love the bold, modern color combination

I cannot resist a good wedding tablescape. I think my wedding detail rankings might go dress, location, couture tablescape, husband. My ranking system could possibly explain why that fourth detail is currently non-existant. Details.

These couture tablescapes by Sandra Downie Event Designs are stunning. She shows a sample ranging from bold and modern colors to classic layouts to shabby chic touches and I love them all. Decorating such a large event always comes down to the details. They may seem like the last thing you need to worry about but they’re also what turn a basic wedding venue into your own space. And Sandra seems to have figured out exactly how to do just that.

she does shabby chic too

And she’s located right here in New England with me - must be a sign that she should plan my next birthday party. A touch over the top and flawlessly styled - sound right up my alley.

Getting married this fall? Or next? This forest wedding inspiration board has some great elements for you to include in your autumn ceremony. The rich textures and evergreens can easily be carried into winter as well, just move some of the big elements (not the entire forest, we like to recycle here not kill the trees) indoors. And definitely string some lanterns even if you can’t hang it from tree branches. They’d be just as adorable resting on reception tables.

When planning an outdoor forest wedding, it’s important to combine your green color palette with the natural textures and elements from your ‘great outdoors’ venue. Since your environment adds most of the natural rugged details, be sure to include some elegant and classic elements in your decorations – this is a wedding after all. We’re looking for rustic refinement.

I also just love that melding of feminine and masculine. The rugged outdoor setting adds so many masculine details that you can easily insert feminine details without seeming like a girly wedding.

It’s all about balance. But I’d consider this overly feminine aisle because, I mean who wouldn’t.
