{guest post} mediterranean inspiration board from paper garland

Hi Postcards & Pretties readers! 

 I'm Paloma, editor of a lifestyle & inspiration blog called Paper Garland, and there's nothing I love more than whipping up a fresh inspiration board to share with my readers.  So then, you can imagine how excited I was when my favorite curator of gorgeous boards, Chris, asked me to contribute a guest post while she is away on vacation.  Since Chris is off enjoying the beauty of the Mediterranean in Portugal, I was inspired to design a wedding that she might come across on her travels.  I hope you enjoy it!

{colors} Aqua, Poppy, Dusty Neutrals

{description} Fresh, natural beauty is at its best down on the shores of the Mediterranean, and so are the opportunities for inspiration.  I am imagining a "Fish Tale" wedding influenced by all of the gorgeous colors and local offerings you can find between the shore and the streets of a small fishing village.  Bright, vibrant tones of red and aqua are muted by the dusty sand and clear waters, and their liveliness is brought down to Earth with simple findings like fish hooks, antiques, and painted driftwood.  The bride would love to play "mermaid" on her wedding day and I can't think of a better dress for the part than this dip-dyed stunner!
