Pantone and the Dessy Group May be Conspiring to Take Over the World...

So here I am, finally getting around to writing a follow-up piece to the inspiration/style board post I blogged about last week! The initial goal was to test drive a few different sites who are featuring the DIY style board "application" so to speak. Last week I posted a board I designed using my long time love, Polyvore. This week I quickly designed a "country casual" inspired board using the ever lovely, Dessy Group.
(Please click photo to see entire image) The best part about this site is that you have the option to browse their bridal collections, bridesmaid collections AND groom/groomsmen collection and add any images that you may like to your favourites list to use on your inspiration board. Awesome, awesome feature! If that's not handy enough, they even have an uploader so that you may bring your own found images that you may have been collecting to either use solely, OR use in collaboration with their extensive data base of images organized by categories such as florals, food, and decor. I designed this board using only images that I found on their database, just to demonstrate how many beautiful pictures they do have at your disposal.
Now I should mention, The Dessy Group has partnered with Pantone and the fantastic ladies at the Wedding Chicks to bring you various portions of their website. They have an entire wedding planning section, even allowing you to create your very own wedding website derived from your theme and colour palette! As I mentioned previously, the colour forecast for 2010 showcases the colour...drum roll please... turquoise! Pantone and the Dessy Group have banned together to come up with the most amazing thing that I have seen in recent history...the PANTONE wedding colour fanguide which showcases the 2010 wedding forecast all in one trusty little FAN DECK! Yes, ladies (and gents) you are now able to tote around this clever little fan deck and discard your paint chips, magazine clippings and fabric swatches from the depths of your purse. You may purchase the fan deck online at www.dessy.com
