I have been dying to share with you on this exciting Wednesday Wednesday a Blog around the world idea,  cooked up by Valley & Co, one that will surely become one of the best Wedding Wednesdays of all time!  So join all of us in the #TWIPS and #ElegantDecay blogosphere on an AMAZING treasure  hunt today!

What makes a great party you ask? To me you need to ask yourself what kind of experience do you want your guests to have?   Turning your personalities and loves in life into a party that everyone will enjoy can mean anything from the food that is served, the music that is playing, to the visual elements of the day like linens, paper goods and flowers.

In my Elegant Decay picture that I get to share with you all below, I picture an intimate table of friends sharing stories over a glass of wine and food.  Light dinner music has been playing but now that dinner is over, it starts transitioning into fun and energetic music that everyone wants to jump up and dance to.    But you KNOW they are coming back that very first dance break in order to try that tasty chocolate cake!  (we all know me and chocolate so that is for sure a definite!) To me this is an event that will always be remembered by your guests, and this table just captures that warmness and the love completely.

To help describe the concept between this day of Elegant Decay, here is more from the designers themselves!

We’re  Aleah + Nick Valley of Valley & Co. and we’re so excited to partner with some of our most favorite blogosphere friends for this Blog Around the World: Elegant Decay post! Today you’re invited to a worldwide scavenger hunt on these awesome blogs where you’ll find snippets of our Elegant Decay photo shoot, designed to show off the after effects of a celebration: fun! We all spend so long putting together amazing designs and table scapes for our couples, and this shows off the end result {and the most important element}: enjoyment. We hope you enjoy this – thank you to all of our friends for participating and be sure to visit these other fabulous blogs for more photos, ideas, tips, and fun!
