Dress it ... bride #2: Dreamy Ruffles

Column and fit-and-flare dresses are very wonderful for showcasing gentle ruffles. Their streamlined silhouette coupled with the volume of the ruffles make for a feminine and chic look. I love the fit-and flare look as an updated version of the trumpet silhouette.

Dress it ... Bride: Dreamy Ruffles

Ball gowns are the classic way of showcasing beautiful ruffles. It can be small intricate frills, or big graceful waves. A slim fitted top will balance the full skirt, and a neat chic hairstyle will ensure that the ensemble is not too busy.

Dreamy Ruffles ... Frilly blooms

Your go-to bloom for ruffly petals ... Carnations. They are frilly and come in a huge array of colours, the best thing is that they are budget friendly. Peonies, ranunculus and dahlias make a big impact with their luscious blooms, and lovely structure.

Style Board: Oriental Splendor

What can be more befitting as a focal point for an Oriental themed celebration than a peony? It is known as the flower of riches and honor. A greatly loved bloom in Chinese history, the peony symbolizes romance and happy marriage. I love its dramatic silhouette and beautiful shades of pink and red. I love an intricate peony motif printed on invites, napkins and favor boxes. Throw in some quintessential elements of Chinese culture: earthen teapots for serving fragrant Chinese tea, wooden chopsticks for favors, and clusters of paper lanterns to create a visual spectacle.

Cool white teamed with warm ivory, and infused with pale grey and blue, creates a wonderfully inviting palette. Given the muted colors, texture takes center stage. Lace and tulle, ruffles and spindly pines, they add amazing details to a winter white theme.
