Elegance is set to continue for
many years to come, with couples
preferring to have simple, opulent
and elegant affairs, selecting
materials and colors that speak
modern glamour. Achieving the
look of sophistication doesn't need
to cost a fortune...the savvy bride
can achieve elegance and opulence
through simplicity.
Chair covers are being
substituted for good quality chairs
(at the same price) and crisp white
table linen is accented by exquisite
color elements in the napkins.
The elegant white theme is then
carried through to the flowers and
stationery.
Specialist lighting is key to
creating complimentary ambiance and
color accents. Up lights are being
used to light marquee exteriors or
line the path of the red carpet
leading into the marquee.
Vases and water fountains are being
lined with battery operated crystals
to change the mood when the sun
sets. Traditional table
centers are being replaced with
elaborate candelabras with beautiful
flowers.
Black is
making a come-back!!! Brides are
dressing their bridesmaids in black
cocktail dresses (which can also be worn
at other functions after the wedding),
thereby avoiding the challenge of
selecting colors for bridesmaids dresses
that don't clash with the varying skin
tones of the bridesmaids. Black
flatters all figures, perfectly
compliments the groomsmens black tuxs'
and brings focus to the most important
piece of wedding attire - your amazing
bridal gown!
Couples are spending more on
their entertainment and are getting
creative in their ideas...they are
performing professionally
choreographed routines for their
first dance and are hiring
additional entertainment
professionals such as string
quartets and jazz trios to keep
their guests toes tapping.
For the ultimate in chauffeur
driven entrances, arrival in a
luxurious Bentley or Rolls Royce is
the symbol of sophistication and
style.
Nothing is left to chance,
everything is achievable...today's
savvy couples know what they want
and how to get it!
