The ghost chairs, the ruffle ombre table skirt, the pretty fabric on the chairs, the candles.

So chic, classy and feminine.

LOVE this look. 

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!!!

~The Sweetheart Table: I'm a fan!~

What is sweeter than having a small table with JUST the bride and the groom to share their special moments together?

I've had a few of my brides choose this for their reception seating.

Another way to add some personalized decor and fun touches to a wedding, YES!

I'm a fan!

SUPER simple and chic and cute.

I'm so making these for a future inspiration shoot and will share photos.

Picturing this with silver or gold shimmer paint.

You like?!

To the brides:

If you need to make any crafts for your wedding or wedding decor, I'm a huge fan of letting your girls help! They WANT to trust me! Most girl's love getting together, love to help, and love weddings.  Ease your load and plan a girl's craft night with some vino.

I've done several girl's craft nights with my brides and their girls to hack out their weddings.  SO FUN AND saves a ton of moolah.

~Ombre Elegance~

I've seen some fun pink ombre patterns for weddings, but check this out!

(found on Grey Like Weddings)

That cake is divine!

I have to admit I am a huge color lover, but this is just simple and pretty.

I have to realize not all of my brides will be into bright colors, so here is a great example of fun, ruffly, girly yet classy.

Another shot from this photoshoot that I love:

How fun is that frilly chair cover?! Ooooooh love.

Are you a color fan, or do you like simple elegance?

~Recent Wedding Love: Long Banquet Reception Tables~

(via Style me Pretty)

(Via United with Love)

I am helping one of my besties decorate her reception.  The venue has long rectangle tables, so we are so doing this! LOVE it!

The closer proximity to others creates more interaction, and a more relaxed setting.

I can't wait to make table runners, and have a ton of fun silver candles holders, flowers with vases, and wine bottles down the middle of the tables.

Have you been to a wedding with banquet seating?

What do you think?

Enjoy your weekend my blogettes!

I hope you all have something fun planned :-)

~Details I Love: Pintuck Linens~

I've been attracted to this textured gorgeous fabric lately.

Pintuck

"Parallel folds of fabric stitched on the outside or inside of a garment; called pin tucks when many tucks are used close together within a narrow fold. On the outside, pintucks may be considered as ornamentation, in addition to being a means to manipulate fullness in the garment."

Lighting will illuminate the textures even more. 

If you have candles or beautiful lamps at the table, it will look even more elegant!

Priced just slightly more than the normal satin choice,

it's worth the extra couple dollars per table to add more class and texture.
