Board #340: Urban Lavender
It must be the weather, but I find myself drawn to soft colors these days. Here, rustic, French country lavender comes to the big city. A chic short dress, an urban venue, paired with a simple hand-tied bouquet, jars of lavender, and antique French linens. I imagine an intimate family dinner followed by meeting up with friends for dancing.

One of my favorites so far (next to the recently yellow board and the dove gray board)! I am actually planning on putting lavender in our invitations :)

This is absolutely beautiful! I'm in the midst of planning a spring wedding in the city, thank you for the urban inspiration!
So sophisticated! Beautiful!

I am in awe as usual
I LOVE it! This might be my favorite set so far :)
Oh, I love, love lavender. I even wore a lavender-scented perfume at my wedding! This is a lovely board!
Ooo this might be my most favorite inspiration board I've seen yet!!
What a great inspiration board! I got married three months ago and am still loving looking at wedding websites! So lovely!
Thanks for sharing.
I'm loving that dress!

It never gets old seeing flowers, candles, and in this case lavendar in those mason jars.
That is by far one of my favourite & cost effective decor options.
Beautiful Board.
So funny. I was researching lavender bouquets for me and my girls last night. I even like the lavender place settings as boutonnieres for the guys.
I'm having a lavender wedding. it was originally going to be the colour, but more and more i like the idea of including the scent. I'm planning on a lavender bouquet, and maybe lavender bombonierres.
Anyway, i love this.
The board seems very wintery to me. Love the lavender!
I love that confeti photo
So. Sophisticated. Must reconsider wedding colors...
For a lavender wedding, we got dried lavender in bulk and made smaller bags for the welcome boxes. It smelled fabulous!
Love this look!
