“Paper chains get a serious sophisticated upgrade without losing their playful charm in this ceremony backdrop created by Barb Salzman, founder of Hatch Creative Studio. The paper chain garlands framed the the couple’s vows in this chic loft-inspired space without blocking the natural light from the oversized windows as a wedding arch or fabric draping would have.

The best part about paper chains? They’re an easy DIY and completely customizable. You can buy pre-made paper chains at LoxSavvy.com in a variety of colors in prints, or if you’re the crafty WikiHow.com has a step-by-step tutorial. The key to pulling off the look is quantity and variety. By mixing and matching length, color, and size of paper chains, Barb created a luxe modern look from this time-tested party decoration.”

“Feathers add a whimsical touch to a floral arrangement, and for this bride feathers had even greater significance because after her wedding she would adopt the last name, Bird. For this winter wedding, Barb Salzman of Hatch Creative Studio walked the line between creating a bouquet that looked too springy, while also avoiding the drab look of winter. By incorporating flowers like ranunculus, succulents, hydrangea, veronica, seeded eucalyptus, anemone, nigella, yellow button mum, and silver brunia Barb complemented wintry ingredients with a nod of spring to come.” Read the full post on The Knot Blog and see more photos from this wedding on the Hatch Website!

“For a self-proclaimed “hippie” bride who wanted to walk barefoot down the aisle, Barb Salzman rolled out the green carpet with an aisle runner made of faux grass. Barb added bright sunflowers and wildflowers along the sides of the aisle to create a whimsical, organic look — and constructed the ceremony arch and entrance out of simple tree branches.” Read the full post here. 

“For a family-oriented wedding Barb Salzman, founder of Hatch Creative Studio, created this 3D family tree representing several generations of the couples’ families.  “The whole wedding was about family and the stories,” says Barb, so the tree was the perfect way to incorporate the family members into the day. Barb carried the tree theme throughout the decor, even incorporating oversized trees into the centerpieces for an earthy look.” Read the full post on The Knot blog!

“To create a custom retro touch, Barb Salzman transformed simple votive candle holders into stunning vintage photo displays using old slide projector photos. The groom from this wedding was actually an art historian with a focus on lighting, which made it all the more meaningful.

Don’t have any cool retro items laying around? Every weekend Barb travels to flea markets and vintage sales hunting for pieces to repurpose into unique decor. If you’re not so adventurous, you can even rent found objects and items from Hatch Creative Studio’s Prop Shop, or search Etsy.com, for interesting vintage table decor.”
