  • Florals: Large, lush arrangements featuring timeless flowers such as roses, garden roses, ranunculus, and astilbe. 

  • Lighting: Candles, string lights, and lanterns for a cozy, intimate glow. 

  • Decor: Lace, soft draping, antique gold accents, and whimsical details like handwritten calligraphy.
