A few weeks ago on Style Me Pretty, Abby asked readers to submit inspiration boards designed to help a confused bride. The bride had booked a vineyard for her wedding and choose a raspberry and white color scheme. She wanted a shabby chic, vintage feel with DIY details, but wasn’t sure how to accomplish that. Below is what I came up with.

More Details:
My board is inspired by the vineyard location and the shabby chic theme the bride was looking for. I think the beautiful raspberry bouquet and the matching shoes is so elegant. I picture chandeliers hanging from the trees, and the tables would have different fabrics that pick up the raspberry colors with different vases, candles, etc in the center. I think variation in the tables, plus the chandeliers will help for that “shabby chic” look the bride wants.
For some fun details, I was thinking a photobooth. They are popular now, guests love them, and you will have some great photos. I also like the element of incorporating silhouettes of the bride and groom – whether it be hanging them on a string at the reception and/or using them on the invitations. For favors, these raspberry boxes add a touch of elegance and you can include something that is important to you as a couple – a favorite dessert, something from your hometown, or something special for the two of you.
