Board #386: Billy Buttons

Billy buttons (also called billy balls or craspedia) are so playful and silly, and I thought they'd be fun inspiration for a wedding board. No pastels here - the yellow in today's inspiration board is highly saturated, and instantly cheerful. And though I've placed this wedding in a garden (because all I want is to be spending my days outside right now), this feeling and color scheme could definitely work indoors - maybe in a modern loft, or even a sleek restaurant.

Mood: playful, retro
Palette: mustard, cream

Think something like this could ever be used for fall? So many of these palettes are gorgeous but most don't strike me as fall appropriate.

I'm getting married in September and my colors are going to be yellow and a light yellow-green. I think any warm hues can be "fall colors". And besides, who cares, it's YOUR wedding!

I love the "howdy" card and the lemonade dispenser! Yellow is such a happy color. And the Billy buttons (or whatever you want to call them) are adorable.
