Here's what the fabulous Aleah and Nick had to say:
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!
I am so in love with this whole idea! Too often we try and make everything so perfect, we forget about the fun! If you've been following along with the other blogs, you've seen the gorgeous Dutch impressionist inspired details and the most perfect fall palate. It really reminds me of this inspiration board I created a while back. I am in love with this beautiful mix of vibrant colors and rich elegant details. Everything is lovely and chic, but has a warmth like a lived in home. It has been used, enjoyed, and is utterly beautiful.
