Far from having a quiet couple of weeks off over Christmas, it's been crazy busy since work clocked off on the 23rd with a spate of... you guessed it... weddings! Three big family & friend weddings over 4 days, and having been roped into help with the styling and decor for them, there's one thing I've really come to appreciate - the wedding inspiration board.
We've been making inspiration boards since day one on One Fab Day (don't look - the first ones are awful!) and always recommend every couple create one to help all the suppliers and helpers understand the look and feel they would like for their day. Without a colour palette and board, things get a little muddled and you can end up overwhelmed by choices and confused as hell. So to inspire you to get one started on one of your own (pinterest is your pal for this), we've picked out some of the most popular wedding colour palettes from the last few months. You'll see they're all wildly different but each one would easily explain what you were looking to create.
