Inspiration Boards??

I love inspiration boards but WHY am I so bad at them!?!? I feel like I have a pretty good sense of style, color, light, blah blah blah... but I totally can't get one together.

So here are some fabulous inspiration boards that have got me wishing I could figure it out:

At this point I am less than six months away from the big day and I am moving to Amsterdam in 5 weeks. I think an inspiration board would go a long way in helping me solidify my vision, and be a good thing to share with my wedding planner and bridesmaids who are trying to help me plan. Despite my best efforts I still haven't been able to put something together that really embodies my vision.

Have you made an inspiration board? Did you find it helpful? What program did you use to make it??

Pink, Pink, or Pink??

I love pink. As a result, I am having the hard time deciding what types of pink I want at a wedding. Here are some color palettes from With This Ring that I found particularly inspiring:
I personally love dusty pinks, gold and white. I love the vintage romance of this color palette, but I can't help but wonder if that would be inappropriate for a daytime beach wedding. Perhaps I should do something more tropical?

The thing I love about these colors is that they seem to be a balance of tropical and vintage romance. I like the light ink with the dusty rose in combination with the yellows and greens. It would also go beautifully with a sunny beach in the background.

The preppy Texas girl in me can't help but LOVE the pink and green combo. I also think that it may a perfect choice for a tropical wedding. It would certainly be easy to find green accents in Costa Rica.

Last but certainly not least, the more pink the better perspective. This color combo seems to be a perfect combination of my love for pink and the preppy. Hmmm... So many choices and only one wedding.
