Inspiration Board : Pink Lemonade and Lace Weddings

With it officially feeling like summer in the northeast, I've been starting to crave pink lemonade. So to satisfy my craving and omit placing the added sugar in my body - I opted to put together an inspiration board instead with pink lemonade and pink lace - plus a touch of light grey as it just pairs so beautifully with pink.

Color Palette: pink and grey

Lace Doilies and Weddings : a growing trend

Today I wanted to share with you some of the beautiful uses of doilies for weddings. With more and more weddings going vintage, I think we will be seeing many more uses for this delicate lace whether it's with paper or fabric. And, if you're looking for vintage doilies for your own DIY projects, a simple search for "doily" on etsy under the dropdown of "vintage" yielded 80 pages of results when I last checked.

Using doilies as place cards, you can place a small token or favor inside a rolled over doily that is secured with a vintage brooch. And, then write the name of the guest and place the doily on the center of their plate. {from Matthew Mead} Consider coasters at each place setting or as favors. {from The Cozy Chalet} Lace luminaries add a beautiful candle lit glow to your reception. The intricate patterns of doilies glued inside of paper-bag lanterns are illuminated by votive candles. {from Martha Stewart Weddings} Crocheted doilies make for a beautiful handbag. {from Country Living, w/how-to instructions} Beautifully handcrafted wedding invitations with paper doilies. {from Lee & Hamilton Wedding}
