Thank you for your patience as I gather my bearings after a week away! In the meantime, I thought I’d share a peek at one of the projects my Dad and I tackled for Kate’s wedding while I was home. We purchased 1 x 5″ x 10′ boards from Home Depot, he cut them into sections, and I hand painted the letters. Between needing to direct guests to the island, and then to the ceremony and reception sites once they’re there, we ended up with more than 25 signs!

My favorite?

Easy. Because, you know, love… actually is… all around.

I kind of really love these shorts. They’re retro, they’re modern, they can be dressed up or dressed down…. unfortunately, they’re also very expensive. Oh, J. Crew.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m still thinking red, white, and blue! Here’s a board to inspire a fun, relaxed picnic-inspired wedding. Hope the celebration’s continuing wherever you are!

I’m spending it at this beautiful place. Hope yours is filled with hot dogs + lots of bunting + a sparkler or two!
