The beauty of the shabby-chic theme is that nothing is supposed to match. This vintage-meets-modern-bohemian theme lends itself beautifully to fine china of various patterns, embroidered ivory tablecloths, ornate glassware, classic silver candlesticks and cushions monogrammed with the bride and groom’s initials slung casually over odd chairs. For full floral effect, order roses of all types and shades and gather these in full, unstructured arrangements in various ceramic pots and vases. And to perfect the scene, get the dinner menu printed on quality ivory paper then pop these into ornate frames.
