{destination} Portugal

{colors} blue, clay, white lace 

{description} Who knew creating a destination board about a country I know so well would be so hard? I've been working on this board for over a year now and I think I'm finally happy with it {hey! I'm a bit of a perfectionist}. It has everything I love about my little country except the food which I think needs a post on it's own.  The first thing you see when you're about to land are the clay roof tiles, so you know they needed to be a part of this wedding board.  I also love the idea of old rustic farm tables lined with beautiful and intricate lace or renda where family & friends can gather.  The blue and white china is inspired by the traditional tiles or azulejos seen throughout and no Portuguese table is complete without some wine or vinho.
