Coastal Sunlit Wedding Style: Palette, Florals, and Moodboard
A coastal wedding is the least fussy of the seven: white linen against blue water, sea grass and driftwood on the table, bare feet in warm sand. Everything is pale, breezy, and sun-drenched, and the reception simply follows the light from sunset into lanterns on the deck.
White linen against blue water, sea grass and driftwood, bare feet in warm sand. Simple, luminous, endlessly breezy.
