A Sweet Soiree: {Powder Blue, Gray + White}

{Powder Blue, Gray + White}

Summer weddings are a time for bringing out all kinds of soft and pretty colors. For me, this shade of periwinkle has always had a soft spot in my heart. Perhaps it's because it's a color we don't see very often in weddings? Whatever the case may be... one thing is for sure, I'm smitten with this pretty little palette. Soft, elegant and all kinds of pretty, this is the stuff that Summer weddings are made of.

Pretty Centerpiece + Pink Lipstick

One thing I always like to remind my brides is that sometimes less is more. You don't have to have floral arrangements that are dripping with jewels. And you surely don't have to have the fanciest of linens. But if you can incorporate a little color here and there you will surely create an overall feel that will be inviting and celebratory. So what do you think? Are you in love with pink, perhaps? And how do you feel about it when paired with gray?
