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

As I'm sure you know by now, last Friday was the Royal Wedding with Kate Middleton carrying a lovely dainty bouquet made mostly of lily of the valley - which I loved. I know there's lots of talk about it being too small - but in my opinion, it was perfect for Kate, not overpowering her small frame and not competing with her GORGEOUS wedding gown. I thought it was such a beautiful arrangement of flowers as it's more free flowing and not having each flower strategically placed. The overall look is soft and just perfect for a spring wedding.

Since I've always loved Lily of the Valley - there's just something so sweet and pretty about the tiny bell flowers, I had to put together a Lily of the Valley inspiration board.

There's just something about the color combo of navy blue with fuschia that just looks amazing together. I love it for fun bridal showers and even classy weddings. This particular inspiration board has a bit of a ruffle flair to it and all of the items shown below are from etsy.

When I came across the dress below on etsy from Minx Shop, I immediately had to put together an inspiration board based on the grey color palette with the introduction of ivory. In the end, I ended up with a bit of a vintage vibe too. Grey is such a popular neutral now for weddings, it looks great paired with nearly any color. What's your favorite color with grey?

I recently received an email from a reader looking for some inspiration for an upcoming wedding. The colors were going to be royal blue and orange {more on the burnt orange side} and she asked if I could put an inspiration board together for her. And, here's what I came up with for her - and of course, I have to vote for either royal blue or orange wedding shoes :)
