wedding wednesday: inspiration for a midcentury summer camp wedding

As I simply stated last week, camp is home to me. Not just my own childhood summer camp, which truly is my second home because it's so full of memories, but the whole idea of camp in general. Even though I'm not outdoorsy, there was a place for me among cabins and campfires, and I learned more about myself in those weeks than I did the other 360 days of the year! Last year, I rounded up inspiration for a rustic, craftsman-style summer camp wedding. This summer, I'm turning my muse toward a more traditional view of camp: think Moonrise Kingdom. I love checking out wedding photos from camp weddings because the camp is so often a special place for the bride and groom - their second home.

For this classic take on summer camp vibes, a saturated color palette is a must - sky blue, gingham red, sunflower yellow, and pine green are all welcome! Antique stores can be a great place to score vintage finds like merit badges, thermos canteens, lanterns, picnic blankets, and even camp furniture.

Retro Summer Style: Aquamarine and Gingham

In the virtual wasteland that is this summer's network television schedule, I have been really excited about The Astronaut Wives Club - I love learning more about the 1960's, and I was excited to see Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah from Chuck) and JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Ariel from Once Upon a Time) among the stars. When I found out the series is based on a book I knew I had to add it to my summer reading list. This week, I'm channeling 60's summer style - aquamarine, shirtwaist dresses, and classic feminine details like gingham prints and scalloped edges.

spring color: vintage style lemon wedding

"Evelyn" printable invitation from Wedzu

I think that if Mr. Q and I had gotten married in the spring, I would have been very tempted to have a lemon yellow wedding with vintage touches, Southern charm, and a hint of teal.  I love the diagonal stripes on this printable invitation.

Hello, Love

I love that these paper straws echo the striped pattern from the printable invitations, and personalized drink flags are an adorable touch.

Isn't this the cutest cake table?  Proof that a display doesn't have to be over-the-top to be beautiful.  I love that the paint on the buffet is almost the same shade as the bridesmaids' dresses above, and I would love to get my hands on those cake stands!

What are your favorite colors for spring celebrations?
