I just adore this Deep Colored Inspiration Board... It brings such a warm and romantic feel to any wedding design! Incorporating deep bold colors with chic lighting adds quite an affect; especially when it comes to making an impact on Wedding Photos. Incorporating a subtle pattern in the same color scheme helps make the wedding flow from invitations, to programs, in the wedding party's attire (for grooms and groomsmen in ties and such), to the day of ceremony and reception decor. All I can say is "Wow, I am INSPIRED"!!!

There are so many unique ways to create fabulous flower decor on a budget for your dream wedding and allow you to make it more "your own". Take a look at these DIY arrangements, all made with fresh carnation flowers (carnations are on the very low end of the price scale when it comes to flowers, but the way these arrangements were done sure make it very tough to tell the cost as they give a more glamorous and modern vibe):

Here are some vaces that would work really great in achieving unique looks:

I just love these Anemone Flowers as they add a sweet touch to any wedding design. Sticking with a set flower to design your wedding theme will create a beautiful pallette to work around. See the inspiration below to see how you can use a specific flower in aspects such as Invitations, Menu's, Floral Accessories, Centerpieces, and you could even match a specific flower to a table cloth pattern or wedding gown with floral details.
