Vintage American Classics theme: I love the idea of sticking with red and white as a color palette for a 4th of July wedding or party, possibly adding small accents of Navy or even light blue for some contrast. I don't know if I'll ever fall out of love with old Coca-Cola Bottles, the nostalgia […]
