Think Mink!

Red Peony Wedding Bouquet

Wine and greige (or mink) are two colors we currently love together. See how the richness of one and the elegance of the other can make wedding-day magic.

There's something slightly daring, yet totally alluring about a gorgeous mink gown, especially when it's against crimson garden roses, ranunculus, clematis, viburnum berries, and scabiosas. Grayish-brown hellebores and a taupe silk bow add the chic finishing touches.

Mad-for-Plaid Centerpieces

centerpiece-v2-046-exp2-flowers-and-040-comp-mwd110159.jpg
Credit: James Ransom

Tempted to match dark colors with gold accents? Try silver instead. It will give your tablescape a "weekend in the Cotswolds" feel that's surprisingly fresh and modern. This refined setting keeps its cool with pewter-banded plates, a tartan runner, and wild centerpieces wispy enough not to thwart across-the-table conversations. To get the look, loosely cluster chocolate cosmos, ranunculus, hellebores, clematis, andromeda, and spirea branches in horn and metallic vessels.
