When we think of a modern wedding, it can take on several different meanings. But to our minds, we think of a modern minimalist style. It's an event design that is defined by the use of up-to-date or neutral colors and clean lines. The invitations and wedding decor have a decidedly artistic style. We might see a contemporary styling in the bridesmaid dresses, wedding dresses, and more. Certainly, a modern wedding can overlap with other styles -- like modern boho, or modern romantic -- but for this collage we're thinking clean clack and white modern style, with chic dresses, modern art-inspired paper goods, and minimalist decor.

We've been doing a lot of our inspiration board posting over on LiketoKnow.it, which is a shopping app that allows you to shop various looks for top bloggers. We create and share content there that doesn't always make it to the blog, so we've decided to start trying to overlap a little more and to share it here as well!
