Beach Wedding Inspiration Wednesdays

Danielle — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:00:09 +0000

Inspiration Wednesdays are back! I know you’re psyched so let’s have a hip, hip, hooray!!!

OK, down to business…when I’m designing I use a ton of different resources for inspiration. From simply looking out the window, to a bajillion sites on the internet, to art books and more. Today’s board came from one of my favorite inspiration sites, The Perfect Palette. If you haven’t yet visited that website and you’re looking for ideas to use for your wedding color palette, HEAD THERE NOW!!!

Let us know your color palette and we’ll post a board in your honor!! Have a great day!

Beach wedding inspiration and ideas

Danielle — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:00:10 +0000

You are in the luxury of your air conditioned ocean front condominium getting ready for your wedding. You are running a few minutes late and your guests are keen with excitement and anticipation of the big moment. They are also sweating in the hot sun that is strategically placed right at eye level when they are seated.

It’s always extra special nice to have cold bottled water for your guests (or a nice fruity drink for that matter) but one nifty idea I heard the other day is serving frozen grapes. Refreshing, different and bite size. You can serve bunches of grapes in kraft paper bags or small crystal bowls (or any other container that you choose!) so it actually goes with the style of your wedding.

Think about it!

**By no means am I taking credit for this idea. It was one I heard and thought it was cool so I’m passing it along!!

Cayman Islands Inspired Story Board :: Starfish

Danielle — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 16:00:50 +0000

Did you know you can find starfish in the Cayman Islands??? There is a place called Starfish point where you can find orange starfish on most days. Absolutely gorgeous animals these starfish are and today, they have inspired my board. You will obviously see I didn’t go with the Cayman orange starfish, but but the white starfish people tend to use more for weddings.

What inspires you?? We would love to know!

Cayman Islands Inspired Story Board :: Yellow Hibiscus

Danielle — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 18:00:03 +0000

Hibiscus comes in many different colors, but today I was walking down the road and saw a yellow hibiscus bush. I love how it just pops out of the greenery and at night, it closes up, just like when we shut our eyes to sleep. The yellow hibiscus, I understand, is actually the Hawaii state flower, but we have them too, so here you go!

Cayman Islands Inspired Story Board :: Strawberries

Danielle — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 18:00:02 +0000

I love strawberries. I love when they come into season, like a little surprise treat each year. I can eat them by the pint and never tire of them. I’m sad that berry season is coming to an end and have been stocking up on strawberries and blueberries like it’s my job. Today’s board is all about the strawberries!! Enjoy!

Cayman Islands Inpsired Story Board :: Aqua and Red

Danielle — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:00:03 +0000

Aside from being the best color combo of all time (I mean after all, my wedding was designed in this color scheme!), aqua is of course the inspiration for all things Cayman Islands. Red just looks really good with it.

Crystal Blue Story Board :: Bashful and Blush

Danielle — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:00:34 +0000

In the Cayman Islands we don’t have spring…we have winter which consists of frigid temperatures of about 70 degrees and summer where the humidity does wonders for cleansing the toxins out of your pores (i.e. sweating A LOT). I do love spring, though and when I saw this board created by Tina of Studio Two Sixteen, I asked her if I could share it with all of you!

Can anyone tell me what movie the colors bashful and blush are from??
