As promised, I have a new wedding to share!
If I had to pick only one element to add to my wedding (as hard as that would be) I would choose light. Candles, bistro lighting or like this wedding, lanterns. It warms everything up and adds a glow to everything! It even makes the food taste better, I swear.
Whenever I style a wedding and find out they have no intention of adding light of any form, I gasp! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN MY FRIEND!
Details: Large deep red rose heads floating as a backdrop, mini golden lanterns lining the isle, a Mexican buffet played up in rich colors, bare bulb lighting, lounge areas mixed in with small and large cocktail tables, large lanterns and a good mix of metallic bronze votives...and of course their own personal stylish touches.
Enjoy!

Sometimes I get to work with very inspiring brides with a sense of great personal style. During my consultation with this bride, Christy, I soon realized she had almost all the ideas for her wedding in place and was ready to craft. She not only knew of her wedding look but crafted most of these unique pieces herself along with her Dad on his Tennessee Ranch.
She was very nervous about letting someone else take on the set-up the day of her wedding. When we met, I could tell how important these details were to her but I was up for the challenge. If there is one thing that I love most, it is set-up and styling! Yes, the days can be long and you go without food or water and on this day- sunscreen, but it's all worth it when you see the bride give you her approval with a smile. Her husband Mike was extremely gracious as well and I feel honored that she trusted Kari Addison Styling to step in and take care of her wedding day!
