Caribbean Blue, Coconut + Ruby Inspiration {by} Postcards & Pretties…


Today I have some decor ideas for you, inspired by Mexico. Bright colors, mixed textures, and some fun cultural nods make for a fantastic fiesta!!!
How about a private sweetheart table on the beach at dusk? Serape blankets as aisle or table runners, maracas and sombreros as favors or photo booth props, papel picado draped across the room, a bright and textural bouquet, a bold hand painted cake, or layers of pink fringe to stand under as you say your I do’s? Love it all!

Who doesn’t love a tequila bar? This lighted Hola sign is simply adorable, and I adore this floral garland and ribbon chair decor.


Kraft and neon, what a divine combination! Playful, modern, and bold. I would LOVE to design a celebration with this palette!

I spotted these bottled favor/gift ideas over on Matt Bites the other day, and I just love them!
Simple syrups, perfectly packaged. I think these would make a fantastic hostess gift, or something fun to take along to a bridal shower! Cocktails, anyone?
These little bottles of limoncello look so delicious and refreshing! Whip up a favorite drink, put it in some pretty bottles, and give them out as wedding favors or gifts. I think making some apple cider, or mulled wine and packaging it like this could be a great Christmas present or winter wedding favor!
All it took was some bottles, some labels, and a little creativity! Head on over to Matt Bites to learn more:)


I love daisies! They are so sweet and cheerful. My favorite by far are tiny little chamomile daisies. They fit so perfectly with the flowy, carefree style I love so much for weddings! Since I am constantly dreaming of these little darlings, I put together some dreamy daisy inspiration to share with you.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Happy Friday, everyone! The weekend has almost arrived, so I wanted to leave you with a little something fun. Summer will be here before we know it, and for some reason whenever I think summer, I think gingham! While I love the classic Americana take on gingham in navy blues, whites and reds, my favorite kind of gingham is a mix of it in all the colors of the rainbow. A colorful gingham explosion! It makes me think of picnics in the park, running through the sprinklers, lemonade under a beach umbrella, icy fruit popsicles, and frolicking in the pool, among other things.
A colorful gingham wedding, or party of any sort would be so cute! If you have one, pretty, pretty please invite me.


Sometimes, the most simple details are the most delightful. This iced white cake adorned with a menagerie of colorful mini balloons, by Inchmark, is a perfect example!
It’s ideal for a kid’s party, but I think it would work just as well for a quirky and casual DIY wedding. So much cuteness, I almost can’t take it!
