Board #381: Low Country Love

I suppose in some ways this wedding board is inspired by my road trips through South Carolina and Georgia - one of my absolute favorite things about driving through the South is the Spanish moss in the oak trees, and I wanted to create an inspiration board around that low-country look. Something simple and easy going. Nothing fussy or overwrought. A small town feel. Magnolias are an obvious floral choice, and peach jam and grits make for an appropriate regional favor. And I know it's rather trendy at this point, but I never get sick of sweet tea served in a mason jar.

Mood: low country rustic charm
Palette: Spanish moss, kraft paper, pale peach

perfect. a little more hydrangea blue-green and you've got my wedding down pat. Your "downhome blacktie" board was a huge inspiration, btw!
Love.

I love this, it reminds me of warm, slow, sticky summer days that I am dying for right now. I also am thinking of a wrap around porch and a rocking chair, and maybe a house like the one in Forrest Gump. I think I was supposed to be born in the south ;P
