Pretty enough for a dinner party!


Isn't this wedding decor just divine. I adore the stunning use of flowers, the parasols  as well as the lovely lanterns.

I think what appealed to me about this styling is it's simple yet effective approach and you don't need a wedding as a reason to create such a beautiful look. Personally, i would be happy to create something pretty like this for a birthday or dinner party with the girls.

I came across this lovely work through the gorgeous Wanderings of a Wannabe. It's a darling blog with lots of personality!! 

Enjoy. xx







Gorgeous styling by this stylist, and photographs from here. x

    This is my philosophy as well Kellie! All of these beautiful event styles shouldn't be thought of as being just exclusive to weddings. I would be really excited if I went to a friends party and they had used just a few of these elements to add a little something extra to their occasion. Great post!

    Wow I'm really loving colour. It seems to be perfect for summer weddings. The styling is so beautiful and I adore the parasols. They look like those drink umbrellas.
    This would be lovely for a girly party.

    Love this and the parasols are great! I adore the floral perfection too- fun to see the parasols pick up those colors. And of course the pink shoes!
