color inspiration: rosemary and lemonade

I love this color combination! It's refreshing and crisp and clean and kind of reminds me of warm summer mornings in Italy. Normally I wouldn't mix green and yellow together, but since they are so muted they work together perfectly. Speaking of Italy, there was this one park in particular where they would screen a different American movie each week of the summer and the chairs were painted this exact green. They were so perfectly worn and beautiful with their different layers of paint poking through.

Outdoor Celebrations

When the weather starts to warm up there is nothing I crave more than to go outside! What's even better is an outdoor party with homemade goodies, relaxed conversation and sparkling drinks. I love how beautiful a space can become with hundreds of candles, lanterns, and twinkling lights, not to mention the amazing colors that are created with those types of lighting! On that note, I thought I would put together a board focused just on that type of celebration. Enjoy!

*Throughout the week I will post pictures of weddings that remind me of the same feeling and could easily mesh with this kind of party!
