Inspired By: Gold Leaves

Whoever thought of spray painting leaves gold was a genius...and it is one of our very favorite things to do when needing a hint of metallic at your table. It adds the perfect touch of elegance, especially for winter. We highly suggest this trick for your Holiday decor and it adds great shine for New Years as well! We always love the girls over at 100 Layer Cake and they recently posted a DIY tutorial for a golden magnolia wreath by Danielle from Brown Paper Design that we can't get enough of. The golden wreath paired with a gorgeous centerpiece like the one above is sure to have all your guests in awe!

Bitten and Smitten

Now that autumn has fallen upon us we are getting anxious for the smell of spice and the carving of pumpkins. Summer was fun, but those cool nights snuggling up to loved ones could not make us feel more loved. As we begin to plan our fall festivities we are reminded of our twilight and sleepy hollow inspired wedding. What great inspiration for a fall party that wants to stray from the tradition "trick or treat" and instead highlight romance.

How do you create this look?
Use a color scheme of ice blue, ivory, rich chestnut, blood orange, and touches of burlap to complete the autumn feel. Create arrangements of differently sized and colored pumpkins. Eerie quotes and sayings can be displayed in frames or can be written on chalkboards. As favors treat guests to California poppy seeds and include a scroll with instructions on how to bury their seeds. Add garlic and holy water to create those vampire touches.
