Bohemian Bridal Brunch

Teaming up with 'Cause We Can Events and Dish Wish again for what is one of our favorite shoots yet!

This week's theme was an inspired Bohemian bridal brunch, with lots of color, feathers, cute candle decor, and of course fabulous dishes. What I love about these dishes is you can rent them for whatever occasion you have, and you don't have to buy and store all these sets of china, someone else does it for you! That way you can entertain with so many different styles and be super creative, mixing and matching whichever pleases you.

For the flowers, I used bright colors of orange and bright pinks (pin cushion, orchids, blooming seeded eucalyptus, and a beautiful garden rose that had yellow centers lined with red fringe), contrasted with deep purple carnations and brown feathers, and it really helped the table pop.

For the vase, I repurposed a metalic lined candle holder--an eco-chic feature we always like to include in our designs in some way. And with a few extra blooms, I made a head piece for the bride--because who doesn't love wearing beautiful flowers.

The beautiful photos were taken by Alissa Noelle Photography.

Winter Whites For The Holidays

My favorite way to decorate for the holidays is playing up the all white theme. I'm always looking for new ways to decorate my home with anything white for the holidays be it on my mantle, my Christmas tree, candles, and table spreads. There is something so clean, crisp, but mostly modern and chic about it that some how could easily come off as stark if done poorly, but extremely warm and inviting if done well.

With the collaboration of Stylist, Gabby Norton of 'Cause We Can Events, photographer Jeannie Mutrais, dishes from Dish Wish Events, and myself with flowers from Brie's Honeybees & Flowers, we put together some ideas for the holidays coming up that are white, chic, and a bit modern, but I think very inviting.
