Repeat the same four-color system and two core materials across the invitation, ceremony and reception. Antique brass frames can act as the visual anchor.
Where should this style's decor budget go first?
Rent statement pieces and thrift the supporting cast. Mixed objects look intentional when color and material repeat.
Can this direction work with a smaller budget?
