Sweet as Honey

BELOVED OCCASION

The heady scents of fragrant petals swirl through the air as well-wishers celebrate a bride’s upcoming nuptial bliss at a honeymoon-themed affair. A fern pattern on the tablecloth accentuates the verdant setting where invitees partake of a honey-infused spread evoking the sweetness of love. Grounding the lush atmosphere, wicker detailing on chairs, vases, and napkin rings contrasts with soft elements like ruffled napkins and a pintucked place mat. Placed near touches of gold and silver in a framed menu and flatware, crisp white plates brighten the display that greets all who convene for this felicitous moment.
