Happy Monday, friends! It’s hard to believe that we’re in the final couple of days of summer, isn’t it? While I’m getting increasingly excited about all things fall, I couldn’t bid summer adieu without a proper farewell. I thought a little round up of a handful of my favorite summer celebration details would be a …
When I saw the pretty picnic wedding of Ashley from Ashley Brooke Designs on Elizabeth Anne Designs a couple of months ago, I instantly loved all of the sweet details Ashley designed. There was the cutest lemonade station and a big spread of food so guests could pack their own picnic boxes. Lawn games like …
