#227 | Delicate Dogwood

Even though Pantone named Greenery as their color of the year, I have to admit that I'm crushing really hard on Pale Dogwood. It's soft, romantic and the perfect hue for a spring weddings.

 

PALE DOGWOOD | LAVENDER | STONE | IVORY

Love how the dogwood is arranged in a casual, natural manner. They look effortless.

 

Heirloom pieces are perfect to incorporate into your wedding to honor family members that you cherish and who might not be present on your special day.

 

 

 

Delicate ruffle details make me swoon.
