I love the perfect blue found in traditional blue and white china, and that, along with the blue-edged hydrangea in this centerpiece from Martha, inspired today’s wedding board. Bring in calligraphy, candlesticks, and a stunning number by Reem Acra, and it’s utterly classic and totally gorgeous. Everything you need for something old, something new, and something blue – now what to borrow?
Mood: classically romantic, something blue

very romantic shades of blue!
So understatedly sophisticated…I love the all-white dessert display and the subtle blue floral motif throughout. The entire look is classic and gorgeous!
That's the exact style of the wedding I shot this past weekend in Charleston!
I look forward to showing it to you.

i ADORE this shade of blue. love this inspiration board.

Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous! Everything used in my favorite MS picture is perfect, and everything you used in the inspiration board furthers that perfection.
I love the combination of blue and white color. It looks so pure and gentle. Love designs and everything, from big to single details.
This is beautiful, Kathryn. I never get tired of blue and white. I love the idea of small angel food cakes too…great idea for a birthday party I'm planning. Thanks!
