Seaside Wedding Inspiration

I can’t believe this weekend is Memorial Day.  Do you know what that means?  It’s summer!  And to officially usher in the season, here’s a little inspiration for your summer seaside soiree!  Sperrys, twine and rope detail add nautical charm, while gorgeous hand-lettered escort cards keep it classic and personal.  A perfect combination for a laid-back, preppy summer wedding!
