Immediately smitten. That was me the moment I set my eyes on the beyond-gorgeous tabletops from this wedding on Style Me Pretty.

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 …
