This summer pastels are everywhere and I am not shy about boasting my love for them.

They are feminine and pretty, just the sight of pastels makes me feel sublime!

I am so into the look that they create on relaxed tablescapes too.

Makes me want so excited for the summer weddings that I am attending.
