From Shabby Chic.....to Sexy and Sleek

Many brides are looking for
inspiration and are searching for the answer to “what is cutting edge?” The
wedding themes over the past few years have evolved to both “sleek and modern”
or have gone backwards with time to a very “rustic and simple” feel. At Party Plus, we’ve perfected the two
looks!
In October we participated in a
styled shoot with some of the wedding extraordinaires at Bayside Bride. The setting- an old barn at Richardson’s Farm
that was turned into a whimsical space with twinkle lights dripping from the
ceiling and lanterns that kept it fun and up to date. The tables were dressed in pure white linens,
and at the center of each table was a gorgeous bright orange pumpkin that was
dug out to house the florals that represented every color of fall. On the back

of each chivari chair were shiny red apples that hung like a banner from one
side to the other, adding a country impression. There were also fresh cut logs
that stood in as pedestals for the delicious pies that took the place of a
traditional wedding cake. The “I do”
carved pumpkins at the barn doors topped it off!
A few days ago we took to the
other end of the spectrum and stepped into the modern world with photographer
Justin Price at The Inn at Henderson’s Wharf.
With elegant plush pewter linens draping the tables, mixed in with
touches of bold colors like cobalt blue and fuchsia, we made a statement!! Purple and blue perception glasses gave the
table just the right attitude, while the silver sprayed leaves on the white
roses and pale hydrangea flowers by Baltimore Florist, left the table somewhere
elegantly in the future. Our beautiful
bride, Amy Marie Hyson, gave the shoot the exact touch of sultriness that we
were looking for. Thank you to all of our vendors that participated! Without you we couldn’t make magic!
