I don’t often knot my belts, but it seemed to fit in with a Nautical Garden Party For One.
On this overcast and slightly rainy day, instead of moping, I threw a party! Tea anyone?
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you’re having a wonderful Friday. I’m heading off to
a wedding at the family vineyard, pictured here.
My brother-in-law J and his fiancé S have planned some delightful details for their reception.
Some of my favorites include mixed, vintage flatware that they have been collecting for
months from various sources; Kitschy salt and pepper shaker centerpieces (hamburgers,
animals, vegetables and many more); S handmade all bridal party dresses in green; bride is
wearing a green polka-dotted sash with her short tea dress; and instead of cake, they are
serving pies made by various family and friends. It’s going to be a laid-back BBQ hoedown.
If these details aren’t enough to describe the couple’s quirky personalities, get this–the bride
says she’s going to announce dessert time with a primal scream, “EAT PIE!!”? She. is. a. ham.
If S chickens out, I will do it–Braveheart style.
Kick back this weekend with some pie and ice cream. Also, link up to the Color Brigade and

Oh I love this outfit! The skirt is gorgeous paired with the floral top. The shoes are a fun addition. Have fun at the wedding. Backyard weddings that are laid back are the best and most fun weddings!
Van, your blog renovation looks amazing! I love the watercolor splash on your first photo and your color/pattern family collage. It’s so simple yet incredibly unique.
What a fabulous skirt! Sounds like it will be a fabulous wedding too… and I think siblings’ weddings are fun because you get to party with the family that you were too busy doing the receiving line to party with at your own wedding
Have fun!
Those sandals are AWESOME!! and the last pic of them in the clovers is my favorite. I had to make myself comment about your clothing … because what I really want to talk about is … PIE!! Oh my that sounds like a wonderful wedding. I can not wait to see the photos and hear all about it. I hope you have a fabulous weekend sweet friend!
The more I see your yellow sandals, the more I love them!:) It really does go well with do many things. All these pics from this post made me happy; the colors really are happy looking despite the dreary weather there. It needs to rain where I am since we’ve been having drought for so long. I love how simple and fun your in-laws’ wedding is gonna be! The last few weddings I’ve been to have been sometimes too fancy for me.
I just love this look. All the colors work beautifully together and the sandals take this look to another level.
I love the print mixing too – such a pro!
I LOVE this outfit. You could teach me a few things about mixing prints – you’re also AWESOME at layering.
I love the changes you’ve made, especially the watercolor on the first picture as well as the color palette. You’ve been working hard!
pretty mix of prints
p.s. i use to live in atlanta so i know about that heat and nasty humidity, but i honestly can take that more than being in NY when it’s so hot b/c you walk everywhere or take the subaway. in atlanta at least i had my car and a/c as refuge. next time i’m in NYC and it’s that hot i guess i could just splurge and take a cab. haha.
Goodness girl! I’m so glad you commented on my blog, because I am in love with your style! I love how bright and colorful this outfit is, and you are absolutely gorgeous! Following back on Bloglovin’
That sounds like a wonderful wedding in the making
I hope you have fun.
And this outfit is fabulous! I usually do floral on bottom, stripes on top, but this is adorable. Great witty title, too.
