So I have a new obsession for all things shabby chic and oddly enough it wasn’t sparked by a wedding theme design I worked on but rather in the decor of my new home. What’s great about it (other than the fact that my house looks fantastic!) is that it’s totally wedding transferable and it’s fabulous!
Here’s the low down on the how to:
1. It’s all about pastels, whites and creams. Think pretty. Think soft. Think cozy.
2. It’s all about patterns. Whether they be floral, checker, plaid, or a combo of all three, it'll work. Just make sure you keep a consist colour scheme when blending patterns to ensure a common thread.
3. It’s all about the details. The true Shabby Chic ambiance is not created by any one given thing but rather a blend of small details that work perfectly together. A throw, a candle, a sign, a picture...
4. It’s all about vintage. If it’s worn in, if it’s rusty, if it’s chipped, it works!
Here’s a link to a great website I used when decorating my place...

Hope it gets you off on the right track to creating your shabby chic wedding experience!
Best!
