As much we all hate to admit that planning a wedding can be down right stressful. Today's inspiration board is the complete opposite with it's serene and relaxing color palette of pale green and worn washed-out wood. It's spring so take a minute to take in the new season and just breathe.

Wedding altars have been drastically upgraded since our parent's weddings, haven't they? I love these organic and natural altars seen in weddings today. Who would have guessed that a draped light gauzy fabric and a branch or two could make such a gorgeous altar. Here are a few of my favorites.

Even though today's inspiration board has a super soft palette it screams Spring. If you're a daily P&P reader you probably figured out that I love casual outdoor weddings, they just sing to me with their gorgeous outdoor pews to the appearance of furry friends.

I am absolutely in love with today's Pretty Details! These mini eggshell vases are the perfect whimsical touch to add to your spring table.

There's no way avoiding pastels when it comes to Spring. It's soft, inviting and absolutely perfect. I love the speckled egg details in this board and the pale blue pick up beautifully decorated with a floral garland will be the perfect addition to the couple's getaway.

Acrylic is no stranger to weddings. We all seen those incredible ghost chairs in receptions all over but latest crush are acrylic escort cards and/or seating charts. Who doesn't love a fresh contemporary detail especially with pretty calligraphy. Now the big debate is which do you prefer individual escort cards or postcards and prettieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355878095003080018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017307429632704451.post-74998456780422200822017-03-28T07:00:00.000-04:002017-03-28T07:00:12.282-04:00#235 | Spring Sunshine Inspiration Board
The last couple of days has been the greyest of greys. So I wanted to bring a little Spring sunshine to P&P. I'm a huge fan of bright yellow paired with soft pinks and greens. It's such a fun color palette and will definitely brighten up any event.

I'm that girl that literally kills every house plant I own. There's no hope for me at all, and I love my mom for believing that one day I wont overwater or totally neglect the plant.

There are endless ways to fold a napkin but today's Pretty Details is all about knotted napkins. It has to be one of the most simplest ways to dress up your table and with no napkin ring in sight. What do you think about it?
