inspiration for a neutral pastel wedding

I love the color palette I've been seeing all over the wedding blog world: a taupe, pink, and gray palette.  I think of these colors as neutral pastels - so easy to work with that they can be layered together with ease.  I think this palette lends itself especially well to a vintage-style wedding and works equally well for spring or fall.  I think pastels make any event feel a little bit more like a fairy tale.

Bunting banners add whimsy and vintage style to a simple pastel save-the-date.  For an intimate wedding, the bride and groom could send each guest a DIY banner with the information on the last triangle in lieu of a card.

Dresses in a range of neutral pastels look so beautiful together - this color scheme really lends itself to a mismatched-bridesmaids look.

Do-it-yourself and do-it-together projects look so gorgeous in a feminine color scheme.

The great thing about choosing a range of tones rather than one or two specific colors for a wedding is the opportunity to incorporate beautiful items found in fabric shops and antique stores without worrying if the details will "match" - instead, knowing that they will "go."

I love seeing little nooks and seating areas for conversation at weddings - I think it's important to keep in mind that weddings are a reunion for friends and family in addition to being a celebration of the bride and groom.

I love the combination of store bought and DIY lanterns strung from the trees on wide, sheer ribbons.
