Wedding Cakes

Weddings are fabulous. I like weddings. You can meet new people, you can bond with people you haven’t seen for a long time, you can dance, you can have a nice time!

     Rules For Styling Great Tables

·      Budget first before you plan your design or you could be disappointed

·     Always use a floor length tablecloth!

·    Use chair covers only when it will enhance the look of the event

·  Your table center does not have to be dramatic – just interesting

·   Give some thought to accessorizing your table as these finishing touches will  elevate your design to a higher level

 

Reasons to Use Chair Covers to Enhance Your Table Design

Cover unsightly, tired or worn-looking chairs, Incorporate Corporate:

In order to appreciate why chair covers can have such a massive

impact on your event design and by natural consequence the impact

and first impression you create you should think of chair covers as

clothing for chairs.

And just like a person, the clothes we wear say a lot about who we are.

Your appearance is a major factor in determining how other people

Perceive.

 Colours

Like napkins and tablecloths, you can also use chair covers to bring in corporate colours, your logo or brand identity. The rules are the same only

the garment (tablecloth or chair cover) is different.

Chair covers can soften the look of corporate looking spaces.

They will give the wedding a prettier feel if you go for traditional white or ivory or consider using black for a classy and stylish look.

 Soften The Look. Give a Uniformity of Style

Chair covers can give your event a lovely uniformity of style as long as they’re all positioned properly before the guests sit down and are of a good quality standard.

When Not To Use Chair Covers

Many people find this strange as we rent tens of thousands of chair

covers each year but oftentimes I like designing events without chair

covers. There’s some lovely chairs you can hire like Chiavari chairs or

Ghost chairs (expensive but worth it!!) and you can still accessorise

these with some clever and elegant looking extras.

 Also, when your venue has good quality dining chairs in situ, you

may struggle to find a good quality chair cover that will fit. Often, the

chairs are nice enough to stand alone!

7 Reasons Why You Should Invest More Of Your Event

Budget In Décor

 

1. Stamp your company’s individuality on the event

This can refer to brand identity, marketing message or even

endorsing your corporate colours. Don’t be drab and boring -

make your clients sit up and take notice of you.

2. Create a great first impression

Make your clients, guests or staff take notice when they enter the

event space so that they immediately know they’re at something

special. This will set the tone for the rest of your event. Your

clients will thank you for inviting them to an event that they

actually enjoyed for a change. Chances are they’ll stay as a client

for longer and probably spend more money with you over the

following years.

3. Transform the space

Your guests may have been at an event at your venue before.

Some may even have attended more than one. If the table and

room décor is bland like the previous events they’ve been to,

there’s every possibility they’ll think your event is bland too.

4. Improve staff results

Reward your staff with an incentive event or awards ceremony

and you’ll find that they will feel rewarded and more importantly,

appreciated. They in turn will work harder for you with more

productivity, better results and increased loyalty.

5. Raise more money

Your guests at your charity dinner will be inclined to dig

deeper into their pockets if they feel that you value them as

clients by putting some effort into your event as opposed to

organising “yet another charity dinner”.

6. Your friends will appreciate you more

Thank your friends by showing them how much you appreciate

them staying friends or being there for you by inviting them to

your party. Put some thought and effort into it and they’ll be

proud to call you a friend. Beware though that the better you get

at it, the more phone calls you’ll get demanding to know when

your next party is happening!

7. Share the joy of your wedding day

Your friends and family will realise that you truly appreciate them

by taking your wedding to a certain level, design wise. Similar to

the party example above, they’ll feel uplifted by the occasion and

be proud that you value your friendship with them

The 5 Most Common Party Planning

Mistakes

Don’t ruin your party with a mistake that could so easily have been avoided! Below

you will find the 5 most common mistakes party planners regularly make and how to

avoid them!

1. Unremarkable Entertainment

The last thing you want at your party is a dull atmosphere where guests are bored!

This can easily happen if you choose the wrong type of entertainment for your party.

By choosing something a little different to the norm you can keep your guests

amused and having fun, regardless of their age!

If budget is a concern, simple suggestions such as DJ and background music from

an ipod can work perfectly as long as they are tunes that will get everyone up

dancing.

