Vintage Garden Wedding

Written by Jeff, Posted in Helpful Tips

Vintage Garden Wedding

I absolutely love it when brides get creative with their wedding centerpieces. The right table decor seamlessly ties together the sincerity of the ceremony with the celebration atmosphere of the reception. My advice is to steer away from the standard decor options (mirrors, floating candles, crystals, etc.) and use your reception venue's atmosphere to help develop your theme ensuring your whole wedding has a consistent energy and feel.

It's also important to remember that some wedding centerpieces compliment a wedding theme while others are specifically meant to be a main, bold focal point of the day. Knowing the difference is key to setting the right atmosphere for your celebration.

This head table decor was definitely meant to be the main focus of the party. It was the first thing guest's saw as they walked into the reception. It really set the tone for a magical evening. It played off the stunning backdrop of the Bayer Estate which has a natural garden, vintage feel. Complimenting centerpieces were created for the remaining dining tables to carry the theme throughout the celebration.
