If you described this table to someone, it may sound a bit too rainbow colorful. But they did such a beautiful job! The colors are bright enough to feel festive and cheerful without being an over the top kid's birthday party. I loved the colored glassware, the soft gold lanterns, and those stunning flowers. Well done!

summer vibes
How much do you love this photo of Goldfish Kiss? This could be a cover of Vogue in the 70's. Love the golden tones, the messy hair, the lily she used like a hibiscus.
Fellow blogger Rebekah Steen is my sister's husband's sister and should be your summer resource. She blogs about all things beachy - fashion, hair, workouts, etc. Check out her blog before your summer vacation for some inspiration!

peony wedding flowers
During my first conversation with the florist, I explained that I wanted peonies as my wedding flowers. Soft colors with texture, like the bouquet above. I then learned that both peonies and aneomes were out of season in October....so I needed to go back to the drawing board. This ended up being a blessing as I love what we ended up with! (Lesson-check out garden roses if you love peonies).
Below is some peony inspiration if they're in season for you.
Peony season is of course Spring. April, May, and June.

the home edit = organized!
I discovered The Home Edit through Instagram. I think they took over for Domino one day. Look at all these closets, refrigerators, and cabinets! Ahhhh......looks so nice. Hint: mine do not look like these!
Notice some themes. Put things in containers/buckets. Add a label with a pretty pen and nice handwriting. Group like items together based on category. This feels so much calmer and helps people find what they need. Nothing too crowded.
