Wine Cave

We are busy planning a large dinner party to be held in the wine cave at a beautiful vineyard. It's the perfect venue because it's mysterious, beautiful, climate controlled and candlelight just looks amazing in a cave. Here are some photos of wine cave events we found inspiring.

The Invitation

The invitation is the first impression your guests will have of your upcoming event. This piece of paper carries a huge responsibility; it announces the date, time, location and sets the mood. It should be memorable and lovely enough that your family and friends will want to save it long after the day has passed. We've rounded up some of our favorites-the ones we would be excited to get in the mail.

Color Focus: Emerald Green

 By now we are certain you have heard that Pantone named emerald green the color of the year for 2013. We are more than a little excited about it here at ravens • fête. In fact, one of us (which one is not important) had a mad color fetish for emerald green in the early '90s making it her mission to wear emerald green for her entire junior year. Although she didn't quite succeed in this plan, she did acquire some great emerald green items: an emerald velvet vintage blazer, a pair of thigh-high suede emerald green boots, and a slightly garish emerald ring.
  We are going to take a moment to focus on this peaceful, yet glamorous, hue. Green is a symbol of fertility, nature, health and good fortune. Infusing emerald green into your life adds a bit of calm and brilliance.
 
This dress paired with a leather jacket is both elegant and edgy.
 
We adore this emerald crinoline skirt.
 
A beautiful tribute to emerald from Burnett's Boards.
 
 
Perfection!
 
Love a room done in green & black.
 
Incredible emerald dress.

Look at all the joy emerald can bring.
 
Just because.
 
We hope you enjoyed.
Have a brilliant day!

Winter White Weddings

      Winter seems to be the underdog season for weddings. Spring, summer and fall get all the glory due to comfortable temperatures and beautiful foliage. However, winter should not be disregarded for nuptials and is perfect for the unconventional couple.When planning a winter wedding you will not be plagued with the worry of surprise downpours or blustery breezes. With winter's wrath in mind, a comfortable location is paramount along with a focus on creating warm ambiance. Furthermore,a winter bride can adorn herself with some extra statement pieces, letting her individual style show through as she wards off the elements.
 
The creation of an amazing winter wonderland.Look at all the brilliant details!
 
Dazzling place cards and delectable signature drinks.
 
An elegant table.
 
Add a little faux fur to stay warm.
 
The lighting and faux fur draped over the chairs create a brilliant, inviting setting. 
 
 We love the exaggerated bow on this wrap.

So gorgeous! Of course it helps that the bride is stunning.
 
Icy and lovely place cards.
 
Sweet winter treats for your guests.
 
Brilliant dress! Imagine how it sparkles in the candlelight. 
 
An ice hotel may be unconventional, but still incredible. 
 
An easy do-it-yourself project with amazing results.
 
The addition of frosted pine cones makes a rustic,yet elegant, winter bouquet. 
 
Of course, classic Hunter boots in metallic silver are the perfect footwear for a snowy wedding day. The benefit of these is that you can wear them again & again.
