This one is a bit more traditional than the last, using flowers that are both feminine and utterly chic at the same time. Paired next to the somewhat casual yellow runner, the result is that perfect combination of timeless and modern. Love.

I am LOVING every little bit of today’s feature. To see similar flowers and similar vessels be used in SO many different ways in incredibly inspiring.
