I'm constantly searching magazines, catalogs, and blogs for inspiration for my stationery. One of my favorite sources for unique color combinations is Snippet & Ink. The very talented Kathryn creates the most beautiful inspiration boards for brides-to-be (and those seeking eye-candy) Her blog is chalk full of the gorgeous boards as well as real-life weddings. First, a few of my favorites…
A Nantucket Island seaside wedding featuring Nantucket red, sky blue, clamshell grey, and white.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVpmI5eDrZpuzR7TfV3mvtW8i29SMG2gmaYcKjrz07H1iW16R6tBN9lCOrELkzQdlYVal7SZ22vWU344wifJELTvn2BGn-32fa-By2onPHOx9PY8vHjO9O-mK8zQh7b5vvc0X5zZcLBTE/s400/to+nantucket+island+red,+sky+blue,+gray,+white+via+s%2Bi.jpg)
The always classic tiffany blue and chocolate. So romantic.

Shell pink and glossy black is a little bit sexy.

Fresh. And summery.

Here’s where the inspiration comes in. Jadeite and lawn was the inspiration for the Think Spring Gift Set at pixelimpress.

Gardenias and coral inspires aqua butterflies in coral envelopes.
Kitschy Key West (my absolute favorite board!) inspires Key West personalized notecards.

And although this board was not actually the true inspiration for these calling cards, I’m sure the bride at this wedding wouldn’t mind having a set of these since they’re her color.

Just as I was going to press with this post, I scooted over to Snippet & Ink. Kathryn has done it again... look at this stunning board she just put up. Seaglass and orange velvet. Beautiful. I love it. And couldn't help but notice how well it goes with my new Ocean social stationery and calling cards in the shop.

What gorgeous work she does! See that bride at the top center of the Gardenias and coral board? I used her hair updo as an exemplar for my own!
Such lovely work she does over there at Snippet & Ink! Come check out my color palettes sometime!
These are so pretty it almost makes me want to do the bride thing all over again Pam! Oops, what am I thinking, twice already is twice too many!
