Rustic French Countryside

Posted on January 12th, 2009 by Margaret. Filed under Color Palettes.


It turns out that my lovely friend Kristen, who I am planning a bridal shower for, is more of a rustic french countryside kinda gal than a modern preppy pink. I love making inspiration boards so I went back for round two. This one was pretty easy because last week’s real wedding and this week’s real wedding both had a lot if natural elements that go well with a rustic theme.

When putting together this second Parisian-inspired inspiration board, I imagined lots of natural colors like greens and browns. My friend loves purple, so I added some purple elements and also some red for a splash of color. The french macaroons, bread, and wine elements are in this board too, because I want to maintain the cultural element for the Parisian foodie feast! I must admit, planning a bridal shower is really fun!

This board is heavily influenced by the gorgeous work of Lisa Vorce at Oh How Charming, whose work I greatly admire. In fact if I could go back and have my wedding over again, the first thing I would do is hire Lisa Vorce to design and coordinate my wedding. The entire top and bottom rows of photos are from weddings that Lisa designed.

    Be careful - macaroons are highly addictive. I like the lavender sprigs too. I think they are a nice touch and so simple to do - and the scent is divine.
