This warm, elegant and classic inspiration board from Snippet & Ink sums up what we love about the holidays. All the best to you this holiday season!

WOW! This color combo can be done oh so right! With the rich tones of our Nantucket’s native cranberry this board has some serious pop. Have you considered adding a splash of cranberry into your Nantucket wedding?

As we all prepare for Thanksgiving we thought we would put some of our favorite images together that evoke the feeling of the season.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Being that Nantucket is an old school whaling town there is a ton of history in the island air. From the Nantucket baskets, wooden sailboats and all the vintage pieces you can really feel as if you are stepping back in time. We thought we would honor this history with a simple inspiration board that ties it all together. You can have that vintage island feeling at your wedding by adding in a splash here and there.

Top Row L to R: Nantucket Bride in Codfish Park circa 1885, available at the NHA; Rainbow Fleet rounding Brant Point; Peter Beaton Hat.

Row 2: Navy & yellow table setting by Soiree Floral, photo by Brea McDonald; Navy & star sailing cloth tent by Sperry Tents.

Row 3: Beaded dress by Carolina Herrera; Gold Compass available via Soiree Floral; Nantucket Baskets at the Basket Museum.

Bottom: Nautical Chart table linens available at Placesetters; Custom designed invitations available at Griffin-vites.

We saw this inspiration board and went ga-ga for the cheery yellow color scheme.  Reminiscent of daffodils peeking out of the ground in early spring this is great inspiration for a wedding over daffodil weekend.

The weather map says that fall is in full swing and all those colors will soon fade away. So one last inspiration board to celebrate this beautiful season!

Cozy fabrics and rich warm tones rule the fall season in New England. This Inspiration Board caught our eye at Snippet and Ink. Can’t you just see this rustic wedding taking place at the Sconset Casino or at Westmoor Farms??
