What color do Millennials dream in? Apparently pink. From Rose Quartz to Blush, there are 50 shades of the perfect hue to fall in love with. And the best part? It plays well with others. So whether you go monochromatic or accent with pops of color, it sets just the right base. In the case of this styled shoot, shot gorgeously by Heather Waraksa, they went bold! Scroll through to see more…

Dreaming up a whimsical scene, Gabrielle Hurwitz styled this playful photoshoot full of bright balloons and modern acrylic accents. We’re head over heels for the Ipanema Press invitation suite, a collection of coral, pink and ochre yellow paper goods with sans serif font that would make any modern couple swoon. Oh and don’t skip over the stamps – an assortment of pop art florals and fashion graphics for those of us who are extra-detail oriented.

Amongst the fun, our Pink Velluto set the table in what might be our very own perfect shade of Millennial Pink. Much to our great pleasure, a playful arrangement from Pear Tree Flowers brought in shades of lavender and peach alongside lush greenery to bring the tablescape to life. Giving this just the shimmer it needed, tapered candles sat flickering in assorted candlestick holders, mirrored off of pink glassware.

The colorful scene really gave stunning Allure Bridals gowns space to shine. From chiffon to sequins, and the prettiest laces patterns around, they truly stole the show! Not to mention graphic floral print Manolo Blahniks that look like they were printed right from this delicious cake from Nine Cakes. Honestly, we’d eat them both!

When it comes to wedding color palettes, we love seeing bright hues introduced. Everything from colorful floral arrangements to festive morning-after brunches get us very excited. So, needless to say when this set of vibrant images from Styled Shoots Across America came our way, we were head over heels! Scroll through to see this bold blue and orange styled shoot…

Heather Benge Events took us to the Melrose Knitting Mill, in Raleigh, North Carolina for a warm and intimate inspirational wedding photoshoot. Magic hour lighting streaming in through oversized windows gave the loft-like space a dewy glow. Just look at how the exposed brick wall warms up with those ribbons of light!

In the center of the room, under sparkling crystal chandeliers, was the real show stopper. A tablescape set with our Cobalt Marrakesh brightened up the room with its bold ikat-inspired pattern. Intrigue Designs created the most unreal floral design to top it all off. We’re in love with the arrangement of orange, blue and deep red flowers that came together in such a vibrant way. Our Sky Western napkins tucked right around calligraphed menus from Chickadee Dixie adding a metallic touch to the delicately water-colored cards.

This lovely styled shoot brought together two of our favorite things – bright colors and bold patterns. Do you go all in on these? Find some more inspiration in our Solstice Collection!

Memorial Day is right around the corner and with it, the unofficial first day of Summer! And just in time to coincide with the rising temps comes this tropical inspired photoshoot from our stop at the Crystal Gardens in Chicago with Intrigue Teaches. From lush greenery to bright flowers, scroll through to find your inspiration for a hot party this season…

The Crystal Gardens, in Chicago’s Navy Pier, are a hidden gem tucked right in the heart of the city. Their beautiful greenery set inside a glass atrium gave views right onto Lake Michigan. A perfect summer getaway destination!

In the center of it all, Heather Benge Events designed a tropical-inspired tablescape with just the right balance of bold and neutral hues. Our Bone Brookline, a linen-inspired fabric, set the base for the bright decor. We’re obsessed with the floral arrangement from Intrigue Designs! Shades of coral and red with Anthuriums galore sat among Birds of Paradise and Monstera Palm Fronds. The perfect arrangement for a summer wedding with tropical flavor! We love how the flowers tied in with our Tropical Maui Napkins, giving the whole design a destination-friendly vibe.

And it doesn’t stop there! From the lining on Emery Ann Design’s envelopes to the decor on Chicago Custom Cakes’ delicious cake, everything had a hot twist. Add to that our Palm Springs linen and a boho-inspired backdrop, from Boho Blush, and you’ve got just the right place for a cake cutting.

