Red Berry & Country Wedding

I love when I find awesome blogs that inspire me! It's even better when I find two awesome blogs to inspire me.

Leslie, from A Creative Mint, not only comes up with the most amazing color palettes and has a knack for finding the perfect items and photographing them just so! Her photos have kick started more than a few of my inspiration boards.

As a newlywed and busy professional, I have maken it a point to make an effort to learn how to cook. I watch some of my friends in amazement as they grab this and that and whip up a delicious meal so effortlessly. I'm not going to lie, cooking is a chore, but I love when I make something that makes my husband rave. Katie's blog, What Katie Ate, provides inspiration (and recipes) that make me want to run to the kitchen and whip up a gorgeous meal. Her photography skills rival her cooking skills. I also really dig the new natural trend in culinary and food photography as opposed to the highly polished finish look. The imperfect Double Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova Cake was the perfect balance of casual elegance to drive my inspiration board.
