Going Back Home - Korcula Inspired Wedding

I went back home for three weeks in July. It felt amazing. It always feels good to be home, to be surrounded by lifelong friends and family members. It is such a wonderful feeling running into someone you are related to on the street; I don't get to experience that in Canada.

The island of Korcula is a magical place. White stone houses, red rooftops, cobble streets, and aqua blue seas. I always dreamed of getting married here. Everyone has their own place under the sun and this is mine. Below are a couple pictures from the island and some ideas on how to incorporate colors/textures that Korcula inspires in my imagination in your wedding decor (white, light blue/aqua, pinks, corals).

Wedding InspirationsPorcelain PearIf you've read my blog before you know that our family coat of arms consists of three pears. So I have to incorporate a pear here and there. I would use these as part of the table decor.

A real wedding feature on my favorite wedding blog. www.greenweddingshoes.blogspot.com really captures the vibrancy and color of pretty pink peonies.

I also love love this centrepiece by Dandelion Ranch. It blows my mind how beautiful, yet architectural, but at the same time free flowing the arrangement is. Love it!!!

My dear friend Maristela had her wedding a couple of years ago. Her wedding was actually on Korcula (the island I cannot stop talking about) and from the pictures it was a day filled with fun and dancing. My cousin Kristina was one of the bridesmaids. The girls looked absolutely stunning.
