Winter Celebrations Inspiration

February 8, 2011 by 7 Comments
We’ve got the winter blues around here…in a good way!  This beautifully styled inspiration shoot by Maine Seasons Events and Corbin Gurkin Photography uses a blue color palette, adding natural elements and pops of maroon for interest. 
I love the details of the table setting: moss-covered candle holders, birch wood pedestals, burlap table cloth, and a gorgeous array of flowers and fruit.
The dessert table also features natural elements including more birch wood, various berries, and twig cake ball handles.  This is a nice counterpoint to the elegant cake topper and silver glittery accent decor (beneath the tiered cookie stand). 
This beautiful design would be wonderful for any wedding or engagement party, or even a retirement party or anniversary party.  You can see more from the gallery here.  I hope you’re inspired!