2. Is There Any More Champagne?

It’s crucial that you have enough food and beverages to satisfy your guests.

The last thing you want is to run out of drinks  or foods half way through the night!

If you are using a caterer or a party planner, they should be able to advise you on

how much you will need, based on the number of guests you are expecting,

If you’re planning this event yourself, remember it’s always best to overestimate

rather than get caught out on the night,

3. Where Are We?

Choosing a venue for your party will usually be dependent on various factors

But this doesn’t mean you have to settle for something that is not right for your

party! Consider the number of guests you are inviting, and the type of party you are

throwing.

Think out of the box for this one!

4. Décor

Decorating your venue is usually something that is considered less important than

the other factors e.g. catering, venue, entertainment (unless you are throwing a

themed party, in which case décor should be at the forefront of your party plans!).

However, it is one of these elements that can really add to the atmosphere of your

party, and a small budget doesn’t have to equal tacky decorations!

Be clever with your budget and use it for elements that will have the most impact on

your guests, for example, maybe all you need is some creative lighting to enhance

the venue.

If your budget will stretch, consider contracting a professional venue styling

company who can make your vision a reality.

5. Fantastic Night, But Where Are The Memories?

People are often so busy planning the party that they forget about capturing the

essence of the night for long-lasting memories.

Hire a good photographer or appoint a friend to do the job.

When it’s all over you’ll want to remember the fun of the night and there’s no better way of doing this than through photos and videos!

Gazebo Wedding Ideas

Couples who want to exchange their vows in a more romantic and natural place can choose a gazebo venue. These types of locations are growing in popularity nowadays when our brides and grooms are looking for unique places where they can have an intimate, personal and commodious wedding. Gazebos are ideal for ceremonies, but a bigger location can also fit a small reception party. This sweet place sets the perfect romantic tone for a wedding and for an emotional statement of love.

There are many ways in which you can add even more beauty to a gazebo, by decorating it with your favourite flowers, fabrics and symbols. This venue is able to reflect a couple’s personality and create a more inviting, warm and special atmosphere for the wedding attendants. Gazebo constructions provide with a beautiful natural setting that doesn’t need much ornamentation though. But those who want to make it all look even more personalised and unique can add a few extra things of their own. An outdoor location allows a couple to use more of their favourite items and accessories to dress up the space according to their own vision.

The columns of the gazebo can be adorned with blooms or hanging bouquets, mason jars, vases, pots or other unique recipients. Or, if you prefer something more modern, use ribbons and bows.

Fabrics are great alternatives for those who want to add a romantic touch to their wedding. Lace is also special and it can suit a light and airy outdoors décor. If you want a more dramatic look, use velvet and satin. Create curtains and obtain a more spectacular entrance.

Make sure you ask about all the things that you are allowed to do with the gazebo.

Peacock Wedding Theme

Your love for birds could be easily included in your wedding theme. Based on this interest of yours, a peacock wedding concept would be a very interesting concept to go for. The lovely shades of purple, gold, green and turquoise can really add a touch of elegance to your wedding reception.

Print invitations with the peacock motif on the cardstock, or choose artificial peacock feathers which can be pinned on the invite. You can also consider customizing the invitations by using abstract pictures of peacocks. Adding peacock designs to the bridesmaid’s attire can also be done.

As for your look, choose peacock detailed shoes or a bouquets mace entirely out of faux peacock feathers. These feathers can also be added among the flowers you decide to include in the bridal arrangement. Even the groom can wear a peacock inspired tie. It’s all in the little details.

Think about using impressive table decorations such as tall peacock bouquets mixed with long flower stems.

Fill the vases with colored gems and add the stems. The peacock elements can also be scattered around the tables and to enhance this look, add a square shaped mirror under the centerpieces. If you’re looking for way to balance out these bright colors, go for white candles. Such decorations will add a subtle and romantic glow to your tables. Another simple way to create peacock inspired decorations is to use them to adorn a tiered tray on which cupcakes can be displayed

Cheap Wedding Flower Centerpieces

Are you looking for ways to cut down the wedding costs? If so, then it’s seems like you’ve come to the right place. We have a few ideas for you in this sense. One of the most difficult aspects to plan for a wedding and keep the budget within its normal limits is the reception décor. Now, the final expenses on this aspect depend on the venue, amplitude and type of wedding each one of you is planning. The more luxurious and large the event is, the more expensive everything will be. This is why you need to recalculate things considering these coordinates.

