2015 was quite a year for incredible wedding design. While a lot of weddings + editorials exuded a more natural, organic approach, there was plenty of creativity within that aesthetic to give each wedding a one-of-a-kind feel. In addition to that look, we saw decor + details inspired by different eras, seasons, objects or vibes. And we even saw an entire editorial inspired by smoke bombs!
If you’re planning to DIY much of the design of your day, or work closely with your planner, floral design or stylist to achieve your dream look, we think our list of the top Decor + Details from 2015 will definitely get your creative wheels turning!
