Fleur de Letters Calligraphy Fiona Melder Photography

Calligraphy Invitations:  Nothing sets the tone for a party more than a calligraphy and watercolor invitation!  This beauty by Fleur de Letters is a great example of one that can be reproduced into invitations. Be sure to keep the original artwork for the bride-to-be! (photo by Fiona Melder)

Loose Tea:  Be sure to have a bevy of loose teas available for guests to customize flavors.  It’s a great conversation starter and works as a beautiful ‘tea bar’ display.  (photo by Fallon Chan)

Bulb Filled Vintage Napkin Favors:  One of the sweetest mementos for Spring and Summer bridal showers ever; placing a single bulb in a vintage napkin or handkerchief for favors.  Each guest will remember the party as they watch their flowers bloom!  Such a sweet idea from Victoria Hudgins at A Subtle Revelry and easy to DIY.

Table Top Tuesday 13

By Odalys Mendez

For installment thirteen of Table Top Tuesday,  we are inspired by these luminous film images from Odalys Mendez.  It’s a magical table top setting in the woods filled with pretty little details thanks to Kristine Cholakian, Holly Carlisle and Simply Charming Socials.

By Odalys Mendez

What makes this work? The serene setting with sun peeping through the trees draws the eye in.  Also, the light wood tables + chairs add a nice contrast to the greenery backdrop.

What details make a difference?  Sweet chair adornments like above, black candles in assorted brass candle sticks and the flower arrangements are definitely the highlight.  The use of berries and fruit add great texture to the tablescape.
