October 12, 2016
While Minimalist style has been making a GRAND statement this season, thanks to brides like Sophia Vergara, some over-the-top trends are now trending. Here are some spectacular ideas to a sophisticated and swank soiree.
Flower Power: Dramatic, whimsical and romantic floral displays are all the rage for chic spring and summer celebrations. Think Disney-like enchanted forests and gardens replete with majestic and cascading flowers and floral archways.
Posh Platforms: Consider setting up a temporary platform that will allow you to saunter across the pool or placing a temporary bridge across a lake for added ambiance.
Storybook backdrops: Pick a picturesque backdrop from your favorite fairytale and use it as a backdrop for your photos.
Cannons of Confetti or flower petals: As you walk the walk as husband and wife….treat guests to a shower of confetti or flower petals shot out of a cannon.
Warehouse Whimsy: Transform a warehouse, barn or industrial location into the wedding venue of your dreams with dramatic drapery, colorful uplighting, streetlamps and other eclectic accents, and plenty of greenery.
Outdoor elegance: Turn the outdoors into something “more” magical by adding extra ambiance with hanging fixtures, mix and match lanterns, etc.
Photo Opportunity: Use a variety of black and white engagement photos to create a collage or backdrop for your cocktail hour or reception
Special Effects: Consider using a fog machine to enhance the mood of your first dance as Mr. and Mrs.
Indoor effects: Bring the night sky inside with an elegant display of twinkling lights on the ceiling
Over-the-top exits: Consider riding off into the sunset on the back of a horse, or taking off in a hot air balloon, remember, when it comes to your wedding, depending on your budget (and your imagination), the sky’s the limit.
