When it comes to finding color palette inspiration, some of our favorite sources are the reception table decor couples use for their weddings! A tablescape is usually where all of the colors of the wedding come together into one beautiful design. From muted palettes of rose gold, blush, and tan to dramatic palettes of navy, silver and black, we’ve found reception table decor color palettes to inspire any vibe or style.
Jen and Will wanted their weekend-long Camp Wandawega wedding to be full of friends and family, outdoor activities, and relaxed vibes. The charming campsite was decorated with elegant details like candles, festoon lighting, and colorful flowers that invited the guests to explore their quirky and unique venue in the woods. Pastel floral design by Fleur Chicago created the relaxed, bohemian chic color palette featured in the bride’s up do and bouquet, throughout the outdoor chapel and elegant reception marquee. The vintage campsite theme was a huge success, with friends and family kayaking, swimming and swinging from the rope swing and classically old-school basketball court dance floor under the iconic camp tree house. Madeline Druce Photography captured all of the elegant and rustic details that made this throwback wedding a charming success.
Our favorite part of the weekend was watching our guests enjoy Camp Wandawega all weekend long and really get to know each other. We had many guests from the bride’s side spark up lasting friendships with guests from the groom’s side. While the girls got ready, I could watch friends and family kayaking, swimming and swinging from the rope swing.
We wanted the weekend to be insanely fun! WillandI have both attending many weddings and we talked about what made our favorite weddings stand out in our minds and then tried to make sure we were enabling our wedding to be that way. We wanted lots of time for people to get to know each other andplenty of time for partying.
We got married at the outdoor chapel on site and then guests explored the venue while sipping Wisconsin beers. After dinner we moved to a makeshift basketball court dance floor under the iconic Camp Treehouse for dancing until we did a sparkler tunnel to a giant bonfire to end the night with s’mores and snuggles under Pendleton blankets while a spectacular lightening storm rolled in. It really was the perfect weekend!
Our ceremony felt really personal to us because we were married by my Aunt Joyce who has been a very supportive and loving person in my life. She wrote a beautiful ceremony andWilland I wrote our own vows which meant a lot to both of us. My cousin’s husband, Paul, played acoustic guitar andsang at the ceremony which was another personal touch that added to the moment. It was important to me that the ceremony be long enough to feel meaningful but not feel formulaic.
I am a designer and have lots of experience with events from a past life as a college catering coordinator. I was excited to design my own website, save the dates, invites and paper materials. I also took on the task of being my own wedding planner and coordinating the thirty vendors involved to pull off a weekend long wedding in the woods at a venue not entirely set up for events. While I never imagined to spend so much time scoping port-a-potty layouts when planning my wedding, getting into the details turned out to be a lot of fun and an awesome learning experience.
I wanted a look that would be reflective of the venue and the relaxed, boho chic look was going for. I ended up purchasing one of the first dresses I tried on from a shop called Carrie Karibo Bridal Boutique right at home in Cincinnati.
Obviously, weather is always a wild card when planning an outdoor wedding. Heat and mosquitos were our main concern with a lakeside wedding in mid-July, but we were thrown a little surprise when the “flood of the century” hit Elkhorn, Wisconsin in the days before our wedding! Lucky for us, we didn’t even notice the venue had flooded in four feet of standing water just the day before. So grateful to this miracle worker for saving the day and so relieved he knew not to panic me if he was confident he could resolve it in time.
From dominating the home décor industry to inspiring influencers worldwide, mid-century modern style can now be found in almost every aspect of our lives – including weddings! We can’t get enough of this trend’s eclectic retro vibes, so you can imagine our excitement when we started to see mid-century modern details popping up in some of our favorite weddings. Mid-century modern style is easy to channel with any wedding style due to its mix-and-match nature, so read on to discover our 6 favorite ways to incorporate mid-century modern decor in your wedding!
1. Modern Greenery
Perhaps one of the easiest ways to refresh your wedding with mid-century modern style is by adding modern greenery. You can offer your wedding trendy, outdoorsy vibes by scattering broad leaves, textured ferns, and potted fiddle-leaf fig trees among your wedding’s floral design! A greenery-forward design can be used in everything from your bouquets to your lounge areas, so speak to your florist about this easily-achieved trend.
Couples planning modern weddings usually strive for minimalist decor vibes, but in order to achieve mid-century modern wedding style, an extra element of flair is needed to convey the trend. Enter: eclectic minimalist design! This design style incorporates modern trends like metallic details and industrial spaces with old-school elements and quirky, unexpected decor. To achieve eclectic minimalist vibes, try pairing your cool, modern lounge area furniture with fun vintage knick knacks from a thrift store!
As you’ve probably gathered from its name, mid-century modern pulls a lot of inspiration from retro 1950s and 1960s styles. If you want to go the extra length to convey this trend, consider wearing a tea-length wedding dress! There’s nothing quite as elegant and cool as a tea-length dress’s shorter hemline, plus it would be the ultimate style statement that ties together your wedding’s mid-century modern wedding decor.
Incorporating geometric accents in your wedding’s style is a great way to honor the “modern” component of the mid-century modern wedding style.

