A Very Lilly Wedding

One color palette I dream of seeing in one of my weddings is something Lilly Pulitzer inspired. The famous Palm Beach designer combines bold and fresh colors with a love for all things preppy. Below is an splash I compiled with some ideas that remind me of this fabulous lady. Perfect for beach weddings with a little sophistication!

And it that weren't enough inspiration, take a peek at the 50th Anniversary of Lilly Pulitzer!
