Chinoiserie Chic

This tablescape by Nook Flowers is themed Chinoiserie Chic - a melding of old world charm and an eclectic, modern, blooming colour palette. Chinoiserie or the fanciful, whimsical, and flamboyant European interpretation of the Chinese style of deco, presents beautifully as a wedding theme.

The cool hues of the vintage blue and white porcelain - the French call it Blanc de Chine͟ - is unusually paired with flamboyant, exotic textures of flowers with bold colours. The choices of flowers utilised were roses, hydrangea, pincushion protea, snapdragons, chrysanthemums, hypericum berries, rice flower, alstromeria and anthuriums.
