An Elegant Artful Affair Classic Wedding Ideas

The elegance of the Biedermeier period inspires a classic celebration.

Fruits and fiddlehead ferns, as well as peonies and ranunculus, give a touch of nature's wildness to offset the bold, symmetrical design of a Biedermeier chest.

Complementary and contrasting patterns in the linens, flatware, china and crystal create a rich, one-of-a-kind look. Antique fine china, Empire candlestick and custom silk tablecloth with pearl embroidery.

The cake's decorations give a nod to the neoclassical influence on Empire style. From left: Lattice server, wineglasses, antique Empire candelabra, candlestick, pedestal and compote dish.

Dessert gets a bit of French flavor, thanks to dishes brimming with petits fours and macaroons. From left: Antique black compote by Wedgwood, lattice server and antique dessert plate.

Lush, loosely bound Parrot tulips, ranunculus, white scabiosa, passion flower vine, tuberose, fiddlehead ferns, scented geranium leaves and garden roses look as if they could have been plucked from the Tuileries.

Sparkly Soiree Shimmer Ultrachic Reception Wedding Ideas

From shiny surfaces to subtle sequin accents, everything shimmers in this ultrachic reception.

A posh, polished version of every little girl’s childhood wedding fantasy—that’s what we set out to achieve with Meredith Waga-Perez, floral and event designer and owner of NYC’s Belle Fleur. A Manhattan loft with floor-to-ceiling windows, aptly named The Glasshouses, provided the perfect canvas for our concept: playing the reflective qualities of different transparent surfaces—crystal, rhinestones, even ice—against one another for a glittering gala. The entry table displays three very cool (literally!) vases, hand-carved by Okamoto Studio Ice Sculpture, holding harmony calla lilies, Phalaenopsis orchids, peonies and garden roses.

Colorful Inspiration Wedding Flower Ideas

Inspired by Chinese lanterns, these orbs are actually glass bubble bowls wrapped in lily grass and grape muscari.

One fab floor arrangement: A blue-tinged bow of tillandsia medusa ties together this giant bouquet of viburnum, brassia rex orchids, and bear grass.

Consider putting a personal posy of steel grass–tied tweedia at each place setting.

When serving lemony punch, brighten up the table with a green magnolia wreath, then surround the bowl with Aalsmeer gold, flair spray, and garden roses.

A yellow-washed window box planted with tête-à-tête daffodils and maidenhair fern is ideal for a long feasting table
