Adding Style To A Wedding

by Kathy Milligan

Every couple wants their wedding day to be a special day to remember. That is why people tend to go all-out to make the occasion so grand. There are the major aspects of the wedding such as the dress, venue, music, food, and flowers that will all make the wedding memorable, but it is often the smaller details that can make a wedding truly spectacular.

When discussing colors with your coordinator at your wedding venue, you will probably be offered either cream or white as a color option for tablecloths and napkins. Nowadays, most brides do tend to develop their own color scheme and will plan everything around it. Certain colors of table linen may be provided by the venue or you can rent them from an independent firm. Having matching linen will add a certain style to the reception. You can even go a step further and add chair covers in either a matching or complementary shade. It isn’t something that people would notice if it were missing, but they will be sure to notice it once it’s there. This will help to tie in the reception room with the wedding color scheme.

All traditional weddings will offer water goblets on the tables. By adding a slice of lemon to each glass will give it a special touch. Likewise you could consider adding a strawberry to the champagne flutes for the wedding toast. Your guests will be impressed with these little details added to the wedding planning.

At every wedding reception it is the food that is looked forward to the most. Guests will always wait in anticipation as to the wonderous delights to tempt their taste buds with. It is now quite popular to have a cocktail hour before the main meal is served. Instead of serving the customary liquor and soda or juice why not welcome your guests with a margarita fountain. As a compliment, a small pasta station serving a few different pastas and sauces will be well received. Guests will appreciate staving of their hunger before the main meal. At the end of the meal, instead of the customary after dinner coffee, why not have a coffee buffet, where you can offer your guest different coffees. These are quite reasonably priced additions to consider and it will guarantee that your guests will comment favorably.

To create a totally chic look for your wedding set the stage with any or all of the special extras. You may even have other ideas that will set your wedding apart from all the others.
