✨ A Glow Like No Other ✨

The tables were dressed in vintage-inspired linens, with a mix of tall, dramatic centerpieces and low, lush floral arrangements in white and green. The combination of textures, heights, and SO many candles created an atmosphere that felt cozy, elegant, and truly unforgettable!

This design proves that candlelight is never just an accent—it’s a mood. ✨🕯

An extra bonus - using potted plants added an eco-friendly element to their day by reducing waste. This solution was gorgeous, functional, and it perfectly fit in with the couples' "speakeasy meets Jumanji" inspiration! 🥂✨