Hairpin legs are one of our favorite ways to incorporate mid-century modern vibes at your wedding. As one of the most sought-after mid-century modern details, retro hairpin legs are the perfect way to pull your mid-century modern look together. You can DIY this trend by adding hairpin legs to practically any piece of furniture, or if you’re borrowing items from a rental company, ask them if they have any details with hairpin legs!
The key to channeling mid-century modern vibes is to combine old and new decor elements. What better way to convey this than with retro mixed seating? You can achieve this look by using mixed ceremony and reception seating, such as long benches mixed with chairs, lounge pillows, and poufs, or setting up a reception lounge area where you can let your creative side go wild! If you’d love to incorporate this style but your venue only offers one type of chair, consider hiring a vintage rental company to help you mix up your seating options.

Elysia and Paul’s wedding at The Riverstone Estate was pretty in pink with a subtle boho chic vibe that was perfect for a summer garden wedding! The couple exchanged vows in a natural, intimate ceremony that featured a large wreath backdrop adorned with white and pink roses, then danced the night away under the stars. The bride’s custom Kara Jade Designs pink lace gown was the obvious star of the style show, but her bridesmaids’ boohoo lace top and satin pink skirt ensembles were a very close second. Photographer MadelineDruce captured every detail of the wedding beautifully, including the bridal party’s sweet encounter with a cuddly Australian native!
My bridal style inspiration was boho chic. I loved working with my designer, Kara Jade. When we met and I told her my ideas for a lacy pink dress, she drew it up perfectly. It was like she could read my mind! My friend Keiryn made some silky wrap skirts for my girls and I couldn’t have been happier with them. Our whole bridal party looked so good together!
Our ceremony was so special. We had our friend Carly marry us, and that made it so much more personal. She organized our parents to read a poem and a friend wrote a special piece just for us, which made me cry. Everyone was so present and it’s fair to say there were a few tears of joy.
Our photographer, Madeline Druce, was so cool and calm on the day and managed to capture amazing moments that we didn’t notice. My favourite photo is of my Nanny throwing the petals that she had organized from her own garden. This just is her in a picture! I highly recommend our talented photographer!

Floral crowns have been at the forefront of bridal style for the last several years, giving brides a feminine, natural, and even ethereal style on their wedding day. Since the trend isn’t going away anytime soon, we wanted to share four ways to achieve an unboring look that sets you apart from the crown-wearing crowd. Get inspired by these 30 unique floral crowns for your upcoming wedding!
Partial Crown
A partial floral crown provides a more delicate look. Similar to a tiara, the partial crown is created with a single bloom or cluster of flowers at one point on the hairpiece, leaving the remainder of the crown empty.
While most floral crowns carry their weight at the top or slightly to one side, centering the volume of your crown at the bottom makes for a unique shape and an added touch of romance. Bonus tip: wear the crown beneath your up-do, around the base of your head, instead of on top!
When it comes to floral crowns, you may as well go big or go home! Pile on the full blooms in a vibrant arrangement that will wow your guests with a major statement.
When it comes to unexpected floral crowns, opting to play up the greenery is one of our favorite styling tricks! Leaves come in as many different shapes as flowers do, so mixing and matching various greenery can provide visual interest in your crown.
