Wedding themes...part 2


 


Hi again,
Whilst im in the blogging spirit and 2012 wedding season is just around the corner I thought i'd write another blog about themes for weddings. there are just SO many to chose from I couldn't possibly leave it at 4. Plus i'm a bit giddy being a bride to be myself (i'm getting married in July but im keeping my lips sealed about our theme as I want it to be a big suprise for all my guests. All i will say is that we are going all out - but then i kind of have to because my reputation as a venue dresser is on the line....)

So, here's some more theme's for you Bride to be's to consider.... and please feel free to contact me  pinktink1983@hotmail.co.uk or 01744 630759 and i'll supply and set up anything you want. AND i do mean anything!!


Classic English Country theme:
If you’re thinking about pastel shades like lemon, baby pink, soft blue, lilac, light green & peach for your bridesmaid dresses, then an English country theme could be the one for you, it’s demure, elegant and classy.

Decor could include pastel seat sashes, swags and table runnerss matching your bridesmaid’s dresses, beautiful vintage style birdcages filled with candles or artificial flowers for your centrepieces, a butterfly theme running throughout on invitations / place cards / menu / order of service.  Silk petals instead of table confetti, beautiful organza favour bags matching your colour scheme, tea lights scattered on tables and of course beautiful balloons in arches and clusters.  As for music a harpist would fit perfectly.

Fairytale:
Most women dream of a fairytale princess wedding, so if you’ve got your heart set on the big ballerina style fairytale dress, the horse and carriage and the castle cake then you could compliment it with a fairytale theme in your decor  on your big day.  You don’t have to go all pink either, because silver, gold and lilac, lemon, baby blue and mint green can all work well with this theme too! For centrepieces I would recommend balloon clusters with organza swags, because they create the dreamy fantasy atmosphere. They’re soft, sweet and pretty.  Place cards could feature crowns for the men and tiaras for the ladies, rose petals scattered on the tables, fairytale castle tea lights, favour boxes with tiaras and crowns,  then add some butterflies to balloon ribbons and near the guest book.... you really could go on forever with this theme. I think white, baby pink and baby blue with a touch of silver look stunning for this theme, so much so that I had that colour scheme for my own engagement party.

Classic Ivory:
If you like to keep things elegant, clean and simple, you might opt for classic ivory as your theme. It doesn’t have to be just all boring white, you can incorporate gold, brown, beige, champagne and nude tones to add depth and elegance. Even a touch of black can add that "coco chanel" influence.  A classic ivory theme can be just as effective as all out glamour if done correctly. For minimal fuss but maximum impact ivory and gold go perfectly together, so that would be the perfect colour for seat sashes and table runners. An elegant cream candelabra as a centrepiece looks perfect, or how about lanterns or floating candles in bubble bowls? We can supply you with simple, classic balloons, swags and favour boxes that look pretty and elegant.

Winter Wonderland:
This theme is perfect if your wedding is between October and March.  You can create your own beautiful winter wonderland to rival any fairytale.  The colours I would recommend are Ice blue, silver and white, and opt for a snowflake theme running through.

For centrepieces I would opt for candles and mirrors, the nights are dark very early at this time of year and you can create a lovely warm romantic atmosphere. If you’re not into candles then I would suggest glass centre pieces filled with crystals to create the ice like look. Your favours should be seasonal, so instead of sugared almonds how about warming winter nip mints or miniature whiskies for the gents and gins or brandies for the ladies?  As for balloons go for impressive arches, foils and pearlised colours. Invitations, order of service and place cards can feature snowflake embellishments, as could your cake. Your table confetti can be a mixture of gems and snowflakes. How about an ice sculpture to really set the scene?



I'll blog again with more themes, idea's and inspiration soon if you want any help or advice please call me on 01744 630759 or my business partner (and mum) Joan 01744 808482.
