Board #151: Chandeliers on the Beach

I have had several requests over the last few months for inspiration boards that are beach weddings, without being overly beachy. I think that this romantic, beach wedding board fits that description. I love the pale blue for a beach wedding - it's a nice change of pace from turquoise - and brown is really only an accent color here in things like wood and sand, rather than incorporated hyper-consciously into the palette. Chandeliers and a lounge area are a great way to elevate the outdoors, making for an elegant and romantic wedding on the beach.

Mood: elegance on the beach
Palette: pale blue, white, brown and tan accents
