We’re tickled pink about the Style Central feature for the next issue of Phoenix Bride & Groom!

Event planner and stylist Victoria Canada shares with us some of her favorite ideas for upping the style factor on your chairs at the reception or the ceremony. 

“Hand painted silk shows that pink is not always a wallflower,” says Canada. “Don’t pigeonhole your wedding style by eliminating color combinations you think might not work. Done the right way, red and pink are fresh, fun and vibrant.”  (Wildflower Linen)

The stylist suggests marking the inside of your ceremony aisle with something fun and fresh, and perhaps a little unexpected.

Victoria herself fashioned this peacock feather and ribbon aisle decoration. “This is a terrific way to create something that really pops and will blow in the breeze on a spring day.”

For a sweetheart table that will really stand out, consider a ballgown of a chair cover, like the one below, which lends instant elegance to a simple chivari chair. (Wildflower Linen)