With all this tropical inspiration on the brain, we’re thinking this is the summer to go all in on the tropics. We’re ready to pick up the heat, how about you?

You all know how much we LOVE South Florida…just last month we gushed over Key Largo and this beautiful event. But don’t get us wrong, we’re all about the north end of the state too. So let’s take a trip up to the state capital, Tallahassee, where Intrigue Teaches stopped off for a workshop and styled shoot earlier this year. Get ready for some majorly pretty inspiration…

We’re not exactly sure what to make of the Goodwood Museum and Gardens in Tallahasee, Florida except that it is stunning. From the beautiful grounds, lush with canopied trees, to the romantically rundown greenhouse, it’s the secret garden of our dreams. All that is before we even look at the house which counts not only the museum but also a covered porch that’s just the spot to enjoy an afternoon sunset.

Speaking of the porch, enjoy ourselves we did! Heather Benge Events, for Styled Shoots Across America, set up the sweetest table under the porch for newlyweds and friends to celebrate. The tabletop was set with our Yellow Papel Chino, a linen-inspired printed tablecloth that’s just perfect for the spring. Intrigue Designs paired it with a gorgeous arrangement of flowers in shades of white, yellow and just a hint of blush roses, really bringing to life a seasonal palette. We love how the colored glass rentals from John Gandy Events tied in with the florals making it all about the small details on this tabletop.

Lucky for us, Polished Arrow Photography captured every sweet moment for us to enjoy. From portraits in beautiful pink vintage chairs to more intimate moments shared under a delicate veil from Absolute Haven Bridal, this couple has us wanting to say “I Do” in North Florida!

If there’s one thing that can convince us to hit the road for a destination event, it’s sunny South Florida. From an elegant wedding at The Palms hotel to a perfect outdoor brunch at the W Hotel South Beach, there are a million reasons to head to the sunshine state for a celebration. Lucky for us, we’re adding one more amazing reason to travel south, thanks to this fun party from J GROUP Events.

Welcome to Playa Largo Resort, the Pearl of the Florida Keys. Nestled in Key Largo, it’s the perfect place to getaway from it all while still being a quick drive from Miami. Their expansive outdoor space sets a blank canvas for a party to come to life. Best of all, with the water right at your side, it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset (or the sunrise!).

For this party, J GROUP Events set the tables with linen-like fabrics in neutral colors accented by bright orange and crisp green centerpieces. We love how they combined our Ivory Laurel linens, a tone on tone embroidered style, with our Ivory Metallic Burlap linens, a linen-inspired fabric with metallic threading throughout. And those centerpieces? They feel so right for Florida! Arrangements of oranges potted in stoneware that mimicked the Ivory Laurel pattern were mixed in with smaller, delicate arrangements of lovely green and white flowers. A lovely mix that added a fresh feel to the night!

We’re so glad to have seen this stunning open air soiree, Goksun Photography captured all the details and the sunset so we didn’t have to miss a beat! If you loved this design and are feeling in the mood for more Floridian inspiration, check out this chic Miami soiree with a tropical twist, also from J GROUP Events!

The couple said “I Do,” (you wept with joy) then came dinner and obviously dessert, champagne and hours of dancing the night away. What a party! But does it have to end? We think not! Keep the spirit alive with one final celebration, the morning after brunch. Regardless of your wedding style, we think bringing in some color to brighten up your morning is key. Scroll through to see three looks we’re loving for a wedding brunch…

For the couple with modern style, we love our Ocean Watercolor Brush linen. It’s stripe pattern gives that nice uniform look while the soft edges, inspired by watercolor designs, are nice and calming. Cool shades of blue and green pair nicely with crisp whites and clear glass decor. We’re also absolutely in love with our Soho Chairs to give the look a sleek edge.

