There are some several trends that are real must-haves for the style-conscious couples. One of the current favourites is the metallic trend.

A great way to introduce that theme at home is through books. Taschen and Assouline create coffee-table books that are a pleasure to have around, whether providing an accent on a bookshelf, or displayed on a side table. After all, what is a book but a window into a different and exciting world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-116777\" title=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Summer_Entertaining_H-119-1.jpg\" alt=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" width=\"870\" height=\"1305\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-116777\" title=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Summer_Entertaining_H-119-1.jpg\" alt=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" width=\"870\" height=\"1305\" \/><\/noscript><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5 Star Wedding Directory<\/strong>:\u00a0How else can you evoke that luxury, exotic travel vibe in your home?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Zsofia Jamieson:<\/strong> Smell is a subtle yet powerful way to add a chic touch. It is an incredible medium: your guests will <em>feel<\/em> luxury yet they won\u2019t be able to quite put their finger on how it is achieved. It is all part of creating an overall mood, orchestrating a range of subtle notes. We love these Missoni candles: they smell as good as they look!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-116778 size-full\" title=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Summer_Entertaining_H-189-1.jpg\" alt=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-116778 size-full\" title=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Summer_Entertaining_H-189-1.jpg\" alt=\"Summer Wedding Gifts\" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" \/><\/noscript><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5 Star Wedding Directory<\/strong>: Everything you show me makes me want to touch it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Zsofia Jamieson:<\/strong> That\u2019s another secret to an inviting and welcoming home: introducing interesting textures which invite touch. Whether it is a metallic, uneven rim on your serving platter, or the interplay between smooth, cool marble and warm wood in a tray, or the relief pattern on your cushions, touch is what ultimately connects us to that object, and what makes us want to hold it and to have in our homes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter
