Cool right? I’ve seen lots of wedding arches and huppahs in all different shapes and sizes, but I’ve never seen one quite as unique as this pink draped arch, designed by celebrity wedding planner Yifat Oren. I love that it seems to borrow from East Asian pagoda architecture. Blush draping and clusters of pink and white garden roses and peonies add softness, while modern ghost chairs finish off this unexpected contemporary style.

Think of your ceremony as a painting and your wedding arch as the frame. The arch is there to draw attention to the focal point (the vows!) and complement the art. There are so many ways to make your wedding arch unique with flowers, draping, even branches. For this wedding arch, Preston Bailey used a mirrored facade and the curtain of crystals and flowers to add an unexpected modern edge.  My favorite part of this design is that every guests gets a guaranteed great view of the ceremony!

A soft white like this rich cream hue sets the tone for an elegant affair. Cream isn’t as stark and modern as bright white and it looks great no matter the season. Whether you use it front and center as the main color in your palette or to complement a bold shade like kelley green or dusty blue, you can’t go wrong!

Garden roses were the perfect romantic addition to the aisle and huppah of this outdoor wedding set in the hills of Santa Barbara. The lush white flowers, simple decor, and all-white palette were stunningly simple and created romantic ambiance without distracting from the gorgeous surroundings. I love that it’s the perfect balance between nature and design and a great example if you’re going to have a stunning setting or backdrop for your ceremony.

Believe it or not, this lounge was constructed inside a tent. (Yes, you did read that right!). Celebrity event planner Yifat Oren made sure to include tons of details inspired by interior design like damask wallpaper, a huge sectional couch (comfy!), and unique wall decor. Plus the soft yellow and gray color palette is totally relaxing.The result is a lounge that looks just like your living room, so guests will feel comfortable taking a break from the dance floor and putting their feet up in this space.

Your escort card table is a great place to add some of your favorite photos. Maybe it’s photos of the two of you throughout the years, or maybe you honor your family by displaying old family wedding photos. In this case, the bride and groom love to ski — so for their Sundance, Utah wedding, Alison Hotchkiss designed a photo wall above the escort card table that highlighted photos of the couple skiing throughout the years. She tied it all together with a pair of vintage skis that doubled as a guest book! Cool right?

My mouth literally dropped when I saw this photo. With a color blocking design and a bold color combo of pink and purple in mind, celebrity event planner, Preston Bailey transformed an otherwise simple ingredients (like a long table and chairs) into a bright unforgettable tablescape. Delicately woven ribbon chairs and a ribbon table runner created tons of texture while ribbon flower rosettes hanging from clear fishing wire gave the table some serious height.
