Pink and Gold Wedding . . . Inspiration Board

It's been a while since I've created an inspiration board, so I thought I'd share a mini one with you today that features something totally new. A coordinating color palette with the corresponding CMYK values in case you choose to use these colors for your event. This particular board all started when I fell in love with the pink and gold dress I saw on pinterest. {PS: you can follow my pinterest boards here}

A Glittery Pink and Gold Wedding / Bridal Shower Inspiration Board

Last week I featured a pink and grey inspiration board and today I've gone completely festive with pink and gold ideas that can work for either a wedding or a bridal shower. And, of course no event with gold is complete without gold confetti, right? :) What element do you love most about this sparkly affair? And, speaking of inspiration boards, I'm loving March as I have guite a few of them planned to share with you. It's been too long since I've created these boards for you. But, I do plan to change that! And, on Friday I have another one that I think you will love - and it's with one of my favorite colors :)

Pomegranate Weddings

In addition to November being National Pomegranate Month, pomegranates have history and tradition with weddings. The following facts and legends are from aznar.az:
• Ancient Greeks believed that the first pomegranate tree was cultivated on the Island of Cyprus by the Goddess of love - Aphrodite. Since then pomegranate juice has got reputation of "a love potion". Following the tradition modern Greeks break a pomegranate fruit during wedding ceremonies as a fertility symbol.
• According to the Koran, pomegranate trees among others grow in a perfect paradise garden. Many people consider flowers and pomegranate fruits as a symbol of wealth, abundance and fertility.
• In China they eat sweet pomegranate seeds on the day of wedding, thereby blessing a newly-married couple. A picture of a ripe pomegranate is a popular wedding gift.
