Keeping the tablecloths very neutral allows you to add a touch of sparkle to your glassware and cutlery. The gold-rimmed glasses with the gold dandelion chargers complement each other perfectly. Add a neutral menu to tie the design together.” – Georgina from Gigi Events. “Above is a classic Italian long tablescape with white roses and silver finishes. It’s a very simple yet classic look. Remember to always consider the quality of your white linen; you don’t want to be able to see the table underneath!” – Georgina Porter from Gigi Events. “Plinths and urns can be relocated throughout your venue. They also provide the perfect frame for your photos.” – Samantha from Emily&Me. “Spring weddings fit the neutral and elegant theme perfectly. Seasonal flowers for spring include blossoms, tulips, ranunculus and viburnum opulus.” – Rebecca from Lilac and Lace Floral Design. VENUE STYLING 63
