Happy first day of summer!  It’s hard to believe my favorite time of the year is officially upon us, but I’m certainly not complaining.  In honor of the season change, I’m talking pinwheels today!  If you’re holding a summer wedding, incorporating a few of these fun, nostalgic summer signifiers is sure to please guests of all ages.  And for all you true paper lovers out there, it’s a great excuse to bring paper elements into so many more day-of items.  Not only can you have pinwheel place cards and table numbers, but they make great boutonnieres, cake toppers and oh so much more, too! — Kelly
