Placemat Details

Categories: Decor, Details, Wedding Design August 6, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

Instead of a classic linen on it’s own, I love the idea of using placemats as a fresh detail. Whether for a bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception, a unique place setting can add innovative style to your event!

Happy, sunny Friday! Last weekend I was home and saw lovely sunflowers blooming in my mom’s garden – what a fun summer wedding detail!

Sunflowers are rustic and cheerful, hopeful and bright, classic and country – the perfect accessory to tabletops, bouquets, or desserts…

Vintage Wedding Inspiration

Categories: Decor, Details, Idea Boards June 25, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

Whether to play tribute to a certain era that you love from the past, to include family heirlooms, or simply watch your pennies, vintage just may be the perfect motif for your wedding!

There are several vintage themes from which to choose – and if you follow wedding trends, you have most likely seen one of these “vintage looks” recently. Here at District Weddings, I love “eclectic vintage” (think plenty of flea-market finds and mismatched vintage furniture, accessories, and décor), “glamorous vintage” (think 1920s with vintage cocktails and elbow-length gloves), or “heirloom vintage” (using true, meaningful vintage finds from the attic of your own home).

For eclectic vintage, I adore using mismatched antique chairs for seating, old jars or glass bottles for flowers, a bird cage on display, or maybe even a vintage scarf for decoration…

Ashley from the Chic Line has pulled these incredible images of dessert buffets – and I have to admit, I am still not tired of these tasty, stylish displays….

Dessert buffet have been so popular over the last few years. Amy Atlas is probably the best known stylist of these fantastic displays, where she leaves nothing overlooked. Below are some beautiful images that can be used for inspiration. Whether you have a caterer or planner put together such a tablescape, or you do it yourself with grocery store and flea market finds, you can create a fun and interactive display for your guests!

Heavenly Wedding Dress Details

Categories: Bride, Details May 21, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

It is Friday (woohoo!) which means today we focus on the details – my favorite! Ashley from the Chic Line has pulled these incredible images of gowns – so heavenly….

I am loving all the different silhouettes and details of wedding dresses these days. Vera Wang and Watters and Watters are just two designers that I count on for endless offerings of beautiful, design-statement pieces. The luxurious fabrics, raw edges and ruffles of Vera’s collection allow it to stand out from the competition (as always, right?)

I love the Watters gowns because of their diversity in shape and style. From sleek and simple to full and adorned, their collection offers a variety of styles for every taste and budget.
