Wedding Style
Elegance is set to continue in 2010, with couples preferring to have simple, opulent and elegant affairs, selecting materials and colours 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 colour 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 colour 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 on the catwalks of Europe. 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 colours 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!
