Xyn & Alex: Decor

Instead of hiring an event stylist, the bride opted to collaborate with her florist in terms of the reception decor. In light of this, she bought white lanterns, which she found was more affordable than having a stylist provide them. With this, the bride was able to get the chic look that she wanted and was also able to make her guests happy as they gave the lanterns away as souvenirs as well.
