Board #380: Pretty Pretty Picnic

So sorry for the late post today friends! Some inspiration boards are easier to finish than others, and for some reason I had the hardest time finding just the right images to pull this look together. I was going for a picnic wedding, but with a slightly different feel than some of the other picnic inspiration boards I've posted. This time, instead of a retro kitschy look, I wanted something that was a little bit bold and utterly feminine. Maybe with a bit of a woodsy feel to it? Anyway, I hope you enjoy and that it was worth the wait!

Mood: relaxed romance, flirty fun
Palette: oak leaf, raspberry, marigold

So awesome. Great ideas in here. I love the photos on the clothesline, and I'm loving the multiple cakes more and more each day.

Please keep up the inspiration boards! I love that you use the words oak leaf, marigold, and raspberry versus brown/yellow/pink! Your site always gives me major loads of inspiration.

great collection of photos! How did you get them all to come up... usually when I go past two photos, the colors invert!

I love the family photo clothesline! I did something very similar for my daughter's first birthday and it was a big hit.

It's truly amazing how happy I get everytime I look at your blog. Now you have just given me a fantastic idea about using picnic rugs and baskets and lovely flowers for a party at Sea Salt Beach House. Thanks!

i can't stop looking at this one. i saved it on my computer yesterday. i showed it to my boyfriend, and he loves it too (hint, hint boyfriend!). we both love the blankets with flowers, picnic baskets, and pillows and how homemade everything is. thank you! i have a feeling we'll be putting some of these ideas to use in the semi-near future. :)

I love this board and it is along the lines of the theme of our July '09 budget friendly wedding- a Garden Party. Our details are based on saturated colors inspired by the garden. Check out treatio.blogspot.com as I'll be posting more details about the wedding over the next few months.

So punchy with a relaxed feel. It makes me want to play hooky and have a picnic...with a raspberry crisp dessert.
