Is it just us, or did this year vanish before our eyes?! We can’t believe we’re already wrapping up 2017 and anticipating the countdown to midnight! There have been so many wonderful moments, beautiful celebrations, and incredible talent that we’ve had the opportunity to feature over the past year- and not to mention the big changes the whole ELD Team has experienced in our personal lives. We’re excited to welcome 2018 with open arms, but before we do, we have a stunning New Year’s Eve wedding to inspire us as we prepare to ring in the new year ourselves!

Wes and Cassie’s California wedding day was filled with gorgeous details and a clock countdown theme as they prepared to ring in the New Year with family and friends as they celebrated the start of their marriage. Velvet linens in a deep midnight blue from La Tavola paired with monochromatic florals by The Idea Emporium added elegant focal points to each table. Adorning the tables were clocks marking the countdown to the New Year around the world used as table numbers, and party hats and noise makers for guests to ring in the new year. Every detail added a fun celebratory punch to this wedding style, and we absolutely love it!

Enjoy this elegant New Year’s Eve celebration captured so beautifully by TréCreative Film&Photo! We can’t wait to continue to celebrate with each one of you in 2018!

What was your vision/style/theme/color for the day?

Dark blue, golds, silvers. Classy black and white for the groomsmen and bridesmaids. Overall, we wanted a swanky New Years Eve Look!

Describe the ceremony and what made it special.

Wes and I are non-traditional in that we wanted to walk down to Mumford and Sons! The bridal party walked down to “Not with Haste” and the Bride walked down to “I Will Wait”. The songs just made us feel happy and that is what mattered to us. We had our good friend and mentor, Sean Morgan (Mayor of Chico) officiate the ceremony and we did an Irish Blessing during the ceremony and stuck to the traditional vows.

What advice do you have for brides planning their wedding?

Don’t get wrapped up in every little details because it can be overwhelming. Focus on the main reason you are there, to marry the one you love. Enjoy the day and just have fun. If the bride and groom are enjoying themselves there is a good chance everyone else is as well.

We’re a sucker for beautiful and creative details, but we love the advice from this bride. Details are just details if they meaning of the day is lost. Focus on the reason behind the celebration, and allow the rest to fall into place.

A perfect day for a Virginia vineyard wedding at Crosskeys Vineyard began with sunny blue skies and ended with an evening of dancing under the stars. Sarah and Ryan’s elegant celebration was full of joy and romance as they danced the night away with family and friends.

With the guiding hand of their event planner, Orpha Events, and exceptional details like bold pops of color in the beautiful floral designs from Amanda Burnette and cozy lounges from Paisley & Jade, we love how their wedding day style came to life. Peaches, pinks, corals, and reds created a bold color palette that added a stunning splash in their design.

We hope you enjoy the colorful details that were created as you check out the images captured by Kim Stockwell Photography from this lovely wedding day.

Tell us a little a bit about your wedding (your vision, color, style, and location choices).

I wanted everyone to have a good time. Our wedding planner, Marisa with Orpha Events, did a wonderful job taking our personalities and using that to create a wonderful evening.

What was the most important to the two of you while planning? Was there anything that you chose to splurge on or skip?

The most important thing was that our friends and family have a good time. We splurged on the live band and absolutely loved them – The Real Geniuses.

What were your favorite parts of the day?

I loved dancing with everyone under the stars.

What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?

I had wonderful help and support from family members and my wedding planner, Marisa.

Do you have any advice for couples planning their weddings now?

The night goes by so fast! Take time to be together during the evening.

The fleeting moments of your wedding day surely do pass quicker than you can ever imagine, and we love these words of advice from this sweet bride. Take the time to soak in these moments as they will be gone before you know it.

Drawing inspiration from familiar imagery of Christmas spanning the 1940s-1960s, Jennifer from Feather + Oak incorporated period holiday themed decor to create a fun and festive Christmas cocktail party.

We are in love with the emerald green velvet lounge style from Please Be Seated, creating a cozy place for guests to gather and chat throughout the evening. Greenery garlands from Kennedy Occasions adorned with festive vintage ornaments created the perfect accent to round out the vintage inspired cocktail party style.

With the work and coordination from Locklane Events and beautiful imagery from Courtney Davidson, we hope you find inspiration for your upcoming holiday festivities.

We love that their treat game was on point for this gathering of friends. Add in beautiful Christmas cookies from KCG Cookies, mini doughnuts from Ellie’s Old Fashioned Doughnuts, and, of course, festive cocktails created by J. Jackson Mobile Mixologist and their party was a sure success.

We have reached our finale for our 12 Days of Christmas Tabletops series as we present A Partridge in a Pear Tree! We’ve so enjoyed celebrating with you each day with a unique table design to help inspire your holiday tables as we counted down to Christmas Day. With elegant designs, colorful tables, and rustic styles, we’ve covered a range of looks that can be translated throughout the year. Now, without further ado…

An elegant holiday look was a classic choice for this final tabletop style captured so beautifully by Jenna Nicole Photography. Bright red roses clustered in gold containers, and surrounded with candlelight, we love the classy and timeless feel of this design. With beautiful blooms and styling from Ashton Events and the perfect pairing of tabletop pieces from the Treasury Rentals collection, we are excited to share the details from behind this final design.

Laura from Ashton Events:

“Timeless classics with beautiful details was the perfect way to end this series. Warm gold tones, feminine textures, elegant details, and bold red blooms made this style one of our favorites. A gold pear pinned with a name card was placed at each setting, which allowed us to achieve the theme for this final look.”

Emily from Treasury Rentals:

“We love the elegance that our final look took on, as we focused on gold details and timeless accents to create such a beautiful tablescape to inspire your holiday tables. Our Ella collection was a sure win in rounding out this look with the white and gold charger plate and dinner plate paired with a bold red napkin atop a beautiful linen from Nuage Designs, Inc.. Pairing the setting with a water goblet with a red stem, and a simple wine glass, we love the subtle pops that made this look extra special.”

That wraps up our Christmas Tabletop series, and we hope you found inspiration in each of the looks that you could incorporate during the holidays or something to inspire your next event.

Check out all 12 styles, and let us know which look was your favorite! We’d love to hear how you plan to pull inspiration from one of our 12 Days of Christmas Tabletops looks.
