Vintage Tea Party
Colour Scheme: Gold, Bronze, Floral & Pearl
To bring a touch of English refinery to your wedding, think all things Alice in Wonderland, with a touch of George Elliot period glamour. Pretty porcelain tea pots, tea cups and saucers decorated with dainty floral designs will make the perfect tableware and you can use vintage silver trays as the basis for your centre pieces. For a touch of eccentric tea party glamour, use pearl beads as decorations for the chairs or tables.
When it comes to the floral arrangements, keep it simple with one floral arrangement per table, displayed in a glass jar with ribbons, and a handmade bouquet for bride. Obviously, the wedding breakfast should be a delicious Afternoon Tea spread, with finger sandwiches, scrumptious cakes, scones and of course champagne. For a fitting musical accompaniment- a jazz band will really set the tone.
Nicola’s Top Tip: A large golden mirror frame will really spruce up your table plan, and an old suitcase makes the perfect container for gifts and cards.
Rustic Woodland Theme
Colour Scheme: Mocha, Brown & Green
For a perfectly pretty rustic themed wedding, think hessian table runners and chair sashes and beautiful wooden centre pieces. To add a quirky touch to you table arrangements, why not try personalised wooden table confetti engraved with the names of the bride and groom? For the floral arrangements, how about a flower crown for bride and jugs filled to the brim with wild flowers for the tables. For the music, a harpist will make the ideal whimsical accompaniment.
Nicola’s Top Tip: Adorn the tables with an array of white candles and tea lights in various shapes and sizes as their soft light will lend a dreamlike quality to your tables.
Traditional
Colour Scheme: White & Dusty Pink
2017 will see the return of the traditionally elegant wedding. Think candelabras; three tiered iced wedding cakes; bridal bouquets brimming with roses; rose petals down the aisle; white chair covers; lanterns with floral collars; and a traditional piano accompaniment. A traditional fairy tale wedding.
Nicola’s Top Tip: Stick to white or pink roses for your bridal bouquet, as these are the most traditional choices and symbolise love, joy and beauty.
Glitz & Glamour
Colour Scheme: Gold, Silver & Red
Another up and coming theme is all out Hollywood glamour! Go mad with glittery decorations, sequin table runners and large LED letters, maybe Mr & Mrs? You could also adorn your tables with diamante table confetti, and oversized cocktail glasses in place of vases. A photo booth and a red carpet will bring a soupçon of star-studded style and a live band will really set things off in style!