If they got married in a barn, opt for delicate prints like our Royal Delft. The blue paisley pattern calls back to the French countryside in a color palette reminiscent of toile. Pair it with our White Phoenix chair which nicely imitates the sweeping curves of the print. And for that just right pop of color, we love a touch of bright fuchsia flowers!

When the wedding reminded you of Morocco, go for our Cobalt Marrakesh. The ikat-inspired print comes in a bright blue that’ll take you back to the Blue City. Keep things boho-chic with our Natural Wood Verona Chair, our elevated take on a classic style. Bring in vintage glassware with beautiful designs and pair with even more shades of cobalt blue, we guarantee guests will feel transported!

If brunching even more often is your goal, check out our guide to dining al fresco. It’s a perfect primer for enjoying the outdoors this spring!

For Miami couples, it’s all about that beachside mentality. Places like Fisher Island and the W Hotel South Beach come to mind alongside another one of our loved spots, The Palms Hotel and Spa. Its convenient location off of Collins Ave makes it easy to get to and its enviable location right on the sand makes it just the place to be. This gorgeous real wedding from Masi Events will have you booking your stay in 3,2,1…

Just setting foot in the outdoor ceremony space was enough for us to say “I do!” Walking through delicately hung drapes down a petal-strewn aisle, the bride and groom said their vows at the most picture-perfect white gazebo. Add to that beautiful organic floral decor and set it against palm trees swaying in the wind and we can see why anyone would want to get married here.

From the ceremony, guests headed poolside for cocktails to kick off the celebration. From catching the breeze at a high top to taking a seat under the oversized tiki-hut, everyone was getting in the mood under twinkling string lights.

Once it was time for the reception, everyone made their way to a covered outdoor space where the tables dressed in shimmering shades of silver. Guests found their seats at our Silver Metallic Forest and Silver Emma linens while the newlyweds took their seat at a sweetheart table donning our Moonlight Magnolia. 

Lovely floral arrangements in assorted heights from Julia Rohde Designs adorned the tables with an incredible floral runner saved for the bride and groom’s table. We love how the palette of fresh greens and crisp whites gave the space a modern and inviting feel.

The look and feel of this celebration was just right for an intimate wedding in Miami! Lucky for us, Katie Lopez Photography was there to capture every sweet detail. Anyone else feeling inspired to book a trip to South Beach?

With just a week to go we’re looking for gifts and making reservations for Valentine’s Day. And while we love celebrating with our significant others (remember last year’s inspiration?), we’re also thinking Valentine’s Day is for more than just lovers! So this year how about adding in a time to celebrate with friends?

We fell head over heels for this brunch from The Creative’s Loft and think it’s just the way to celebrate the love of friendship! Scroll through to see all the yummy details…

First things first, the spread! With catering from The Blue Table and Thierry Isambert, the snacks were endless. Delicious cheese boards were set next to beautifully topped toast points and decorated with deep purple grapes and shot glasses of butternut soup. Plus the most adorable individual dessert cake from Earth and Sugar, just delicious!

Before sitting down to eat, how about a place to lounge? The Creatives Loft created a space just made for relaxing! Boho-inspired rentals from Unearthed Vintage set the mood with overlapping vintage rugs, leather poufs and the coziest arm chairs ever. A perfect place to have your mimosas!

We love the tablescape! An elegantly simple look, using our Rose Velluto, was set with blush hues accented by deep reds, lush greens and an accent of driftwood. Bringing in just the right touch of luxe, were tabletop rentals from Pialisa. Their assortment of blush and gold plates with gold flatware played so nicely with our Blush Ditsy Napkins and Poetic Blossom Napkins. Anchoring the table with a welcoming feel were our Sienna Chairs, a table set with love indeed.

We think you should bring in the love on Valentine’s Day as much as possible, with your significant others, your family and your friends. Spread the love!

While we may have been dreaming of a white Christmas just a few weeks ago, we’re always in the mood for a Cape Cod celebration to warm us up (at least in spirit). Add to that a Luke Wilson Events wedding, and let’s cue this lovely celebration at Chatham Bars Inn just in time to bring in some heat.

