Mirror Image

Mirrors are a MUST for every home (and quite possibly every room). No, not because I'm vain and like to look at myself - they also serve other functions as well! A mirror will undoubtedly open up a space and bounce light around the room. They will add depth and dimension while reflecting the beauty around it. I need to purchase more mirrors...

Guest Post: Design Shuffle on Tablescapes


Once again I've managed to ignore my blog while I devote all of my attention to wedding planning (sigh). Fortunately I was recently contacted by Design Shuffle with the opportunity to have someone do a guest post for me. It couldn't have come at a better time! They even offered up the fabulous idea of highlighting wedding tablescapes - obviously a topic that is on my mind these days! Just take a look at the unique designs they found.

Thank you Susi for doing my job!


Hi, I’m Susi, a writer at Design Shuffle, a community for interior designers, home decorators and other design professionals to share ideas and projects. Sharing decorating ideas is one of my favorite things about being a guest blogger so I am thrilled to be asked to write about inspirational wedding tablescapes for Lou Lou Pear. Whether you are planning a wedding, dreaming of a future someday wedding or wanting a redo, hopefully these charming wedding tablescapes will inspire you. Enjoy!

Vintage Wedding Table Design
Having a colorway that is carried throughout the wedding to include both tablescapes and food gives the event a polished look. Love the charming vintage fabric and style of this dessert tablescape. The ribbon hung framed photos is another charming touch.

Outdoor Wedding Tablescape
Cute make your own s'mores kits as place settings are perfect for this outdoor wedding tablescape. There is a casual camp feeling with enameled cups and plate and forest inspired centerpieces.

Book Wedding Tablescape
For the book lovers or writers this tablescape by BHLDN is all about word. Love how book pages are used in clever ways to decorate this charming wedding table.

Eclectic Wedding Tablescape
Looking for outdoor dining room design ideas for a wedding? Then, start here. Inspired by the current design trend, the terrarium centerpieces on these eclectic wedding tables are very cool. Who wouldn't want to take home a cool terrarium as a wedding favor?

Outdoor Wedding Tablescape
Another outdoor tablescape inspired by the forest. Moss, feathers and bark create inspiring vignettes and centerpieces on this simple wood farmhouse table. Simple but gorgeous.

Ouiseau Bird Tablescape
Here's another charming tablescape by BHLDN called Ouiseau for its blue and white bird theme. Love the pleated paper ribbons and whimsical Victorian inspired designs.

Mason Jar Wedding Design
Mason jars are incredibly versatile and can work into so many wedding tablescapes. Love them filled with water & floating candles, wrapped in burlap for votives or flowers; or used as small glasses for classic cocktails or punch.

Candle Wedding Tablescapea
Use color inspire to decorating ideas for a stylish wedding tablescape. You could forgo flowers and centerpieces all together in favor of colorful candles that add color and light to the table.

Antlers All Around

It seems like everywhere I turn I am seeing more and more antlers in the design world. Gone are the days where they were used solely in log cabins or western interiors. They have found their place in modern and eclectic homes alike. What are your thoughts? I'm on the fence. I like the fact that they add some dimension to an otherwise flat wall but I don't know if I'd want to look at antlers above my bed..

Grasscloth

I've always thought Grasscloth was kind of dated and stuffy but lately I've been seeing it in a new light. I'm actually kind of obsessed with it. It is natural and classic, but can take on a great fresh look when styled correctly. Not to mention the fact that it comes in an array of colors (and prints!).  See for yourself:

Ikat

Ikat fabrics have been in fashion for quite some time but I can't get enough of them! The natural look of the weave combined with crazy bright colors is right up my alley.  Although they became super popular a few years ago I am finding the pattern everywhere these days. There are so many options to choose from - this is just a sampling of what I'm loving....
