My Real Wedding Inspiration Board

When I was planning my own wedding, I loved seeing inspiration boards. I couldn't get enough and I was making myself some as well. It really gave an overall feel of what type of wedding I was going for, not to mention its a great starting point to any party planning.

Now what I loved even more... is seeing a real wedding inspiration board and compare their original idea and what the wedding actually looked like. Its fun to see if the theme/ideas stayed the same and see if the wedding is better than the inspiration board itself :)

I made my own before and after boards. (click to enlarge):

Real Wedding Inspiration Board
(1940s Vintage Glam Movie Theme)

My wedding theme changed a little in the planning process. When I first created my inspiration board, I was going for my pinks, golds, champagne colors and more a vintage modern approach. Then, it shifted to 1940s brown and ivory movie vintage theme. Honestly I really like how my wedding came out, and if I were to do it again... it would be exactly the same, but instead of brown and Ivory, I would go Ivory and Black.

I have to confess that I was sort of competing with my own inspiration board. I wanted my wedding to be better than what I had envision. I know... isn't it weird?

What do you think, is my real wedding board better than the original? Did you make a real wedding board as well? Would you have changed anything?
