A long weekend is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors + beautiful summer weather. What better way to kick off the season than with a picnic? Pack summery bites [we're craving the watermelon + feta salad below] + fresh lemonade and dress up in your preppy best to welcome the summer season.  Happy holiday weekend!

This past weekend marked the opening of the much-anticipated Great Gatsby film and we can’t help but be inspired by the sophisticated feel of the 1920′s. Luxe, gilded details add richness to a Gatsby-inspired affair and geometric art deco touches are the perfect compliment to elegant gowns + ornate paper suites.

We love springtime for many reasons  [longer days, warm weather, wedding season], but we especially enjoy seeing beautiful blooms popping up.  April’s showers have brought May flowers!  We’ve compiled an array of lovely bouquets that suit any style; colorful or monochromatic, large or petite, rustic or refined.

Another season of beautiful gowns hit the NYC runways and we loved browsing images to find a few that stood out above the others. Silhouettes ranged from a modern fitted shape, to a classic fit-and-flare.  One common element we adore is the level of detail in the design.  From soft pleats to a structured bodice, each gown boasts a little something special to make it fit for a bride.

What better to be inspired by than this lovely Oscar de la Renta look from the Spring 2013 collection? It’s soft + pretty, just like some of our favorite wedding details. The slightly contrasting peachy-pinks + handmade floral appliques keep an otherwise monochromatic look from feeling too one-dimensional. Topped off with simple + fresh makeup, it’s the perfect spring inspiration!
