Choose Table Decor Marked by Unique Textures
and Colors
Start planning the decor by using crystal-based
accessories such rhinestone
placecard holders or votive
candle holders. Since these products are
made of glass and silver, their unique combination
is a great way to produce glistening effects
without having to spend a lot on decorations.
You can also save a lot by using creative
ways of arranging table objects. As an example,
when working with accents such as your card
holders, you can display them in a heart configuration
whereby the card holders are formed into a
heart, while at the center rests a beautiful
glass or silver vase filled with romantic
roses. Alternatively, you can also position
them together with your wedding cake, which
is an increasingly trendy decorating approach.
Find Inventive Ways of Using fabrics
For a Moroccan-inspired wedding reception
inspired by jewels, decorative fabrics and
textiles can provide the single best way
of creating an impression, since they serve
as perfect complements to the appearance
of glass and metal. One of the best ways
to achieve this is by using sheer organza.
You can find organza fabrics nowadays that
have been embellished with beads and embroidery
- many of which can be found at stores selling
ethnic home accents. You can also apply
the use of fabric to items such as your
wedding favors by utilizing organza
(see picture on left) as
packaging. Also known as organza rounds,
these round cut organza fabrics are an elegant
and convenient way of wrapping up odd-sized
objects and gifts such as fruits, jars,
and bottles. Try to find them in bold colors
of olive, burnt orange, and fuchsia to create
an exotic feel to the favors. For a Moroccan
themed party, these wraps are excellent
for presenting colorful Moroccan tea glasses
filled with candy.
How To Elevate the Look and Feel of An Event
Without Breaking the bank
Creating a captivating look and feel for
a luxurious event need not be an expensive
undertaking. Often, it is just a matter
of finding the right combination of elements
and coordinating them properly using your
imagination. These can include using unusual
shapes for creating drama, mirrors for adding
dimension, and brightly colored table accents
for producing highlights. For instance,
you can match the design motif of your place
card holders with your candle decorations.
You can also coordinate your table linens
or runners with your dinnerware by using
gold, silver, or clear plate chargers (i.e.,
wedding plate chargers) that can automatically
brighten up your reception tables even when
using a simple table cloth. Many of the
above ideas are ideal for an exotic themed
event wherein bright colors and textures
intermixed with unique shapes are used as
decorative elements.
