(above) One way to honor your heritage: Pore over recipes passed down from generation to generation to create a delectable dessert display. Coconut pecan pie, anyone?



(above left) A bountiful bouquet of magnolia, thistle, scabiosa pods and muscari, like this one designed by Sadie’s Couture Floral & Event Styling, looks like it was picked fresh from a backyard in Norway.
(above right) No need to restrict the décor to the tabletops; cascading florals and wreaths can wow all the way to the floor. 



(above) Understated pops of red and gray-blue anchor this invitation suite, appropriately titled “for alltid” (“for all time”), as it expertly mixes modern type with a traditional vibe.



(above) For a playful touch, dig through Grandma’s attic to find a traditional Dalecarlian horse. Kids and adults alike will get a kick out of it.
