Brilliant Wedding Trend: Chandelier Wedding Decor

It's time for the another round-up of the Weekly Wedding Photo Challenge. This time, it's all about accenting your special day with Chandelier wedding decor.

When it comes to Chandeliers - there's something so beautiful about the ambiance they can create at wedding ceremonies and/or wedding receptions. Ballroom receptions or those under a tent or in a barn are all perfect locations for adding chandeliers. There's of course the chandeliers that are full of bling and sparkle and then there's the more modern style of chandeliers. These can look more like hanging lampshades or the hot new geometric trend of chandeliers. You might even spy the gorgeous chandeliers that are handmade with fresh greenery and even fruit. Which chandelier style is your favorite?

Enjoy the photo inspiration of all the chandeliers and be sure to follow along online as the Photo Challenge continues all year long - each and every week. Credits are below the montage.

Last Minute Fall Inspiration for Table Settings

Please note: there won't be a new giveaway launching this week due to Thanksgiving - but, the great wedding DVD momento giveaway that started last week is still running, so please be sure to enter today for your chance to win - I'll select a winner next Tuesday.

With Thanksgiving coming up on Thursday, I thought I'd share with you some last minute inspiring ideas for fall decor and table settings. Whether you're planning a fall wedding or need some inspiration for a gathering this week - here's some of the favorites I've come across.

Harvest Place Setting - a scallop-edged rectangle that is embellished with a silk ribbon is propped russet-tinged pear.

Sumptuous Centerpiece - a centerpiece as colorful as the rest of the table but kept compact so it doesn't interfere with the passing of dishes.

Both ideas above from Country Living

Gilded Centerpiece - a gilded pitcher is filled with a brilliant bouquet of roses, dahlias and rose hips. You can lightly spray flower petals and rose hips with gold paint to echo the glint of the pitcher.

Bountiful Centerpiece - candles are wrapped in green beans or asparagus or hollow out a bit of the center of an artichoke to create a unique centerpiece with green vegetables.

Both ideas above from Better Homes and Gardens

Harvest of Flowers - small pumpkins are easily transformed into a beautiful bouquet of blooms by hot gluing mums in harvest colors to the pumpkins.

Floral Pumpkin - a block of soaked florist's foam was carved into a sphere and then placed on a cake stand. Orange mums were cut short and inserted into the foam. The faux stem is from a woody branch. The pumpkin is finished off with  a few leaves and a twine of berries.
