Vintage plum + gold wedding inspiration
Love this sophisticated take on wedding design from Elizabeth Lewis of The Nouveau Romantics and Antiquaria (love them both!!), plus a whole team of excellent creatives. It’s such a yummy take on, perhaps, a decadent fall palette? We know there are some fall and winter brides out there who are srsly rethinking their wedding plans right now!
MMM. Blackberry champagne cocktails and an inventive cheese platter. Looks just perfect.
And the guinea fowl feathers with simply gorgeous gold calligraphy? Such a nice contrast to the vintage bottles and stone wall of the venue.
Isn’t it just lovely? Thank you so much for sharing this with us! <3

I looove this combo. For some reason it feels nostalgic... something about the 'grape' color qualities that just make you feel good! So pretty.
Melanie Watson on Jun 21, 2011
LOVE this. The gold and plum is gorgeous and the touch of feathers adds an amazing earthiness to it all. Gorgeous.

So beautiful! Love the color of those linens but can't make out what they are from the photos. Are they gray or plum? Where does one find them?
Courtney on Jun 22, 2011
Those were our wedding colors! (We were married at Christmas time so they fit perfectly.) Thanks for sharing this- it's beautiful!
Anne on Jun 22, 2011

Thanks for this beautiful post. We are always inspired by plum and gold. This is perfect timing for all the upcoming Fall and Winter weddings! Gorgeous!
liz | the nouveau romantics on Jun 22, 2011
thank you all for your positive comments! @lea - the linens were a grey linen from a local rental company (Marquee in Austin); @kate - the dress is an old one from anthropologie, but it was certainly perfect for the story! If anyone else has any questions, feel free to shoot me an email at liz [at] thenouveauromantics [dot] com

Plums, grays, and golds are such a warm and inviting combination! Beautifully done! I might just re-decorate my office just looking at these images!

super gorgeous.

i love the use of the blackberry with the rustic tones. the eclectic mix of vases & bottles on the guest tables is hugely popular for less formal wedding celebrations in ireland, which are increasing in popularity
Catherine on Jul 13, 2011
So beautiful! I love everything...colors, textures, vintage style...it's very pretty! Thank you for this posting

Sooooo beautiful! It's the perfect combination of elegant and rustic. I especially love the details: ivory candles, brown bottles and vases of feathers!!!! GORGEOUS!
Brittani on Sep 4, 2011
I'd love to find these dresses....any ideas?
Kaye on Jan 30, 2012
Love it - from the flowers to the rustic cheese table and fine china table settings. but what really blew me away was the dress - that colour is stunning with this theme.
Diana on Mar 2, 2012
Oh, so beautiful! I've never seen fritillaria in green before--they're lovely. Really nicely done, everyone!
Gaffey Productions, Videographer on Oct 9, 2012
I am in LOOOOOVE: the colours and the combination with grey, just wonderful! Perfectly themed and very nicely photographed. Well done :))
