Last week I was putting in some long overdue Pinterest hours, when I came across this beautiful shot of ripe berries artfully arranged in crisp white cones, and I suddenly got the feeling. You know the one… when all your past summer memories come flooding in and you get butterflies thinking about all the outdoor fun in store? I spent the following couple days in a frenzy of pinning inspiration for a classic Memorial Day get together that’s both patriotic and the perfect kick-off to summer (repeatedly referring back to this inspiration board that Camille put together last year). Follow the jump for a glimpse at some of the inspirational images I found, and we’d love to hear what trends are hot on your Pinterest boards this time of year.

These photos are gorgeous and so summer-inspiring! Thank you for sharing!!
Man all of these pictures makes me want summer! It’s such a great time of year. Those berries totally give me nostalgia too!
Absolutely love these images that are unequivocally “summer.” Makes my season taste buds start to water…
First of all, I love your blog and have been reading for a few months. It’s now a staple on my Google reader!
I giggled out loud when I scrolled down and spotted my engagement photos! That is my goofy husband doing the cannonball
Love it!
Cheers,
Kelsey
How funny, Kelsey!! We’re so glad to have you as a reader & LOVE your engagement photos! Thanks for the fabulous summer inspiration
I enjoyed the photo’s very much.
where should I look for the paper to make the cones for the blueberries and strawberries?
Plain old parchment paper from the grocery should work fabulously!
I love all of these!
