Silver (Wedding) Bells

Thinking about Christmas this morning I was struck by the similarities to a wedding: lots of friends and family, decorations, beautiful food, gifts and sparkly things like candles and fairylights. While a complete Christmas theme may seem a little over-embellished for some, I love the idea of taking the key decor elements and using them as the basis for a beautiful celebration!

What about sparkling silver tealights, bold red flowers and chains of fairylights? I love the fact that red is the colour of love, silver signifies refined elegance and green is representative of a new beginning - when you think about it, they're great colours for a wedding. A monochrome palette with silver accents and highlights of either red or green is a bold and celebratory colour scheme.
