This is the second of four design boards that are inspired by my little sisters.

Alyse is only eight, so her wedding day is definitely a long way off, but she just loves weddings! She loves to look through wedding magazines and check all the great wedding blogs with me. Alyse is a tom-boy, but she also has a sensitive and romantic side and I really wanted to make the design all-girl to capture that part of her personality. She told me that she wanted her board to be elegant and romantic, and that she liked the colors blue and pink. The garden setting and chandeliers are lovely and romantic, while the classic simplicity of all the florals, dresses, and the cake radiate an understated elegance.

Once a week I post an inspiration board on my website. This is the inspiration for the week!

I spent the past week in Southern Utah visiting my family. While I was there I was trying to begin work on my new inspiration for this week, and I had no idea what I wanted to base it on, then I decided to just base it on what I was surrounded by: Sisters (I have seven!). So for the next few weeks my challenge for myself is to create an inspiration board for each of my four littlest sisters, I am so excited to see if I can capture the personality and style that I see in each of them.

This week is inspired by my thirteen year old sister Ryanne! Ryanne is so funny and unique. I can definitely see her doing something over the top that has never been seen before! She is totally a trend setter, I actually felt limited trying to use photos to try to capture her style, but I've done my best. She is bright, happy, silly, and absolutely random so I went with happy colors and a mix of patterns.
