Inspiration Board Inspiration

I designed an inspiration board for a contest over at Style Me Pretty featuring a Little Black Dress for bridesmaids. Below is my expanded version (original entry found here). I do not have bridesmaids for our wedding, but if I did I would definitely choose a LBD or something that could be worn for other occasions (i.e. NOT Halloween). I had a friend do this and they looked fabulous. Check out all of the entries at Style me Pretty because there are some great inspirations. Especially my favorite "Fiesta-Chic" board.

In making this board I took the black from the LBD and paired with my favorite color turquoise. The New Mexico/Mexican inspiration went from there. While this board does not capture the full range color for our wedding it could be our wedding in an alternative life.
