{#91} vintage denim inspiration board

{colors} teak brown , denim blue, white
{description} for today's board i was inspired by the friday's faves necklace by emersonmade. the color palette was perfect for this vintage country board. i love rustic tables with vintage carafes and milk glass centerpieces.  by replacing tradional napkins with striped white and denim tea towels and attaching the menu with mini cloths pins will give the table a more casual feel.  skip the traditional guestbook and allow your guests to write sweet words on heart-shaped doilies and hang them on a string.
