4 Key Choices for Any Wedding or Event
Like any good design project, your event needs to start with a concept or theme. When choosing a design, make sure it represents you and the event. Keep it simple and clever; your event will not only look chic, it will save you the headache of planning and sourcing down the road.
Choosing Your Style:Elegant or rustic? Contemporary or traditional? A good place to start is your closet. Are you a ‘jeans and t-shirt’ or a ‘dress and high heels’ kind of girl? Do you want to make a bold statement, or be one with nature? Some of the best designs bring together unlikely combinations, like a wedding in a barn decorated with elegant modern accents. Remember to be subtle. Sometimes too much of a theme can feel over the top.
Choosing Your Colours:Look to the location, or a story, for your inspiration. For example, if he proposed in Thailand, bright vibrant colours in silk fabrics, with natural bamboo elements to add texture, might be a nice choice. Or if the ceremony is outdoors on our beautiful coastline, then red tones inspired by sockeye salmon and huckleberries paired with a cool turquoise representing the shore would be a winning combination.
Flowers, Flowers, Flowers:Stick to the season. Your dollar will go farther, and the overall look will be beautiful. This doesn’t mean the flowers need to be grown locally (although it is a nice touch). It just needs to suit the mood and the weather. Summer flowers tend to be soft and airy, where winter flowers are more contemporary and tailored.

Décor, Party Favours, and Gifts:Keep referring back to the style and colour theme you created and you won’t get lead astray by all the fancy photos in the wedding books. This is where something a little unexpected can really make the night memorable for your guests. Perhaps it’s as simple as a single orchid bloom floating in a martini glass to match the table centre. Or maybe it’s a table of your favorite treats, loose teas, or flower petals beautifully displayed in glass ginger jars with keepsake bags for your guests to fill and take home and enjoy.
The best advice is to be creative and give every detail a little special touch –