Those who are on a budget must think ahead and do a little research before spending their money on expensive items. Look for the best deal on everything you buy and don’t hesitate to use your imagination and sense of creativity. Planning cheap centerpieces for a wedding reception can be a fun activity of the couple and those who are involved in the process. You can use cheap flowers to obtain a fresh and elegant-looking décor for your wedding. It doesn’t have to be an elaborated wedding in order to be a successful event. It’s not all about the aesthetical factor, and you know that. The centerpieces you’re using can be simple and stylish. You probably know that in modern weddings, less is more! So, don’t throw yourself in big expenses you can’t honor just to create a pompous reception.

Choosing a color scheme isn’t just about picking a color;

 it’s about setting a style. Where does color first get infused? It starts out with color in the invitations, the color of the bridesmaid dresses, the embellishments for the groomsmen, the tablecloths, the flowers, the cake and, ultimately, the lighting.

What does color do? It sets a tone, a mood and an energy.
I’ve always said you should not go beyond three colors: any more than that can result in a look that’s a little too juvenile or a joke. lol... So either pick three different colors or variations of one overall color — if the latter is the case, you can have more than three shades (e.g. five or seven shades of blue).
Here are some of my favorite color palettes

Blue
it’s soothing, calming and it of course fits in with “something blue” which should definitely be in your wedding. Think about infusing blue with multiple shades of this hue, along with white and silver or pewter (but not both).

Red, Orange, and Pink
Another color scheme you could go with is a combination of fire engine red, Hermés orange and really bright fuchsia pink . These are the perfect colors for a bright, fun party, and set the tone for that festive feeling.

Neutrals
Considering a classic approach? Classic to me is whites with ivory and a touch of pewter or silver — super refined and very traditional.

Old-World Baroque
Include tones of gold, copper and ivory. If you want to be daring, you can some deep jewel tones, which would be either (not both) a deep burgundy or a deep midnight blue.

Diamond White
A modern color scheme is pure diamond white across the board — literally just one color. If you wish, sprinkle in some accent colors, which could be metallic (no gold) and one strong color (e.g. purple, red, cobalt blue) — or simply a solid white paired with a metallic.

Purple
My favorite color trend for 2013-2014 is purples and lavenders. You can go from as deep as a quartz purple, which is a very deep, regal purple, to a traditional purple and a third tone of lavender or lilac. If you wanted to add an accent color, make it silver — am not sure about  gold paired with purples. Silver is a more classic, elegant choice.

A good rule of thumb: Don't overdo it. Stick with a variation of one hue or no more than three different colors. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself or your guests with too much color — leave some room to breathe — and dream. Now, exhale slowly — and get started.

Tent Wedding Decorations

The opportunity of planning the wedding outside is very tempting, especially for brides and grooms who want to go for a really cheerful and fun party. We always thought that weddings should be a joyous event, based on smiles and laughter. And we can’t imagine a more enjoyable wedding than an alfresco wedding! The idea of going outside the doors for a casual and dynamic D-day is very flattering.

There are so many unique wedding projects to get inspired from when making the décor and theme selections! It just depends on the type of event each one of you is planning. The décor is usually provided by the Mother Nature itself, free of charge! This is one of the biggest advantages of taking your wedding outdoors. But there are also risks to assume, like the weather. One can never tell if the weather will behave right or not. Even those who handle this field can’t make a true forecast on this subject.lol

 

 

There is nothing more unpredictable than the weather! In a moment it can be sunny and bright and in a second it can get cloudy and windy. If  your wedding occurs in summer, you have more chances to enjoy a beautiful time outdoors. If you can’t predict the weather you can at least prevent an unpleasant situation. And how you can do that? By choosing a backup plan!

We suggest you look for a venue that has both an indoors and outdoors location to exploit for your party. You can use them both, regardless of the fastidiousness of the weather. You can have the ceremony outdoors, in a beautiful garden or park, and then move for a more elegant and stylish reception inside the doors. There are many places out there that feature these facilities.
