Vintage vs Contemporary


Getting married within the next few months?... you have probably chosen your colours, and changed them, a few dozen times by now.  around this time, you do need to make a decision.... the day has come.  It was inevitable.  You should be beginning to put together your decor plan around this time, depending on the date and location of your wedding.   The structural rentals need to be confirmed first - think furniture, tents, transportation.... does your venue have enough bathroom facilities (if you're getting married in a field, maybe not)?  does your caterer require commercial kitchen equipment (once again, in a field - the answer may be "yes", in a hotel banquet room - not so much). 
bUT ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR TABLES AND CHAIRS RENTED YOU GET TO DO THE FUN STUFF.  wHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PUT ON TOP OF IT?  lINENS, TABLE RUNNERS, CENTERPIECES, CANDLES, CANDLE HOLDERS, CANDLES AND MORE CANDLES, CHAIR COVERS, RIBBONS & BOWS.  tHE LIST GOES ON.  My personal favourite part - floral design.  If I could have it my way, every wedding would have fresh flowers cascading off every service, hanging from the ceiling and veining up the walls.  Ok, that might be over kill, but you get my point.  Your flowers and colours or theme go hand-in-hand.  Here are two of my favourites for the upcoming season!
