Choosing the right wedding accents!
by Faiza
Q. My wedding day is getting closer and closer and I do not have a clue as to what color or theme I should choose for the wedding decorations?
A. Well, my question to you is...are you getting married in spring, summer, fall or winter? As it is summer time right now I will focus my answer on it. But what does my answer have to do anything with the seasons you say? The reason I mention the seasons is this: to keep it simple and charming, use a seasonal theme for your wedding.
Summer time is when a lot of beautiful flowers that you won't readily see year round are present. I am speaking specifically of daffodils, tulips or irises and daisies or sunflowers! These flowers could make a wonderful decoration not only for your reception tables but also for your bridal bouquet. When you decide on the color, the rest of the decorations will be easier to pick out since you can use the the reception table decorations as the main focal point for the color at your wedding and then use contrasting colors for the napkins and the other smaller decorations.
If you choose not to go with a seasonal theme for your wedding, you can always do a wedding theme based on your favorite color. What about a light pink, or a beautiful pale yellow or a bright red! Make sure and use some contrasting colors as well to balance it out. You could even pick out your favorite wedding favor to come in the same color theme as your wedding! There are so many options now available. You can now order samples to be sure of what the color looks like in real life. Weddings and Favors is a great company to order your favors from because they give you an option to order samples!
