Picnic inspired wedding decor

"Each napkin had a different ring treatment. The napkin rings were a fun DIY project. I got knobs from Anthropologie, clipped off the screws so that they would lay flat, and then created the ring by using two different types of ribbon (including that beautiful vintage velvet ribbon I found on etsy) and hot gluing the knob to the ribbon. Super easy and super cute.

We also used some additional knobs on the table to add a little extra charm"

Decorating Outdoors

Great Advices from Inglenook Decor

Try these outdoor oasis ideas & take a mini vacation just a few steps away from your living room.

1. The Bistro: Just two chairsand a table, a great book & maybe a nice glass of aged Spanish wine. Accessorize it with a few candles& of course the lush garden you’ve been working hard on since spring.

2. Hang patio drapes:Your porch will feel like a summer getaway with outdoor panel curtains. Summer’s hot but it shouldn’t be that hot!

3. Outdoor dining: When the weather is beautiful, you can dine out anytime. Weather-resistant furniture such as teak if you would like to go modern or cast iron if you would like to go romantic is so refreshing. Have a pergola or trellis? Hang chandeliers, lanterns, empty picture frames with ribbons above the dining area. Lovely!

4. Copa Cabana: Nothing evokes a vacation more than a cabana. This wooden one instantly takes me to a tropical place. Scatter colorful pillows, the more the better!

5. The Beach Chaise: Get a comfortable outdoor cushioned chaise& matching umbrella in a wonderful pattern & vivid colors, sip an ice cold lemonade & you’re in your Caribbean getaway.

Mad About Gardens - Shabby style

Spring is such a nice season to start having breakfast or lunch in your garden! Small or big it doesn’t matter.

Shabby Chic is the style that looks good and doesn’t require much work. Let wild flowers grow but not overgrow. Put natural element together but absolutely NO PLASTIC and enjoy it as it is.

Nice soft cotton seat covers on the bench, a candle holder, and an old table and the look is done!

Here’s just a tiny selection of inspirational photos. I love them!
