Wedding Inspiration: Eye-Catching Overhead Decor
March 3, 2011 admin

My favorite things to look for when I look at gorgeous wedding after gorgeous wedding are those unexpected details and touches that really catch your eye.  My latest obsession?  Overhead installations, ranging from fun colored pom poms to sparkly chandeliers to, well, pretty much anything that has me looking up!  Spice up outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours by hanging lanterns from trees, string twinkling lights or pops of color along the beams of your reception tent or maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find a venue that comes with a built-in ceiling stunner. For now, take a look and get inspired by these suspended beauties!
