This was going to be about Linens...

...But, it's now about how to find more inspiration. This is now called "Bonded:  Highlight on the Exceptional Photography of Corrie Bond."

Maybe it's because I'm feeling so funky today; like I'm in sweats, no makeup, and almost severed my index finger last night on a dirty can of beans (yeah, it's bad..and looks incredibly terrible too).  I can simply go to THIS fabulous site to completely change my mood and find inspiration for what I want to feel like on many different occasions.

There are so many wedding based blogs and websites that delve out info and have "search" bars pertaining to any keywords you can imagine; mostly packaged up in a nice little inspiration board for you to draw from.  Which is fantastic most of time, but sometimes you need a little more grit.  What's better than an original idea popping into your head after walking the streets, of say, right here in Providence, an artists' mecca.

Most inspiration I have for weddings and events come from how I'm feeling at the time.  And I scour editorial and lifestyle photographer's websites to "bring to life" those images in my head.  The one I almost ALWAYS go to is Corrie Bond.  Even that name makes my stomach flutter.

This is how I feel most of the time.  And of course, it's purple, which is my signature color (and white).  

What is she capturing here?  Whimsy, Relaxed sophistication, Eclectic style, hints of Fun personality.  This is everything that I can see in a Wedding.

What about when you're feeling softer, yet rustic...like a white dress and cowboy boots?

Bond's portfolio will bring you to whatever you imagine for you event

  What I'm saying is don't limit yourself to wedding sites exclusively.  Whether you're working with a Planner, or by yourself, opening yourself up to other sources of inspiration with everyday life and art will provide you an obscene amount of information and ideas.  Find your feeling and your signature style...it's out there.  I'm going to close this out with my inspiration for what I will look like on my honeymoon in Monaco.

So, go on...venture out!  Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone to broaden your horizons.  OH!  And look out for the can of beans.  ouch.
