Simple White on White Cake
It may seem like an obvious concept but one of the easiest ways to turn your wedding into a breathtaking fete is to go really really simple on the details.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can add a lot of detail – think beautiful adornment but just in white. So yes to the fleurets but no to the color!
2. Try Overhead String Lights
I absolutely love overhead string lights for a backyard. It looks incredible, has that amazing DIY backyard feel but it can really brighten an evening wedding without adding too much light. Check out this adorable wedding from Los Angeles California below. See the string lights – um obsessed!
3. Pillar Candles
Pillar candles and small votives are another way to add a lot of flare to a wedding without creating too much bright light. Everyone looks gorgeous in it. Ugh! Love it!
What I love about pillar candles is that you can get them for relatively cheap and they are incredible details for a mantle, a table, or even a buffet table top.
