I know its only Thursday, but I’m so excited for a non-working weekend that I’m already plotting an al fresco dinner party.

A farmhouse table setup under a tree? Perfection.

Linen tablecloth? Benches? An adorable puppy head? The countryside? Yes, please!

Layers of pink, ethereal feathers, hand made into the perfect haute couture hat? Sign me up!

And for a daytime look, an equally fabulous nude hat and matching dress.

A hat plus over-sized purple flower detail? Too lovely! Oh, if only big fabulous hats were still apart of everyday fashion…

To me this Alexis Bittar bangle is timeless, and would be perfect for the elegant & whimsical wedding by the beach. The gray lucite bangle mixes Swarovski peach colored crystals with hand-cut Austrian crystal fruit surround by 18k gold & rose gold plated vines. Stunning! And the best part? Once it’s graced your wrist on perhaps the most elegant day of your life, it can reappear day-in and day-out with almost every outfit; jeans & a white-tee, your favorite LBD, & a white-hued formal gowns all compliment this simple yet gorgeous piece of jewelry. Get yours here, and be sure to visit StellinaStellina later today for a peach/grey, beach themed inspiration board to match!

For the groom, I choose a light tan suit from Mission Tuxedo. A simple blue tie completed his look.

For his boutonniere, I used a  white ranunculus with three muscari as an accent and all wrapped in a light blue ribbon.