Kicking off the festivities was an outdoor cocktail party with a traditional maritime feel. Our Honeydew Palomino and Whisper Green Tuscany linens brought in some cool green neutrals to mix in with white lounge seating and blue and white striped couches. All the colors played so well to bring in that crisp nautical feel!

When we got to the reception, we were welcomed into a gorgeous setting tented by Sperry Tents. A neutral palette was set for the day with tables dressed in our Flax Metallic Burlap linens and runners alongside Ivory Western linens, all seated with wood cross back chairs. 

Just the perfect pop of color was brought in on the tabletop with delicate florals in bright coral and with fuchsia orchids cascading onto the table. We love how the napkin tied in to the design, playing off the floral palette with just the perfect gold detail cinching it together.

As guests got ready to dance the evening away, our Fire Metropolitan and Beige Chained linens were scattered around for cocktails and lounge seating lined the dance floor, decorated with our Raspberry Oxford, Orange Barboza, and Natural Western pillows.

As we took in the cool Cape Cod breeze and partied under the canopied tent, Brian Leahy Photography captured each detail and every laugh of the weekend. Cape Cod, with your sandy dunes and soft seas, we can’t wait to see you again!

Here we are, at the beginning of a brand new year! We loved saying goodbye to 2017 with a black-and-gold sequin celebration and are excited to get right down to business in 2018.

After all, you did like us 247,257 times and that makes us feel pretty great!

So, what were your favorite Instagram shots of 2017? Let’s explore some of the top liked posts and see how we can use your feedback to drive our new collections in 2018.

The most liked image from 2017 was this one featuring our Tangerine Zoie linen at the Intrigued Experience. The bright orange hues in this paired so nicely with vibrant purple blooms, we were absolutely in love too! And of course the table arrangement was something fun to look at too. In 2018 we’re thinking pairing bold colors together is set for a comeback!

This stunning table set on the Amalfi Coast was a real stunner! A dream brought to life by Marcy Blum and her incredible team. Our Gold Damask Organza Overlay added just the right touch of gold to this one. Maybe 2018 will be the year of more is more?

How about this for an all white wedding? This Diamond Affairs soiree nailed that look. Even though everything was dressed in white, our Preston Bailey Collection Off White Shimmer overlay added that touch of sparkle to make the tables twinkle. We’re definitely all in on that classic all white wedding palette.

Remember when we said we were going all in on bold colors? Well, looks like you are too because this was in our top ten for 2017. We’ve always been fans of combining orange and hot pink but this Table 10 Event Design party really takes the cake! So let’s keep on bringing in the bright colors in 2018, in particular we’re thinking orange and yellow for the year.

This color palette is just divine. From the creative mind of Rocket Science Events comes this beautifully romantic design (from a photoshoot lovingly dubbed #IndustrialBacon no less). We’re all about how the pink and red color palette was grounded by our Black Leather Dot Linen. For 2018 we’re thinking texture – lots of it in all different forms.A Do yourself a favor and scroll through all the images here to really fall in love!

We can’t get this head table out of our minds and apparently neither could you. And really who could blame you when Floral and Bloom Designs transformed the room with this amazing hanging installation? We love how it floated right over our Sultry Beige Anita runner, elongating the table even more. Runners definitely have their perfect place in our hearts for 2018!

Anna Lucia Events absolutely blew this one out of the water (pun intended!). If we could we’d take all of our dinners at this incredible table, set right on the beautiful coast of Naples, FL. We’re completely obsessed with the monochromatic nude color palette, pairing our Blush Plaster linen with our Maison Dining Chairs. We’re guessing these pretty shades of neutral are sticking around in 2018!

Rounding out your favorites of 2017 was this sneak peek shot into our 2017 collection! We love giving you a look behind our design process so in 2018 we’d love to hear what you want to see. Make sure to stay tuned on Instagram and drop us your comments!
