Still in a dreamy haze of bold colors, I came across this beautiful shoot that Summer Watkins styled for Southern Weddings Magazine.  I had to share her gorgeous handiwork.

I’m madly in love with the punchy color palette of poppy, pink and garnet paired with subtle, muted neutrals (my latest obsession as you can see in my pinterest collection!).  

The bouquets featured a collection of roses, peonies, anemones, astilbe, dusty miller foliage and velvety geranium foliage – love the texture and the lace ribbon!

The cutie printables were created by MaeMae Paperie.

The handsome couple was casually clad for their afternoon dessert and punch celebration (a decidedly old school southern tradition).

A simple velvet ribbon is all you need to add some drama.

This cast away scrap fork that was dressed up by dipping it in paint.  Simple!  The napkin rings are composed of a band of paper and scalloped lace trim.

My favorite picture!  

(This brings me back to the sticky-floors of a favorite U of I bar where groups of us would share ‘shark bowls’ composed of…who knows what…that always did the trick!)

Makes me want to go put some punchy lipstick on…
