Slightly Vintage

I’m a big fan of using retro and vintage inspiration for event design (plus you can find a lot of decor at flea markets or eBay for very reasonable prices).

I love the simple tile runner of this table with bowls of floating flowers. It looks so effortlessly chic.

I love the 60′s style of this bride.

I love these bridesmaids dresses– slightly 60′s and very practical. I’d wear this dress again!

A polka-dot tea length dress? Too cute.

I love how the bright 60′s colored flowers pop against the color of the bike.

Just Green

Green is my favorite color and poped aganist a white background, the effect is just so pretty and modern.

I love the texture and layering of this all green centerpiece.

I love this organic arrangement of the moss and succulents. This would be so pretty down an aisle or around the base of the wedding cake especially if candles were tucked in to the moss.

Flag It

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love subtle themes that can be used in a couple different ways and flags are another way to add style to your wedding without breaking the bank.

For a destination wedding, using country flags for seating cards would be so cute.

Or overhead, to add color and movement to your wedding design.

These little flags could be used to garnish your signature drink. Too cute!
