Shimmering taupes, cool silvers and soft lavenders are classic winter wedding colors, but how to keep them from coming across as cold and, well, boring? The folks at Vibrant Table, known for their visionary event styling, took that color palette and ran with it—all the way back to Victorian England for inspiration.
To achieve this look throughout your wedding, it pays to be a bit fearless, though always with one eye on the era’s formal stylings. Here, traditional damask meets bold black and white stripes, die-cut silhouettes punctuate the refined hues, and lush hothouse flower varieties like lilac and rose brighten the look. Bring in rustic details like wooden chairs and wicker to warm the space—and recall the period’s colonial adventures. Finish with details that speak to its fascination with natural history: insect specimens, magnifying lenses, apothecary jars. The result is a refreshing turn on old-fashioned decadence, the perfect setting for a wildly elegant wedding.
