Add flowers. It's best to keep the contrast widely visible. Opt for bright, white flowers as much as possible.


Varying glassware, candles, and geometric lamps all make a warm, stunning combination.

Any rustic-inspired theme can also be mixed with a dash of vintage vibes. You can improvise with old, classic props as focal points.
