Winter Elegant Blue and Gold Wedding Inspiration at Lapstone Barn

I love all things vintage, especially French and knew instantly from the mod board sent to me by Tulle and Blue which props I would love to select to style and decorate Lapstone Barn to match the mood board.

I felt our French grey shutters painted with grey with a lilac tone that compliments so many colour schemes are painted with Annie Sloane chalk paint along with the French Jardiniere would be perfect to create simple and elegant backdrops that would both tone with and compliment the gorgeous foliage garland and foliage hoop. The shutters were used to create the backdrops for the sweet heart table, welcome sign, table plan and cake display - all accessorised with a blue chiffon runner, vintage brass taper candlesticks, gold tone votives with various size French and Nordic candles in complimenting tonal and accent colours. You can never have enough candlesticks - right?

Inspiration for the winter set backdrop came from the the blue wooden panelling outside the barn which we used to create and provide contrast to the natural wood of the vintage skis and the textures and tones of the foliage and delicate flowers used in the floral hoops. I accessorised this set up with different textural accessories comprising of fur throws, vintage skates, vintage wooden sledge, along with cream and gold Moroccan style lanterns. Modern and vintage can always work well together so never be afraid to mix them, also to mix metallics.

In selecting accessories to compliment the Props to incorporate, I chose tones of greys, blues and whites for the candles in varying sizes and heights, with warming accents of vintage brass and gold glass votives, all of which have embodied texture and details. The devil is always in the detail.

Round or long tables always a debate - both are great and here we examples showing how you can decorate a rustic long table and also a round more traditional formal table.

I had to add in some of our winter sports props being a lover of winter sports - especially skiing and sledging.
