expert advice
Pay close attention to the fine details. Some jobs aren’t what the decorator would normally do but since the couple is asking for certain details the decorator will do everything they can to make the couples ideas and vision a reality. Advice from Cover Girlz.
Dean Ross of Event Lighting suggests, "Use pinspots to illuminate centerpieces, head table and cake table. Use rich colors and exciting patterns of light around the perimeter of the room or on dance floors and ceilings to change an ordinary room into one with ambience." He adds, "what is also popular is creating custom gobos of the couple's monogram or names to be projected onto walls or the dance floor."
Angela Klodnick of L'Nique says, "The newest trend we see is an integration of different types of fabrics as well as textures. You can create a stunning look mixing satins, striped, crushed and organza fabrics. Take it one step further and choose one color but vary the shades. By using different colors and fabric type you can create an atmosphere that is trendy and uniquely yours. If this sounds too risky, do not be scared. A professional can give you expert advise to help the vision come to
life"
"Be sure about the amount of space you have," advises Charlotte Miller of Miller's Party Rental. "You may want to have someone come out to the property to recommend the tent size. It's basically like you're setting up your own reception facility, so you need to allow space for tables, chairs, the entertainment, dance floor, etc."
Brides are creating a focal point for their reception by using unique styles of head tables. A "king's table" dressed in specialty linens is one of the newer trends . The perfect compliment for the head table, whatever the configuration, is to use a lighted backdrop. When you walk in the room, it will set the tone for the evening and take your breath away! Advice from Sitting Pretty Linens.
"You can take a space - any space - and with a little imagination turn it into a dream come
true," says John Bibbo, Jr. of Event Source. "Focus your energy on combining the patterns, colors, styles and creativity that will define your perfect day."
"The decor of any event should reflect the personal desires of the Bride & Groom," adds Brett Kaufman of Designs of Distinction. "When deciding on your wedding decorations, meet with the designer and tell them what you would want but also make sure your ideas fit within your budget."
