I’ve been wanting to play this inspiration board out for a little while. I dabble in colour but am always led back to neutrals. This combination of black and creamy white with the neutral taupe inspires thoughts of vintage style elegant celebrations. I found the room setting in the top right, from a blog I love (please tell me who it was, I’ve lost it!) and the board evolved.

I feel the same way… always drawn back to neutrals; and this is my favorite “color” palette. Beautiful!

This palette makes me wish I could get married all over again! So classically chic and romantic at the same time! Brilliant!

Poor Mr Polka is wondering why he got only one comment on his Zoom Zoom Zoom post and now I know why- you were all hanging out for girly inspiration boards!

Im not a pastels girl and my first idea for our theme was Parisian black and white stripes, but adding the taupe gives softness to the contrast. Love it and really love the braidmaids dress. Thank you!
