It’s all about using vibrant colors at the table

Paint a picture perfect scene with a splash of vivid colors in orange, yellow, and red - all inspired by the vigor of the Spanish culture. When selecting flowers to use for table centerpieces, go with cheerful and colorful ones such as gerbera daisies, roses, dahlias, or tulips. To assemble a quick yet classy floral arrangement, simply find beautiful flower bowls or vases in modern geometric designs. As an example, a round shaped glass bowl filled with bright red daisies can look stunning on its own. Or, a long rectangular vase in brushed steel teeming with dazzling orange dahlias makes a stylish statement without much fuss.

To add additional contrast to the table, decorate it with accents that have unique details. Some examples could be a decorative crystal, or gold place frame to hold your guest’s seating cards. You can also apply this same idea to other elements at the table such as using an acrylic plate charger, gold trimmed dinnerware, or elegant china with a Spanish-inspired design.

Party Tip #6: For a fancy presentation, present the frames with a seating card created in calligraphy or with a fancy script font. Tie the frames with a gorgeous ribbon and they’re set to go.

Give a little gift as a memorable favor

End the evening by thanking guests with an edible favor that highlights your heritage. Give goody boxes filled with tasty Spanish wedding cookies. Place a nice favor tag with each box that says “muchas gracias.”

Party Tip #7: Sending guests home with a box of mouth-watering goodies makes a great treat that will surely be eaten the following day! When guests get up for breakfast the next day, this goody box will also be a sweet reminder of your engagement party.
