Your Wedding Cake:
Light up your wedding cake with strands of lights and
surround your cake with candles in crystal candle sticks.
Monogram cake toppers with Swarovski
Crystals (in colors or clear)
Pink Peonies on the top of your cake.
Decorated Ceilings:
Drape beads from ceiling chandeliers.
Crystals suspended from the ceiling on ribbons.
Organza fabric draped from the ceiling, especially from tent
ceiling.
Bead strands draped from the ceiling.
Wisteria cascading from the ceiling.
Orchids are everywhere:
Orchids tied to the backs of chairs.
Towering glass cylinder vases with water-submerged orchids.
Orchids tied with ribbons around your wrist.
Orchids placed on the top of fabric dinner napkins.
Silk or Live Orchids on your cake.
Orchids cascading from silver candelabra centerpieces.
Beautiful cascading bouquet of orchids.
Orchids in your hair.
Put Beads on everything:
A white dress with pink beading on the lace.
Silk purses with beads and diamonds for the bride.
A rose in hair with dangling beads or crystals.
A fabric napkin with several stands of beads tied around it.
Bead strands draped from centerpieces.
Out of Town Guests:
Leave welcome baskets or bags at your guest's hotels.
Send out of town guests travel guides for the city your
wedding is in.
Illuminate everything at your reception you can:
Put strands of lights in your centerpieces.
Tulle with white lights and/or a floral garland for draping
between pews and decorating
banisters or ceilings.
Use Candles for a romantic glow:
Have silver candelabras of varying heights-put floral
centerpieces in them and tall candles.
Tea light candles on reception tabletops in combination with
floral centerpieces.
Use tall candle holders (crystal, silver or gold) and tall
white candles.
Pillar Candle arrangements with candles of different
heights.
Beautiful organza ribbon tied in a bow around pillar
candles.
Your Wedding Gown:
Fabric or lace roses attached to your bridal gown-to the
side of your waist.
I saw a beautiful glistening rose brooch attached to the
side of the waist of one gown.
A colorful ribbon wrapped around your waist and tied to one
side, attach a brooch to the knot.
Several Glistening Brooches going down the back of your
dress.
A white ribbon tied around your waist to one side. Attach a
fluffy bow that looks like a rose to the knot of the ribbon.
A beautiful look is for the Bride's Dress to have a hint of
color with a ribbon or flower that matches the bridesmaid's
dresses..
Your Bouquet:
Your initials in rhinestones placed in your bouquet.
Put silk butterflies in your bouquet (especially if you are
having a butterfly release).
Cattleya Orchids in your wedding bouquet.
There is a new bridal flower called Blushing Bride (a
hydrangea).
I haven't seen this yet, but I think it would be beautiful:
a little string of battery operated
lights strung throughout your bouquet.
Table Decorations:
White tablecloths with a table runner going down the middle
of the table (use your
wedding colors).
Fabric covered small hat boxes filled with roses.
Wine Glasses in the colors of your wedding.
Fan Folded fabric dinner napkins placed on the dinner plate.
Rose petals scattered on the table.
A Centerpiece Bowl with flowers and a single tapered candle
in the middle.
Tall slender vases with beautiful flowers. Roses, Orchids.
Sprinkle medium sized clear marbles (or in your wedding
colors) on the table top in the middle of the table.
Pink Peonies in beautiful vases.
Florals in the same color tones but of different sizes.
For a beautiful centerpiece, put the heads of roses,
carnations, hydrangeas and peonies on a tiered dessert stand
(silver or crystal).
Beads & Jewels in flower arrangements.
Balloons add height to a centerpiece.
This looks so elegant. Place your folded linen napkin on top
of the dinner plate and place a single rose on top of the
napkin. Use your wedding colors. For a more dramatic look
use an orchid.
A crystal centerpiece with chandelier type beads.
The Food at Your Wedding:
Have gourmet food stations. This way you won't have long
lines at one buffet table.
Leaving the Ceremony:
Give guests sparklers to wave as you run to your Limousine
or Carriage.
Personalize ribbon wedding wand for your guests to wave
(wand by Favor Affair).
Dazzle them at the Reception:
Start the first dance off with a traditional slow song and
then move right into a fast
song (take special dance lessons). This should get the floor
full of dancing guests.
Decorate chairs with floral swags, ribbons, or bows.
An organza sash tied around the chairs at your reception
(tied in the back into a bow).
Guests sign a scroll instead of a guest book.
Outdoor Weddings:
Dangle beautiful ribbons in your wedding colors from tree
limbs.
White parasols for guests at an outdoor wedding.
For outdoor weddings use low centerpieces (wind).
Attach
beautiful bows to tree limbs.
Hang crystal chandeliers from tree branches (lighted of
course).
Hang colorful paper lanterns from tree branches.
Wedding Table Favors:
Wrap the gift box your favor comes in with pretty ribbons
and bows also add beads.
Little silver gift bags with tissue paper to match the
colors of your wedding with your favor inside.
A beautiful beaded brooch as a napkin ring.
At your reception have small corsages and boutonnieres for
each guest. This will make everyone at your wedding feel and
look special.
Sentimental Ideas:
Guests sign a silver serving tray with an engraving pen or
tool instead of a guest book.
A very sweet and special surprise: Your bouquet has 2
detachable floral sprays. One to
Be given to the Bride's Mother (the Father of the bride
hands it to the Mother of the Bride
After he walks the Bride down the aisle). The other spray is
given to the Grooms Mother as you walk down the aisle as Man
and Wife.
Instead of a long head table, the bride and groom are at
their own table.
Beach Weddings:
Place shells in centerpiece arrangements-place water in the
vase also.
For a beach wedding use sea shells as name card holders.
Garden Weddings:
Pink is a great color for garden weddings-use varying
shades.
Your Invitations:
Enclose a save the date magnet, for your friends to place on
their refrigerator.
Colors:
Combine the colors black, white and pink in your wedding.
Use stripes or dots.
Jewelry:
A Swarovski Crystal brooch on a sheer ribbon around your
neck.
Flower Girl:
Unique gift for your flower girl that she will love: a
Bridal Barbie.
Have several flower girls. Each dressed alike or slightly
different.
Your Hair:
Hair jewels in the back of your hair.
Veils trimmed with beading, rhinestones or crystals.
Your shoes:
Beads or diamonds on your shoes.
