Ever since we started planning, I have been collecting photos for inspiration and I thought I would share a few with you. This one has the same feel that I am hoping for - light, airy, elegant but not stuffy. I really like the idea of using a lot of white with a few notable color accents. The one thing I decided after looking through photos is that we are definitely going with rented china. Sure, it's a lodge and a beach ceremony and we COULD get away with paper - but really, that just looks so tacky!

I am also looking at different chair rentals. I would love to find some like the ones in the photo, but so far, the nicest ones we have found are white. The tent rental company does have chairs as well, but they are not all that nice. Definitely something we have to explore further.

I hope you find some of that inspirational:) I am sure I will have plenty more in the next few months.
