Green Wedding Shoes has always been one of my favorite blogs to follow! Jenny is just the sweetest and not only does she run a great blog but she is also one of my favorite friends! I’m so happy to have Jenny in my life and so excited to have her guest blog for me!

I’m so excited for Leila + Tony. I’ve had the joy of hanging out with the two of them a few times this past year and they make such a great couple. They really are perfect for one another. I thought in honor of them being on their honeymoon, I would share something that inspires me – traveling. I love traveling to new places and you can find so much inspiration by enjoying new cultures, architecture and landscapes. I know one of the places they are visiting is the gorgeous towns of Cinque Terre in Italy – one of the beautiful places my husband and I traveled on our honeymoon too! Cinque Terre is made up of 5 small villages along the coast in Italy that are connected by hiking paths and trains. I’m inspired by the the colorful houses (they even have a person in charge of picking the paint colors for the houses – what a fun job!) along the coasts – which would make for a fun palette. Pesto + pizza are both popular in this area as well as lemoncello.

Next is Paris. Paris is the city of love + fashion, so lots to be inspired by here…

And Bali. I’ve never been here, but that top left photo makes me want to visit there so much! A beautiful palette of blues, greens, white and wood.

Congrats to Leila + Tony and I hope you guys are having an amazing honeymoon – and continue to find inspiration along the way.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a media Monday but that doesn’t mean that my clients haven’t been blowing up the wedding world! First I’m so proud to show part two of Kristy Rice from Momental Design’s collaboration with Green Wedding Shoes! Mary Dann gave event planning tips as Expert Advice in Inside Weddings. Bride and Bloom showed lots of love to Be Inspired clients in their new issue! Antonia Christianson beautifully designed an emerald and turquoise “Secret Garden” shoot based off of a Snippet and Ink inspiration board and Kristy Rice of Momental Designs handcrafted a “Bride” sign and was featured in the 25 best bouquets. The wedding of NBA player Brian Cook also featured in the mag and was elegantly planned by Bella Weddings and Events, with floral design by JL Designs, and photography by Jasmine Star. The bride looked as elegant as ever dripping in diamonds provided by Adorn! The gorgeous wedding took place at Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes. The Groom is a former Laker and now plays for the Houston Rockets. His basketball buddies Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar and Kareem Rush were all present to celebrate with the new couple! A big CONGRATS to all my clients… your amazing talents continue to inspire me!

May You Be Inspired,

Green Wedding Shoes has been a daily read of mine for a while. I remember how amazed I was to find out that owner, Jen Campbell, is not solely a blogger but has a full time high powered job also! She is a Creative Director who has worked on many high profile projects and only after planning her own wedding in 2008 did she catch the wedding fever! Thus the birth of one of my favorite bridal blogs. Just like us, Jen’s hope is to help others find inspiration. I have had the pleasure of spending time with her and getting to know her on a personal level and she is the real deal. She is genuine, warm, always smiling, and someone you can trust. I think this is why most of her readers are so obsessed. We believe in what she shares and we are always left wanting more. Green Weddings shoes is a one of a kind blog produced by a one of kind woman. I have so much respect and admiration for you Jen! Thanks for letting me be apart of your journey…Long live Green Weddings Shoes!! xo

Here is her guest post!

I wanted to thank Leila and her team for letting me share some of my current inspirations. Thanks so much!

Inspired By This asked her: “Where do you find your inspiration for posts?”

I find inspiration in a lot of places. Here are some of my current inspirations:

I love everything about this wedding – the barn venue, the hundreds of lights hanging from the ceiling, the sweet homemade details, and the photography of One Love Photo. The vintage feel of Heather’s photography is just so lovely and inspiring.

Ruffles! I love the texture of ruffles. So lovely and romantic. photo credits: left (dress) Kate Towers top right Rae Florae ; bottom right : Mary Norton

I get a lot of inspiration from window displays – especially Anthropologie. They always have the most creative displays and their take on modern vintage fits in with my personal style. Photo credits: flickr.com

Prop stylist Robyn Glaser amazes me! Tons of color combination inspiration and ideas for tabletop decor. Her photos are always so beautiful. All photos from Robyn’s portfolio can be seen on her website!

Letterpress work from Studio On Fire. Their blog showcases great typography, color, and design. They often feature invitations, but all their work is inspiring. They post almost daily and every post is awe-inspiring.

Dessert tables, candy bars, yummy little treats! I love all the creative/fun ideas brides are now creating for their wedding and/or rehearsal. Matching your theme, color palette, bringing in family recipes, the ideas are endless! photo credits: top: Next Exit Photography, Bottom left: Julie Skarratt ; Bottom right: Our Labor of Love

Thanks so much for sharing your inspirations with us Jen! We support you and love what you do for the wedding industry. You feature so many inspiring and deserving vendors on your blog and all of us in the wonderful world of weddings thanks you!
