Wonderful Wedding Poppies

Poppies are amazing!  It only takes a few stems to add beautiful and vibrant pops of color to any scene.  Color theory has proven that these citrus like hues evoke happiness and fun… what a brilliant color palette for a summer wedding!

I had so much fun gathering poppy inspiration.  It was hard to narrow down the elements!

In this inspiration board:

• Poppy invitations from Minted
• Cake found on Project Wedding
• Beverage and tray image from Beth Helmstetter Events
• Menswear image found on Project Wedding
• “Eva Silk Chiffon” bridesmaid dress by Jenny Yoo
• Seating by Chameleon Chairs
• Favors by Jubilee Events
• Tabletop decor from Elizabeth Anne Designs

Fancy Folds

I’ve seen the art of napkin folding in many forms- from flowers to swans. It’s one of the few decor details that doesn’t dig into pocketbooks.
I especially LOVE this easy DIY bow tie setting from Martha Stewart Weddings. What a cute finishing touch for your reception tables!

The Milliken Table Linens website provides both written and video instructions for various other napkin folds. The Napkin Folding Guides website will also walk you through the steps to fold your favorite designs; from birds to standing fans.

Ask your serving staff or banquet manager(s) what type of folds they can create for your big day!
