Planning an event with an air of elegance?  It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be well planned to get that classic and elegant feel. Whether it's a wedding, a milestone celebration, or a chic dinner party, creating an event that feels effortlessly sophisticated is all about simplicity and a few dramatic touches.  Start with a clean slate and add soft lighting, beautiful blooms, and a simple color scheme - cream & gold work so well here. Our latest Event Inspo Guide aims to achieve elegance.  We'll share some simple yet stunning ideas to help you pull off an elegant affair that your guests will remember for all the right reasons.  (Click images for links to products.)

Centerpieces:

Start with an ivory chiffon table runner, and layer eucalyptus garlands down the center for a classic, natural look. Add gold metal vases with varying white blooms, and place gold rim glass cylinders filled with ivory pillar candles between them. Finish with gold mirror arch table numbers and gold votive holders for a touch of understated glam that ties it all together beautifully.

Table Settings:

Set gold acrylic beaded chargers topped with these ivory subtly textured Sahara dinner plates. Add Champagne damask napkins, secured with gold buckle napkin rings, for a refined touch. Ribbed goblet glasses bring a classic feel, while gold place card holders add a personal, polished finish.

Decor:

Get that dramatic standout moment as guests enter with these stunning gold crystal chandeliers - the ultimate luxurious focal point.  Add hanging wisteria for a dream touch that adds texture to any space.  Use acrylic chairs for a sophisticated seating option that doesn’t steal focus from the tablescapes.. Gold flower stands with cascading blooms bring height and elegance and ensure your space is filled with florals. These ivory chiffon drapes soften the space and can be used to block unseemly walls and add a light, airy feel to any room.

Personal Touches:

This elegant custom cake serving set for your memorable moment will not only photograph beautifully, but can be engraved to commemorate the big day.  Have your guests send you off in style with these adorable gold bubble wands.    Display cards in this gold glass card box and encourage them to leave their well-wishes in this custom gold guestbook.  Use golden moment Polaroid film for keepsake photos with a touch of luxury. These customized champagne charms add an extra bit of elegance to your champagne toasts and speeches.
