We’re traveling out to the Southwest for today’s Southern Inspiration Board. I thought the cool tones of blue agave, mixed with cactus green and sandstone neutrals, were a refreshing twist on the usual spring pastels – agreed?

One of the most beautiful signs of spring in the upper South is the blooming cherry blossoms in Washington, DC and Virginia. We heard from our DC photographer friend Abby Jiu that the mild winter has caused the peak bloom date to move forward (to March 20-23), so gals planning engagement sessions around the blossoms, take note! Whether or not you’re in the Capitol to see the blooms, we hope you’ll love this positively springy inspiration board.

    Definitely a great tip! I was in DC over the weekend and it’s absolutely gorgeous there already!

It’s starting to feel like spring in North Carolina, so I thought a fresh, vibrant board would be perfect for this week! I love all the patterns going on here — it certainly makes for a lively look, doesn’t it? Using gingham linens at your reception — while more expensive than plain white ones, to be sure — would make such an impact that not much other decor would be needed. La Tavola Linen has two great blue gingham linens — here and here. I also love the idea of using farmer’s market baskets of fresh blueberries in place of floral centerpieces. We did this at my sister’s wedding, and guests loved it!

    Sometimes I feel like the Southern Weddings gals crawl inside my head and post about everything that’s in there….Mallory & Kyle’s wedding is scheduled for this Saturday and blue gingham plays a big, fun role in the decor! Get out of my head, y’all!!! :) LOVE IT!
