It’s starting to feel like spring in North Carolina, so I thought a fresh, vibrant board would be perfect for this week! I love all the patterns going on here — it certainly makes for a lively look, doesn’t it? Using gingham linens at your reception — while more expensive than plain white ones, to be sure — would make such an impact that not much other decor would be needed. La Tavola Linen has two great blue gingham linens — here and here. I also love the idea of using farmer’s market baskets of fresh blueberries in place of floral centerpieces. We did this at my sister’s wedding, and guests loved it!
