inspiration for a coral prep wedding

Since my post a couple of weeks ago on how popular Pantone's Strawberry Ice color has become this summer, I haven't been able to stop dreaming of cool coral pinks. Today, I'm imagining a preppy Southern summer wedding with garden-fresh florals, champagne, calligraphy, and plenty of bow ties!

How beautiful is this driveway? I love the pop of blue from the hydrangeas.

Does it get more preppy than a dog in a polka dot bow tie?

• Two years ago, I did a #FebPhotoADay photodump, made chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting and shared ideas for incorporating gray and hushed blues into home decor.
• Three years ago, I recapped my wedding planning thrift store adventures, and found my bridesmaids' dresses.
