You re stressed about every detail of your big day, well every detail except the amazing decor and favors for your guests. There s more certainty in those details than there is in that wiley groom you ve chosen. And there should be, it took long enough to dress the chairs and rule out that mint boxes, while an option, are not one you ll be favoring any time soon.
The biggest day of your life should look as dressed up or as care free as you are, but the most important thing is that it compliments the people it represents. Adding wow to your wedding decor shouldn t be difficult. Start with your color choice. If you choose pastels adding a vibrancy in the same shade will create eye catching contrast and it can be as simple as a pastel purple table cloth with a bright rich shade of purple flower in the centerpieces. Choosing rich jewel tones for your colors is very dramatic so go with a clean white or cream for a canvas your hues will stand out on. Draping textured fabric is a great way to mask any unsightly or undesirable attribute that may be hanging from the ceiling or the walls of the hall. Fabrics and dishes with patterns can also be a cost effective way to dress up a table arrangement.
Let s talk centerpieces. Flower arrangements can stand on their own, but there are many options to consider. Fish are generally not an acceptable choice as it leads to mess when children are involved and often becomes a scene that violates ethical animal treatment. Floating candles are delightful. Consult those in charge of renting the space for rules on their acceptance of open flame. A table runner with small groupings of floral may be all that is necessary to keep your guest s complimenting your impecable taste. Don t be afraid to go with something unconventional. It could be the next trend.
Place settings don t have to be elaborate to be pleasing. Stacking the salad plate on top of the dinner plate creates depth on a flat surface. Pick an interesting napkin ring to give the setting some jewelry. Utensils are useful, but they can have another purpose that adds to your setting. Be creative. Fan out the utensils on the plate and stick a personalized place card in the fork tongs.
When it comes to favors for your guests make it personal not cheesy. Whatever you choose to give them make sure it has a purpose. Functional favors will always make a lasting impression. Mints are edible but not exactly impression worthy. Giving your guest s treats can be good. Get good quality edibles like fine chocolates or even their own individual serving of an appetizer that melds with your meal choice. It s an opportunity to continue a theme you may have in your menu. Of course you don t have to spend money on more food. A candle with a momento attached becomes an accent to their home. A Christmas ornament with a sentimental saying can be a great choice for a winter wedding. Be sure to choose a saying or quote that pertains to life not the specific moment of your wedding, this ensures it s use by your guests instead of getting tossed. Ultimately it s your day, if you re happy the mood will be enjoyable for all.
