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!

Sweet and happy — that pretty much sums up this board. Mix a backyard garden, a short, ruffly wedding dress, and colored bowls full of daisies and billy balls and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect spring or summer soiree. My favorite element? The oversized satin bow on that bouquet!

This isn’t the most summery of boards, I’ll give you that, but isn’t it beautiful? I’ve been wanting to base a palette around Todd Pellowe’s lovely photo (top left) for a while, but it just didn’t come together until this week. I love the casualness of the variety of dresses paired with the over-the-top opulence of that fantastic pomegranate cake. The range of hues in the gowns really provides the perfect start for a color scheme, doesn’t it?

I guess the only way to begin this post is to say, a girl can dream, right? Let’s start with the location: the soft, deep green, rolling back lawn of a Hamptons estate, punctuated by an oversized pool. The weather? Perfect: warm and dry, blue skies as far as the eye can see. The bride arrives in a vintage Rolls, wearing a polka-dotted Melissa Sweet (my favorite!). The groom and male guests are in classic black tuxes, the attendants are all in white. Of course the hedges are in bloom, and they only add to the lush, loose arrangements on the tables dotted across the lawn. And the cake? A delicious multi-tiered confection by Sylvia Weinstock.
Sigh.
