Monday, March 8th, 2010

All seasons have their advantages and disadvantages when organizing a wedding, but Fall has so much to offer. It is a beautiful season and you will still have the glow of a summer sun tan. The rich colors of fall combine wonderfully with the white or ivory of a wedding dress.

Deciding the color theme can be difficult, but remember that you can run the color theme through the whole wedding outfit and include it in any shawls, wraps or even dress accessories.

1. The color of your flowers – People often think of spring colors when they are deciding on the color for their wedding bouquets, but red is the established color of romance! This association makes red a great base color for a fall wedding. The red can be mixed with deep oranges and saffron colored flowers and rich green leaves to form a warm romantic bouquet.

2. Colors For Your Ribbons – Hand tied wedding bouquets are very popular, these offer a great opportunity to add an extra color to your wedding color theme. If your bouquet is going to be deep rich colors, you may want to choose a color which will sparkle or lighten the look. This can be achieved with the metallic looking color range, especially a gold color.

Great flower decorations on a shoestring

After years of searching, you’ve finally found your soul mate. It wasn’t easy at first but you did it.

As your wedding day approaches, however, you’re afraid – very afraid. The reason? You might go overboard on your decorating budget and spend the rest of the month eating at 7-11!

Fear not for I have the answer. Below are some tips to help you save money on flowers courtesy of Meredith Waga Perez, owner of NYC’s Belle Fleur.

Flowers are nice to look at and make any wedding special. But filling vases with expensive flowers can cost much. To get the same effect without spending much, float three flower heads in a crystal bowl. This will impress people and save you a bundle.

Want your bride to walk on roses like a queen? Or looking for something to scatter at tables to accent those lovely candlesticks? Instead of going for full blossoms, use rose petals.

Perez said 15 roses will give you about 200 petals – which is a good amount to begin with. For a bigger bargain, buy roses by the pound and walk like a god!

What You Need To Know About Hiring A Marquee

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Marquee hires have grown remarkably since their circus-tent years. Today, they are complex structures that are the picture of elegance that enhance any landscape setting. They can accommodate the largest of guest lists to the smallest, with enough room for head tables, dance floors, banquet areas, and spacey walking room.

They are easily adaptable to fit any party theme and you, as the host, will find it a relief in knowing they are easy to assembly and dismantle. Most companies will accommodate your wishes of dates and times of assembly and dismantling, and the key thing to remember here is that there are no tie-down ropes for your guests to trip over.

By using marquee hires for your event, you will keep in tradition of using a hall. The company supplying the marquee will offer to rent you tables, chairs, flooring, and even lights for your party. If you choose to go elsewhere to decorate your setting, that is your choice as well. Youll also be pleased in knowing that you can use their catering services or referrals for your food and beverage needs. All in all, you will end up saving a significant amount of money rather than wasting it on a hall where your guests cannot experience a marquee party atmosphere.
