Citrus Crush ... Flowers in a bowl

Fun in a bowl! Fill a fishbowl with miniature citrus fruits and top it off with a bouquet.

Citrus Crush ... Pretty Outdoor Setting

Love, love, love this setup for a chic outdoor wedding. Hanging little jars filled with sprigs of flowers amongst small flower pomanders adds such wonderful visuals and scent. Complete the seemingly floating decor with a chandelier, divine! A display of flowers on a log lies low on the long table, and complements the jars and pomanders hanging from the ceiling. The decor comes together so well, I can imagine the exact look for a cosy dining area at home.

Citrus Crush ... Simple chic centerpieces

Simple and neat, small scattered arrangements can add a homey touch to the decor. I love the use of white and yellow ceramic vases to hold the arrangements, it really brings out the colours of the flowers. Use wooden planter boxes if you want a more rustic vibe.

Citrus Crush ... Lush Centerpiece

Lush centerpiece take center stage when set against an all white background. Create visual impact by grouping each type of flower and displaying each in interesting vessels. Vary the height of the arrangement, and introduce textures and shades for drama.

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Just a little DIY

For many of us, cherry blossoms are not readily available, even the faux ones are hard to come by sometimes, so crafting tiny blossoms resembling the delicate flower is a great budget friendly way to create decor for the theme. This great DIY from Martha Stewart Weddings is easy, and you can create a similar arrangement for the table centerpiece. You can purchase ready-made cherry blossom confetti, or cherry blossom paper punches and create the tiny blooms in shades of pink. Have fun crafting!

Cherry Blossom Joy ... Centerpiece

Cherry blossoms branches look amazing arranged on their own in glass or white ceramic vases. It's simple and chic. If you are lucky and can get hold of lush flowering cherry blossom, arranging them in hurricane vases creates a grand and spectacular centerpiece. There are faux cherry blossom branches that you can purchase, especially around the Chinese New Year period, but be sure to select the good quality ones, those look surprisingly real, and you can reuse them as home decor after the wedding. If a tall arrangement is not your preference, go with a floral arrangement of big blooms, and pepper the centerpiece with small twigs of cherry blossoms.

Evening Pastels ... Try a little DIY decor

Decorating a venue may sound like a mammoth task, but there are some simple tricks that can instantly dress up the place without you having to break a nail or leave a gaping hole in your pocket. 
Paper lanterns are wonderful double duty props, they create pretty visuals and provide soft lighting. Instead of just choosing solid colored lanterns, throw a mix of solids and patterns. I love the use of fabric garlands for outdoor decoration. The fabric strips gently fluttering in the wind is such a beautiful sight to behold. Don't limit those pretty hanging globes to the christmas trees, they are lovely stacked in pyramids and displayed in pedestal glass bowls. Try these, and be totally bowled over.

Winter White ... Single blooms

This makes such a visually stunning tables cape. I love that there are no big lush arrangements, just single blooms each displayed in beautiful glass and ceramic vases. The vessels holding the blooms are just as captivating as the arrangements.

Winter White ... Centerpiece

Setting out to create a centerpiece that consists of only monochromatic colors can seem boring, but think of the varied textures that can be introduced, and you may get a bit light-headed. It can be a simple arrangement of big showy flowers or a mix of small hi-lo arrangements. It can be the use of chiffon or tulle draped across the room or lace table runners lining the tables. Having an array of patterns create a sense of dimension to a muted palette, that's calming yet interesting.

Bell Jar Displays

A really clever way of using bell jars to showcase a centerpiece. Display a small arrangement on a glass pedestal bowl and cap it with a bell jar, it's simple yet elegant. For stunning visuals when your guests enter the room, alternate the tables with the bell jar displays and tall centerpieces.

Go Green ... Centerpiece

Style Board: Go Green

I love the crispness of dark green and chartreuse against stark white, there's a huge sense of calm and airiness. Use succulents, airplants and fillers to create great centerpieces and bouquets for that refreshing change from flowers.
