Inspiration Images of the Day

I don't have much to write on this post, but I wanted to share these beautiful pictures. I always come across pictures on blogs of various things and I'll pull the picture and put it in my file but never share it. So today, when i came across one of these images I thought to myself that I should be sharing these with everyone instead of just filing them away. So from here on out when I come across inspiration pictures that embody the characteristics of the mood and vibe that i want to set for our wedding I'm going to post them to this blog...for all to enjoy :)

Tall Centerpieces

So we've established that we need tall centerpieces in our reception venue because of the height of the tent, but i'm having a hard time figuring out what those centerpieces should look like. I KNOW that i want it look very garden-like - loose arrangements, garden florals, very soft and romantic - but i'm having a hard time translating that look into a tall centerpiece. Most arrangements that i see that i like are low centerpieces that are in small urns or something.

I have found a few centerpieces that i like the shape and composition of...but you just have to ignore the colors in some of these pictures here...






What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Centerpiece Inspiration

I know that for the centerpieces i want something very garden-like...loose, lots of greenery and kinda "flowly" ...yeah, i know...that's not a word. But you get the idea? I want varying shades of deep purple (NO LAVENDER OR LILIAC PURPLES!!) mixed with whites, creams, blush and lots of greenery. I'm thinking leafy, vine like greenery intertwined and cascading. Although I like the short "just-gathered" centerpiece look, it would look best in our venue to have tall centerpieces. The reception is in a tent with VERY high ceilings and we'll need tall centerpieces to make that space seem not quite so empty and high.

Of course, as you all know, I'm quite picky on my shades of purple :) but i've managed to find a couple pictures where i like the color and the flowers. The shapes of these centerpieces would not work for me though - because of the whole height issue. Here's the inspiration pictures i found for our centerpieces:
