Tall centerpieces!

It's always nice to do a mix of heights for your centerpieces, so here are some lovely tall ones to give you some ideas!


A more natural looking rose arrangement. Side note- do you see that amazing red rose structure around entry doors?! fabulous!!!


Gorgeous draping arrangement that is oh so chic.


The unique vase really adds to this centerpiece. Love the extra touch of adding petals on the table inside the bottom of vase.


Sometimes all you need is some grand greenery to make a big statement!


Ok so this doesn't really have flowers but i think this is an amazing contemporary centerpiece!


Pretty in pink with the touches of curly willow at the top and in the vase really finish it off.

Stepping back in time

Sorry for the lack of posts recently! To make up for it I have a lot of pictures for you today. It's always fun to look at old wedding pictures and see the different styles- so I came across this great site www.fashion-era.com/weddings that is full of amazing old wedding photos.
