Plum + Lime Wedding Inspiration

Does anyone else out there use Polyvore? Its "Create" tool is an instant online inspiration-board maker...mostly for fashion, but there are housewares, florals, paper, etc. that can be used to create event themes and inspiration. I just made and am loving this one....the combination of vibrant plum and lime, the Indian-inspired patterns and elephant elements, and pulling in limes in the bouquet and food. And I REALLY love the Catherine Malandrino pleated wool dress--perfect for fall bridesmaid's attire!

Modern Autumn Table Decor Inspiration

For a modern take on fall table decor, replace leaves and pumpkins with other outdoor elements, like tree bark, pinecones, and kitschy-cool animals. Update the usual warm shades of red and orange with lighter, brighter hues such as terracotta, burnt orange, and light sage green. The overall effect still feels warm, cozy, and natural, but the woodsy elements and adding white to the palette makes this setting feel totally different from traditional tables.
