Inspiration Board: Just Peachy
Happy new week, friends! Hope you had a lovely weekend. I spent it catching up with friends and indulging in a little side of rugby – what did you get up to? I wish weekends could last forever, but here we are, back at Monday, *sigh*. On the upside, Monday means pretty inspiration boards, and today’s is exactly that. I love peaches as a motif for a wedding – not only are they symbolic in Chinese culture of marriage and longevity, but in Renaissance art a peach with a leaf attached represented truthfulness and speaking from the heart. Plus, they’re totally pretty and a little bit rustic. Soft peachy pink goes beautifully with a warm coral orange and green, and pair that with brown neutrals like wood, craft paper and even copper, and you have the perfect combination. I just LOVE the idea of these peach pouches at each place setting – a totally sweet and affordable favour – but you could also treat your guests to homemade peach jam in pretty glass jars. For escort cards, try this sweet rustic option of little labels tied to birdcages – the cages can also be used to house gift envelopes from your guests.

ooooh this is pretty ~ I do love peachy weddings. You’ve also taught me a fascinating bit of art & culture today too. Thanks! :) x

I might want the weekend to last forever but such a pretty, peachy board makes Monday a bit more manageable!
So pretty. And I had no idea of the symbolic meaning of peaches in the Chinese culture. How cool…I learned something new today ;-)
Great result for the rugby, just peachy in fact :-) Gorgeous board, love how the subtler shades of peach are quite champagne like and can be very chic!
Peach is honestly one of my favorite wedding colors! It pairs so beautifully with white or ivory! :) Love!
I just love those homemade wedding goodies – from food treats to crafty items. They look adorable. And bridesmaids dresses are so cute.
