The holiday season is just around the corner, so of course we’re obsessing over seasonal trends! If you’re planning a holiday party or a winter-themed wedding it can be tough to decide how to decorate without being too cliché. We once again find ourselves asking the all-important question of the holiday season: how to create a beautiful celebration setting without defaulting to the overused reds and greens? This year we’re seeing a lovely toward choosing between warm and cool tones. Rather than getting tied down to a color scheme, choosing a warm tone reminiscent of a twinkle-lit tree or cozy fireplace, or a cool tone reminiscent of a starry winter’s night, does a lot more to capture the essence of the holiday season.
Whether you’re choosing a warm or cool tone, the common denominator is the same: lots of whites, neutrals, and metallics, with a festive splash of color. The design is in the details – choosing which chargers, glassware, and linens you prefer go a long way toward achieving the right look.
Remember this fun winter wonderland wedding styleshoot from last season? Indoors it was all cool tones, with our mercury glass and silver linens taking center stage to create an icy elegance.
Outside it was cheery tones, with our farm tables and coral linens to warm up the coldest noses.
This Narnia-styled shoot we did last year is another great example of a cool-toned winter wedding. Our Belmont chargers, the ssorted mercury glass, and silver candelabras contrasted beautifully with our farm tables and espresso-colored linens, creating a beautiful and cool rustic winter scene.
