What is or was the inspiration for your wedding? Was it a picture you saw? Or maybe something you were dreaming of your whole life? Feel free to post pictures.
I will have pictures to share next week (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) But I was generally just inspired by pretty fall colors. And I did get inspired a ton from LIW posts -- there is SO much info on here! Also, the Martha Stewart wedding magazines that come out like 4x a year really had some pretty flower and decor ideas.
Well it was mostly the fact that we were having a summer wedding & RH was on the water - so we decided to go w/ a beach theme b/c of those 2 factors...LOVED IT!
i really always just wanted a wedding by the water...

My Grandmothers biggest wish was to see me get married. She was very sick most of her life and spent sooo much time in the hospital. She would always ask me what I wanted my wedding to be like... She asked me this before I was engaged all the time.
I'm lucky enough that my DH did get some time with her and she loved him! But she passed 3 months before I got engaged.
So the question that she always asked me was about the colors. She would say Bobby Pin (that was her nick name for me) what colors are you going to pick. And I would always say... Grandma the colors will be the color of your eyes.
She had the most beautiful blue/green tealish eyes I've ever seen. My answer always made her smile.
So I took that color and based my wedding off of that. Its seen in my invitations, the BM dresses, all the printing and the lighting.
Only my very close family knew the story though. People at my wedding did ask what I did especially for my Grandma and I just told them to look around.
barb you literally just brought tears to my eyes!

That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. It almost made me tear.

Aww that's so sweet, that just made me tear reading it.
I don't have a good story for mine. I just always pictured burgundy, ivory, and gold as my colors, and I always knew deep down we'd end up with a Winter wedding even though initially we were looking more for Fall.
