Wedding Spotlight : Clematis Flowers

August 9, 2016 · 1 Comment

When it comes to wedding flowers no variety can quiet compete with roses and peonies, but there is a beautiful bloom that I’ve been seeing more and more of – the clematis. Originating in Japan and then in Europe centuries ago, clematis is still a popular garden plant, beloved for their distinct and vibrant climbing hues, and are one of my…

Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday.. Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday...did you know many of our Christmas decor & traditions are directly from Queen Victoria's reign. A maximalist aesthetic rich in jewel tones that incorporated many elements already on hand & found in nature🎄🎀

What are the key design elements of a Victorian inspired Christmas.... 

- Christmas Trees. Prince Albert popularized it from his childhood in Germany. These trees were adorned w. candles, sweets, fruits, small gifts & handmade paper chains
- Ribbons!! There's a reason ribbons were a popular for the holidays, they were affordable & easily made from fabric remnants. They’re a Victorian signature
- Fresh Greenery. Beautiful mantels & bookshelves lined w. fragrant evergreens come from a time where embracing seasonal nature was the norm
- Candles! There’s nothing more magical than the flicker of candlelight. Original trees were decorated w. real candles. Thankfully we can now use electric candles to adorn ours
- Indoor decorations. Holiday home decor we love was almost all handmade! I think it's why so many are drawn to this aesthetic. Greens tied w. ribbons, mistletoe balls & wreaths hung, paper decor all carefully made
- Stockings were popularized, but mostly kept simple w. embroidered names
- Simple Intentional Gifts. Christmas wasn't for elaborate gifts, it was a time to gift fruits, nuts, sweets & small handmade trinkets. Games, dolls, books, apples, oranges & nuts were most popular
- Decorative Food, for eating & decorating. Oranges adorned w. ribbons & whole cloves became beautifully popular pomanders.  Christmas fruit cake, mulled wine, sugar plums -- all Victorian staples still adorning our tables & comforting our souls
- Christmas Cards. Christmas Crackers. Handblown Glass Ornaments...all holiday traditions we still take part in, all from a time long ago

❌DONTS for a Victorian Christmas....
- Colorful Lights 
- Snowflakes
- Jolly Santa...Victorian Christmases depict a less merry, slenderer St. Nicholas in a long robe often in white, green or blue✨
Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabr Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabric ribbon delicately tied that I haven’t been smitten with. And yes, bows are everywhere. Last year’s holiday table was a gathering of cherished family heirlooms, timeless design details that have forever imprinted in our present, the invigorating calm scents & textures of the winter season that set the scene for simple magic✨🎁

A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a t A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a touch old world....the itch for a Victorian inspired holiday table was already blooming last year🎀

Despite what social media & what others may pressure you into believing, you do not need to buy new holiday decor. Bring out the fancy stuff, make something handmade & heartfelt. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in the things we already have, making new traditions with the old, creating simple but immensely special details that become cherished memories❄️
