Chandeliers

I'm currently OBSESSED with greenery right now, I just can't get enough of it.  So, to go along with my obsession I thought I'd do a blog post showing you my favorite chandeliers adorned with greenery.  Some have flowers and some are just greenery, either way I just love how effortless they are.  A few of the fresh floral chandeliers I've seen, although gorgeous, take it to a whole other level. Myself, I think simple and elegant is the way to go.  Not too much and not too little.

Garden wedding

One of this years big trends is Garden-inspired weddings.  Whether you use gorgeous garden roses, tons of greenery, or wild looking arrangements you are sure to capture this look and feel.  I put together a centerpiece that would look great at any garden wedding filled with beautiful purple lisianthus, hyacinth, stock, wax flower and tons of lush greenery.  This long centerpiece looks amazing on this rustic, wood table.

Adding a few candlesticks in the arrangement gives it extra romance

Rustic bouquets with tons of greenery

If you are having a rustic wedding a loose hand-tied bouquet is perfect for you!  Take a look at this bouquet of coral roses, scabiosa, queen anne's lace and tons of gorgeous greenery.  

Greenery as a centerpiece

One of the hottest trends are long tables with greenery lining the middle of the table.  It is so absolutely beautiful!  You can keep it simple or go all out with tons of greenery or tons of overflowing flowers (see my next post for that!).  

Going with greenery as your centerpiece is beautiful in and of itself, but to really make a statement candles go a long way.  Whether you use pillar candles or votives its all about creating that glow.

I decided to do three variations on the idea.  One has only greenery, the other has a hint of flowers and the third is greenery with flowers.  Which do you like best?

A different take on hydrangeas

I've gotta say hydrangeas are so beautiful and simple and depending on what you do with them you can create a completely different vibe.  This time I got some gorgeous pale blue hydrangeas and decided to pair them with a wooden box to create a rustic, country feel.  I love it.

Then, I decided I should dress them up a bit for a more traditional vibe.  Here they are paired with genestra branches which really help create a dramatic centerpiece.  These are a great alternative to other branches and I love the small, delicate flowers on them.  

Baby's breath taken to a new level

I saw this photo on Pinterest the other day and I fell in love.  What a beautiful way to dress up a wedding with simple baby's breath.  The balls create drama on a budget.  Now if only I can find a bride to love it as much as me!
