Inspiration Board: A French Country Fete!

Good Morning! 

Today I wanted to share three inspiration boards I created for a guest post on my friend Wendy's blog, Just Wenderful!
I've had France on the mind lately...between my French Lessons, a French Country Inspired wedding I'm styling next year, and weekly trips to my favorite new neighborhood French Bistro.

The first board shows the lovely setting. 



 I'm imaging overgrown dirt roads leading up to a gorgeous chateau. Wooded paths & lavender surround a tent set up in a field, all aglow with string lights and boasting comfy antique couches, a vintage rug and an abundance of grainsack pillows.

The next board shows the details...always my favorite!

The decor is rustic, yet classic with rusty jars full of lavender, mismatched vintage silverware and china, charming paper goods, antique watering cans and a wildflower table runner. Set upon an old pillar is a tower of macarons! which are served in lieu of a traditional wedding cake.

The last board shows the attire. Ruffles, tulle and blush tones.. le swoon! 


Tones and fabrics like these work well in the naturally gorgeous setting. The bridesmaids wear dresses of their choosing in neutral tones. The groom is in a comfortable, yet classic suit and the rings are unique hammered gold..hers featuring a gorgeous sparkly stone!

I want to thank Wendy of Just Wenderful for asking me to guest blog and sharing these boards on her blog yesterday! Be sure to head over and check out the post and spend some time getting inspired by her lovely and thoughtful blog!

Erin, you manage to make me swoon every time. The ruffles on that skirt are divine and I want to be transported to the scene you just described so very badly.
