:: Inspiration Board – (500) Days of Summer ::

Today’s board is inspired by my favorite film of 2009. I just adore Zooey Deschanel. Her quirky, retro, girly style really sets the mood throughout the film. (500) Days of Summer is not your typical love story, however, I find that to be the most refreshing part.

I thought the visuals throughout the film, such as the soft muted colors and Summer’s vintage inspired wardrobe would create unique look for a wedding. Here are some ideas:

1. Create your own photo collage to have displayed at your reception
2. Origami bird garlands
3. White paper lanterns and white lights strung over the dance floor
4. Soft blue dresses, either for the bridesmaids or for an unconventional bride
5. Simple black suits with skinny ties for the groomsman
6. Don’t forget the music! Perhaps some Hall & Oats and The Smiths

You could also use these elements to create a fun engagement photo shoot as well!
