Tabletop Inspiration: Mountain-Top Winter Setting

This winter styled shoot was created by Create Events to inspire the romantic bride. A color palette of cream, blush, and café latté was used as the base while hints of real wood and gold embellishments provided accent colors. All of these items were complimented by the natural setting, subdued light, and fresh fallen snow.

In order to achieve an elegant look, snow inspired chargers, and icicle champagne pops lined the table. A gorgeous mix of flowers including hydrangea, roses, and hints of baby's breath contributed to the romantic scene while pine cones and birch added a rustic flare. Candles placed on detailed sconces that hung from scattered pine trees provided a glistening ambiance. Each table setting was prepared with a patterned place card to accentuate the sconces, and key-shaped bottle openers doubled as both décor items and favors for guests.

The dessert table was filled with winter-inspired treats. Rock sugar, gold dust ornament cake pops, chocolate cake balls covered with sweet coconut, and individual red velvet bundt cakes were incorporated on the table. The focal point of the table was a three-tiered rock sugar cake topped with fresh flowers. Winter greenery and metallic ornaments added a splash of color to the table in contrast to the toasting flutes filled with sparkling champagne.
