Downing and Herzig set the fresh tablescape within a hedgerow bordered by a mossy stone wall and arbor trimmed with pink and white garden roses. The harmonious design delights the eye with a carefree tone-on-tone palette and multiple textures and shapes. Sparkling glassware, gold-rimmed plates, a tight-fitting tablecloth and sophisticated King Louis round-backed chairs created the feel of an afternoon garden party. " Playing off the garden with simple floral arrangements is a lovely way to accommodate the budget-conscious bride, " says Herzig. Table flowers were carefully arranged in free-flowing drifts with single tapered candles to invite conversation and unencumbered views of the gorgeous setting. Herzig also added yellow cosmos and locally grown blueberries, raspberries and lemons to transform the table into a lovely day-after brunch spot for family and friends. 56 | New Hampshire Magazine's BRIDE
