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.

We were thrilled to have been apart this recent Winter Wonderland Wedding style shoot that was filled with gorgeous accents and beautiful designs at the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. With the help of Wedding 101, this wedding pulled off the rustic chic – meets – glamorous style beautifully, and the linens and coverings were able to add a touch of vintage class to the event as well.  And with chilly temps outside, this stylish take on winter wedding decor will warm you right up!

The images below showcase the blending of these different style – glamorous and rustic – The white, blue and silver hues created a magical wintry feel when combined with the romantic candles, hydrangeas and table settings, while the rustic inspired decor on the outdoor tables made for a vintage chic style.  You can see more images from our feature on Love and Lavender’s Blog.
