Inspiration Board Wednesday: Kentucky Derby

One of my lifelong goals is to make it to the Kentucky Derby.  Just once.  In honor of this weekends big race, I created this sweet board.  I really combined a subtle Gatsby vibe with this theme by incorporating the pretty vintage cloche hats and dainty boots and included some sweet southern detail, mint juleps infused with strawberries or peaches.  The show ribbons are by far my favorite thing about this board and I think they would make really unique seating cards for your guests  {there are so many tutorials out there for making your own}.  Lots of lush florals in peaches and pinks add a really luxe feel to this otherwise simple board.  And the icing on the cake would be to use vintage trophy cups to display your florals!

Inspiration Board Wednesday: Blossoms and Lace

Its been so long since I've done an inspiration board for you guys!  I lost my board mojo for a while but I'm easing my way back into it.

Love the idea of using pretty snippets of ivory lace with lush vintage styled blossoms.  I think the lack of any true color really gives this board a romantic ethereal feel, perfect for a romantic garden wedding!     I created this board in Etsy so if you are interested in any of the products, follow the link to the treasury!


Have a great Wednesday!

Pin It Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

So its April 23rd and they are predicting some light snow here in Kansas City today.  Really?  Did Mother Nature go on vacation or something?  Snow?  Ugh....My 6 year old has been begging to wear flip flops everyday for the past week.  Its such a sad argument to have in April.

Anyways, here are some of the pins that I am loving right now:

Pin It Tuesday

Just want to say, first off, our condolences to those affected by yesterday's tragedy in Boston.  I can not comprehend such senseless violence and can't even imagine what those involved are feeling.

On another note, Pin It Tuesday is going to be a new feature here on Creative Odds n' Ends in which I am going to share some of my favorite pins with you.  Maybe you will find some fun inspiration along the way!  I encourage you to share your favorite pins in the comment section too!

What are some of your favorite pins this week?  I'd love to see them!

Inspiration Board Wednesday: Pale Neutrals

I love the airy quality in this board.  Barely there color is such a pure way to introduce a mostly neutral palette of pale gray, light blush, fair purples and nude pinks.  To keep things light, use pretty pale plumes in a bouquet or even on some fancy footwear.  And how cute would the feathers be in a bout' for your special guy?  Lots of pale tulle layers in your gown would really be lovely (like the image in the upper left corner) and bridesmaid frocks in the palest of hues would tie the look together effortlessly.
