It must be the weather, but I find myself drawn to soft colors these days. Here, rustic, French country lavender comes to the big city. A chic short dress, an urban venue, paired with a simple hand-tied bouquet, jars of lavender, and antique French linens. I imagine an intimate family dinner followed by meeting up with friends for dancing.
Mood: French country meets city chic
Palette: sidewalk gray, lavender

It never gets old seeing flowers, candles, and in this case lavendar in those mason jars. That is by far one of my favourite & cost effective decor options.Beautiful Board.
So funny. I was researching lavender bouquets for me and my girls last night. I even like the lavender place settings as boutonnieres for the guys.
I’m having a lavender wedding. it was originally going to be the colour, but more and more i like the idea of including the scent. I’m planning on a lavender bouquet, and maybe lavender bombonierres. Anyway, i love this.
The board seems very wintery to me. Love the lavender!
I love that confeti photo
So. Sophisticated. Must reconsider wedding colors…
For a lavender wedding, we got dried lavender in bulk and made smaller bags for the welcome boxes. It smelled fabulous!Love this look!LauraBridalBubbly
