Winter colour inspiration

With winter fast approaching I've been experimenting with wintery looks...
I love the combination of very pale powder blue and white, it always look chic and clean.
For the first look I tied paper lace doilies together with ribbon for make a banner to hang behind my table. The table was dressed with  muslin with a runner made from pale blue wallpaper.
I ran a rotary blade down the sides of the wall paper to give it a scalloped edge.
I added 2 circular doilies and placed white cut out candle holders  on them.


In the centre I placed a white candlestick (one of my recent finds, I loved the parrots!) on an oblong doily. I love the final result, sometimes its nice to do some styling without flowers!  
     

  

   For the second look I wanted a bit more sparkle so I covered the table with silver cobweb material and hung a snow flake garland up for my back drop.
I used a candlestick with a cheap light fitting for my centr[piece topped it with a mirror and votives and placed a white feather wreath at the base. I finished the look by adding some mercury glass candle holders. I know crystal and mirrors have been used a lot and I was a little worried it might be a little OTT adding feathers as well  but for a winter or christmas wedding (or party) I think it works!
