Here’s one variation of a red, white, and blue board – a ceremony on a sailboat, a casual lobster boil reception at the bride’s childhood home in Maine, and a simple + understated “tie the knot” theme. Choose darker reds, navier blues, and sun-bleached neutrals to keep this palette cohesive.

The Details:

God bless all those who have given their lives in service to our country, and those around the world who still stand ready to do the same.

Our weekly inspiration board {red, white, and blue this time!} will be posted tomorrow morning.

Nos. 69, 71, + 72? Done, done, and done. What are you up to this weekend?

P.S. Thoughts on the new banner? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? It’s okay, I can take it.

…ice cream bowl. The petite bowl on top was recently gifted to me. I’m in love with the script – apparently it’s from an old paint chip? – and the slip-cast porcelain is delightfully delicate. Snag your own set on Etsy from Gleena Shop.
