Adding Style To A Wedding
A couple’s wedding day should be a special day to remember. This is why people will go to any lengths to make it a grand occasion. They will choose the best dress, venue, food, music and flowers to make their day an unforgettable one. However, it is often the little things that can make a wedding unforgettable.
At your chosen reception venue, your coordinator will discuss color schemes with you for your tables. Unless you have a color in mind, they will often advise you go with either white or cream tablecloths and napkins, as these are neutral colors. Most brides today do have an idea for their own color schemes. It may be possible that the venue may supply the bride’s color, but in the event that that is not possible, table linen can be rented in all shades from a seperate source. By ensuring that the tablecloths and napkins match, you will create a definite air of elegance to the reception hall. One thing that most people wouldn’t notice, but will if it is there, is to add chair covers. They can be in either a matching or complimentary color and will definitely tie in the whole room in with the rest of the wedding color scheme.
All traditional weddings will offer water goblets on the tables. By adding a slice of lemon to each glass will give it a special touch. Likewise you could consider adding a strawberry to the champagne flutes for the wedding toast. Your guests will be impressed with these little details added to the wedding planning.
The food has to be the best part of the wedding reception. Everybody looks forward to savoring the delicious delights that grace the tables. Welcome your guests with a pre dinner cocktail hour. Usually you will find a variety of spirits and mixers served but why not greet the guests with a margarita fountain. A small pasta station is becoming quite a popular addition to the cocktail hour. A small table with just a couple of different pastas and sauces is a great way to keep hunger pangs at bay before the wedding feast. Once the main meal is over, rather than serving individual cofees, consider a coffee buffet with different types of coffee on offer. Again these are not too expensive items to add, but your guests will remember them.
Setting the stage with special extras is the best way to create a memorable and elegant wedding. Try to tie in the color scheme by renting matching table linens and chair covers. Add lemon wheels to water goblets and strawberries to champagne flutes. Offer special additions before and after dinner such as a drink fountain, pasta station, or coffee buffet. Choose one or all of these recommendations to have a truly elegant wedding.
