So you have a theme. Butterflies, Tiffany & Co, Plains, Trains & Automobiles, Carnival… etc that’s fine. I love a good theme. HOWEVER, for the love of décor and the pupils in everyone’s eyes you DO NOT have to have the theme in EVERYTHING:
-
Invitations
-
Linens
-
Centerpieces
-
Favors
-
Clothes
-
Hair accessories
-
Food
-
Napkins,
-
Specialty drink
-
Chair
-
Chair Accessories
-
Lighting
…catch my drift? No? Well look at it this way, let’s say you are having a Tiffany & Co. themed wedding. WELL. don’t get:
- Tiffany Blue table linen
- Tiffany Blue napkins
- Tiffany Blue chargers
- Tiffany Blue ( dyed) flowers – they don’t grow this color
- Tiffany Blue menu
- Tiffany Blue diamond ribbon for décor EVERYWHERE ( because it’s classy)
- Tiffany Blue chair cushion
- Tiffany Blue chair sash
- Tiffany Blue table number
- Tiffany Blue votives
- Tiffany Blue uplighting
Can you picture that? No really, close your eyes and try, i’ll wait…………………….. ……………………… hurts doesn’t it! NOW if you do something like:
- Tiffany Blue linen
- White napkins
- Clear/Mirrored chargers
- White flowers
- White Menu with the typeface or details in Tiffany Blue
- Black chiavari chair with white chair cushion ( why black you ask? Well.. why not. mix it up a little)
- Tiffany Blue color table number with white details
- Silver mercury or plain sheer votives
- Hurricane Candles
- Burn the Tiffany Blue diamond wrap
- Tiffany Blue Gift box Favor
- Amber up lighting and switch to Tiffany Blue for the tun up time.
Go ahead picture it. I’ll wait…………………….. ………………………… ………………………… ……….. you see the difference. Hurts less doesn’t it.
You can get your point across without the overkill. A little bit here and a little bit there goes a long long loooooooooong way. So take it easy on the theme and the theme will be very good to you. Trust me on this:)
Happy Planning:)
