Unique table settings

I realize these may not be the most practical for wedding table settings, but how great would it be if they actually could be?

Color Inspo: Mint-astic

Mint has made it’s way back from hibernation (and the 80′s), with a big bang! The color combinations can be both soft and dramatic depending on the combination… you pick and choose!

Living in ombre

One of the themes I considered for my 2010 wedding was “all things ombré”. I wanted to apply the shaded technique to tablecloths, runners, napkins, clothing, ties…you name it, I wanted to ombre it. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find a number of beautiful applications in a variety of bridal settings and these are a few of my favorites. – Brittany Watson Jepson

The New Modern: Garden Tablescape

Yes, we are still bundled in our winter clothes and it seems hard to imagine but spring is on the way. To help usher it in we created a garden tabletop inspired design. March is a great time of year to refresh your house plants. I know I am always wanting to get my hands full of soil around now. So I grabbed some bulb plants, ferns, moss and baby tears and arranged in clear glass and terra cotta. I like the idea of combining centerpieces with finger foods and condiments, making one harmonious tablescape. Simple linen napkins add some refined texture.. I had a garden postcard hanging around so we used it as a table number. Regular seed packets from your local  hardware store or garden center would work just as nicely. Oh spring, you can not come soon enough! Enjoy – Denise

Design Inspo: Lace

Lace is no longer a thing of the past. The beautiful material lends itself to taking on modern forms as well as the delicate. I just love the way that, by being naturally holey, it can take on a sense of depth and create interesting shadows by playing with light. Imagine a beautiful wall of lace (like this fence by Demakersvan) as a backdrop in front of colored lights. The shadows would add so much depth to any experience.
