With a pale pink tablecloth as our linen, we brought in some contemporary rentals from our rental parter, Modern Rentals, like the grey ghost chairs and black cutlery, and then added some more unique elements with a retro style, like the black and white polka dot napkins, and the vintage colour-blocked glassware. When combining different aesthetics, it’s important to make sure the elements and details are well-balanced so that one style doesn’t overpower the other. Rebekah Brontë Designs
