Mixed Up Mod

I love mixing the old with the new, like personal family collections mixed with wedding rentals. There are no rules! Here are some ideas:
  • A raw urban loft dressed with formal silk bengaline linens
  • Classic chiavari bamboo chairs done in clear acrylic a la the iconic Ghost Chair
  • Modern massed monofloral designs in reproduction period silver footed urns
Trend Tip
Rent or borrow unique centerpiece and tabletop accessories (custom linens, varied candlesticks, silver trays) to use as grouped visual collections on various tables—the focal point table and place card table, bars, guest dining tables, sweetheart table, petite sweets station and more. Not only does it make the beloved d??cor elements personal and meaningful, but it also helps stretch the d??cor budget.
