the shades and colors you are looking for, I can put one together for you.

Re: Inspiration Frustration!
Thanks for the input girls!
That cake is sick...too bad it definitely won't be included in my choice of 4 haha.
Barbie, I may have to take you up on that offer...
I have a lot of pictures on my own, I just can't be bothered with splicing them together. If worse comes to worse, I'll do it the old fashioned way and paste printouts on a board.
I just felt like I was a freak or something for wanting these colors.

Its really easy. Do you have Paint or Powerpoint on your computer? I just randomly posted all the pics in Powerpoint.
