STYLE + PLANNING
SUMMER posh palm springs
West Coast is the best coast—at least when it comes to summer wedding palettes. For a bright and cheery warm-weather bash, look no further than the citrus-inspired shades of colorful Palm Springs. A range of orange, yellow and fuchsia will practically create the party atmosphere for you—plus they’ll all pop amazingly in your photos. HOW TO USE IT When you’re going this bright with your palette, more is more. Look to create photo-ready installations, like paper lanterns or a standout floral wall that doubles as a photo booth backdrop. You can also have some cheeky fun with oranges in this palette by incorporating the real-deal fruit into your decor. Think: blood oranges slices used as a table runner, clementines in your salad appetizer and even orange-blossom buttercream on your cake.

Christina Padavano is the owner and designer behind Pinch Me Planning, serving couples in New England with a focus on making their personalized visions a reality.
If wedding planning is going to be a process that puts stress on you, your family or your relationship, hire a planner and trust them to do what they do best. This should be fun!
I always tell my couples that there are “musthaves” and “nice-tohaves.” You need a venue, so start there. And don’t forget—your budget is affected by guest count.
To personalize your day, pull details from your love story. Did you adopt a dog? Name your signature cocktail after your pup! You want guests to walk in and say “This is so them.”
One of my favorite trends is grazing boards: They are becoming must-haves for menus. Between charcuterie boards and epic dessert spreads, guests can satisfy every craving.
