Wedding Inspo from My Early 20s

This is going to be kind of a funny post (at least to me!). I logged into a personal Pinterest account and discovered a private wedding board I made when I was in college/first living in NYC. It’s not that robust, but it was funny to go back through old images during what was PEAK Pinterest days. (I’m pretty sure I added things between 2011 and 2013.)

I am positive that, despite my best attempts to have a “classic & timeless” wedding, I will still look back in a few decades (or simply years!) and think that it was actually “trendy” for the time. This was also my PEAK obsession with Kate Spade, so clearly that very much inspired what I was drawn to.

(These are all very old so I tried my best to find original sources– if I missed something, please do let me know!)

Okay I still really love this. Maybe just minus the purple clutch….

These were pinned either my senior year of college when I was dreaming of New York or the first year I was living there. Even then I still wanted a courthouse wedding ha! I do love the idea of a short dress, though maybe not so into the feather moment anymore.

This was from a Cup of Jo blog post in 2012. I still love everything about it. I like the non-traditional wedding dress and her bouquet!

(Pretty sure this was originally from Martha Stewart Weddings, though the original page is no longer active.)

I really loved bright pinks and black/white situations. Still love the dress above and love peonies, but wouldn’t go pink right now. Again, very Kate Spade!
