Today's inspiration boards was created by one of our loyal readers, Natalie. It is absolutely gorgeous!

From the looks of it, they are right on track!

I am sure that many of you have heard of The Cake Girls. They have been featured in nearly every major magazine and are even going to have a spot on the Food Network this summer. If you haven't heard of them, prepare yourself to fall in love...with a cake.

Day to day, I get a lot of questions that don't necessarily fall into one category or another. So, I am going to make a new category called Q & A...basically just questions that I get from readers!

I love this palette that Joy over at Oh Joy, posted the other day...varying shades of pinks, green, blue and white. It seems so effortless. So, summer chic. Sometimes, people think too much about their palette and it almost becomes cliche. The best wedding colors, in my opinion, are those that don't seem forced or staged.
