A Textured Elegant Reception By Willow Tree Creative

Modern Wedding Posted: March 24, 2016

HEADER_Shoot_234

Inspired by the use of texture and contrast, this effortlessly elegant setting captures little details with lots of interest. We featured this shoot by Willow Tree Creative in the second edition of our annual styling handbook and just had to share more!

Based on a chic colour palette of black and white, with a mix of raw, natural tones including greenery, greys and charcoals, the modern, elegant aesthetic of this celebration is offset with a touch of industrial style, keeping the atmosphere fresh and contemporary. A bold black and white base for the main table, combined with black chairs and both white and concrete vases creates a strong contrast, and when paired with oversized, wild floral arrangements, the results are simply stunning. Vintage cutlery, crystal glassware, French scalloped dinner plates, concrete candle holders and elegant black chairs draped with wild florals creates a striking spectrum of different textures and tones, while the addition of fresh floral and oversized greenery finishes this timeless, yet utterly unique look perfectly.
