We love this birch branch centerpiece, which mirrors the wallpaper backdrop in this room. It's an easy DIY project and it features two eco-friendly resources: birch wood and moss.  If you'd like the step-by-step directions, check out Interior Designer Kurt Cyr's site. Does your event space have a thematic wallpaper pattern? Instead of fighting it, consider reflecting the room's imagery in your tabletop display for extra drama. For more great, seasonal centerpiece ideas, check out Cyr's book, Centerpieces through the Year.

One of our favorite aspects of Kari and Byron’s nature-inspired wedding is the personal approach they took to commemorating the day for family and friends, most of whom had traveled to be there. In lieu of one-size-fits-all favors, Kari, a clinical psychologist, and Byron, a market researcher, presented their guests with a painstakingly chosen used or vintage travel book. “We spent a lot of time picking out a special book for each couple and it was honestly one of the most fun tasks on our long to-do list,” says Kari.
