From the metal-topped table to the wire baskets and architectural florals and containers, this Inspired Creations Contest concept is more downtown city glitter than feminine and girly, and I am utterly in love.  Studio28 Photo, The Stylish Soiree, Krista Jon, Archive Vintage Rentals and Ashley Zwar have created a modern, industrial take on glitz and glam with this peach, ivory, and black …

I just adore seeing the different ways that the Inspired Creations Contest teams interpret glitz and glam!  Today’s Portland, Oregon team of Fleur:ology, Diana Marie Photography, Paper Bloom and Le Cookie Monkey chose a color palette of deep pinks, purples, and warm metallics and created a positively amazing dessert display and tablescape spending only $90 on materials.  Yes, you read …

For brides that want to incorporate aqua or any other sort of turquoise shade of blue in their color palette, finding the right flowers can definitely be a challenge. Pink, purple, peach?

Modern and quirky, this organic and stylish tabletop created by Dani of Studio Fleurette is pure perfection!  Sleek white vases hold the craspedia, birch branches and orchids that anchor the centerpiece, while yarn-wrapped napkins echo the teal stitching on the beautiful burlap runner.  I love the look and feel of this tablescape and it’s a design that is easily updated …

The last vestiges of snow are finally melting away in Chicago, but that doesn’t mean that I’m tired of beautiful, snowy winter quite yet.  In fact, I’m literally over the moon for this elegant wintry tabletop, with cozy details like cable knit napkin rings and an Alençon lace table runner, and lush arrangements of ivory hydrangea, dusty miller, and anemones.  …
