Event Coordinator Anne Bryan of Creative Events
suggests some ways to add panache to your
wedding celebration.
Bryan suggests tall décor elements to add depth and
interest to your reception venue. Define your space with
15-foot tall braches or drapery around the perimeter,
creating a cozy and intimate environment.
Instead of the customary champagne toast, consider serving
a dessert wine that complements the flavor of your wedding
cake. Or even a coffee bar!
Wedding shoes can be nearly as important as your gown!
M ake sure they are comfortable and make a statement.
Feminine handbags, jewelry and lipstick holders unify your
fashion statement and are great ideas for bridesmaid gifts as
well. We love this tiny heart box: perfect for a special
wedding-day wish!
Instead of the typical bridal shower or bridesmaids
luncheon, throw a lovely tea party. Splurge on homemade
scones, tasty finger sandwiches and decadent chocolates.
O ffer mini tins of tea as a favor.
Green is the New Black: Eco-friendly wedding touches and
registries are all the rage. Many retailers offer earth-friendly
registry items. One of Bryan’s favorite sites for sustainable
products is branchhome.com.
Rather than having each reception table feature identical
centerpieces, consider a collection of three different styles.
Designs in the same color scheme work best to unify your
décor.
Dancing the night away works up an appetite! Why not
offer your guests something to take with them at the end
of the evening such as sliders or mini grilled cheese
sandwiches?
