When my family lived abroad, we went to Virginia every summer to stay with our closest family friends. One of my favorite Virginia summer traditions was when my best friend (see her wedding here!), her sister, my sisters, our moms, and I would dress up, go out to dinner, and take in a show at […]

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may recognize the pins from this board. I entered the Lilly Pulitzer/Southern Weddings Pinterest contest a few weeks ago, and though I didn’t win this one, I think I got a pretty good inspiration board out of it!

Monday’s sweet wedding got me thinking about other places to find rustic wedding inspiration.
