FLORALS + LIGHTING

OK, so you are to the point where you really need to focus on the decor part of your reception. You and your florist are talking about the beautiful flowers that will be used in your bouquets, at the ceremony and of course the reception site.

What about lighting? Can't afford pin spots or up-lights around the room? Can't afford draping for your reception? In fact even if you can't afford the chair covers or pretty ballroom chairs, there is a way of decorating and making it gorgeous.

Most floral designers now have handy tricks up their sleeves to add those extra touches to your centerpieces. For instance, the arrangement shown here by Charleston Florals is positioned on custom light boxes. The bowl holds clear beading, water and beautiful flowers wrapped around the inside of the bowl. This look is bot simple and clean. It would suit both contemporary and more whimsical looks equally. The illumination of the lighting adds debt to the arrangement and a romantic look throughout the room. Something so simple, yet so beautiful and when creating a look like this, the focus is all on your centerpieces.

WOW FACTOR LINENS

WILDFLOWER LINENS

So, you're planning the most important day of your lives and you want it to be exceptional. You want your guests to walk away from your wedding day and remember all the major highlights of the day. Your grand entrance, the food, the entertainment. But don't forget the most important part of all...the decor.
With the economy on most people's minds nowadays, it is easy to see why a lot of people would think that the decor can do without certain aspects that normally would have been included. I cannot tell you how many weddings we've created where the decor is the thing that a lot of brides hold back on. To me, the decor is one of those things that you don't have to take a second mortgage out for, but it is the first thing that your guests will see when they arrive. So why wouldn't you want it to be spectacular?
One of the things I try to tell our brides is splurge a bit more on the linens and make a statement. We can always created centerpieces with a little less florals and a lot more candle light. But if the linens are just plain old linens, then no one will remember.

I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite sites for inspiration when choosing things like Chair Covers. Imagine beautiful linens with gorgeous chair covers like the ones on this site. Drop your fabulous candle lit centerpieces and voila! Exquisite!
