Ideas For A Chic Wedding

By: Kathy Milligan

A couple's wedding day should be a special day to remember. This is why people will go to any lengths to make it a grand occasion. They will choose the best dress, venue, food, music and flowers to make their day an unforgettable one. However, it is often the little things that can make a wedding unforgettable.

At your chosen reception venue, your coordinator will discuss color schemes with you for your tables. Unless you have a color in mind, they will often advise you go with either white or cream tablecloths and napkins, as these are neutral colors. Most brides today do have an idea for their own color schemes. It may be possible that the venue may supply the bride's color, but in the event that that is not possible, table linen can be rented in all shades from a seperate source. By ensuring that the tablecloths and napkins match, you will create a definite air of elegance to the reception hall. One thing that most people wouldn't notice, but will if it is there, is to add chair covers. They can be in either a matching or complimentary color and will definitely tie in the whole room in with the rest of the wedding color scheme.

If it is a traditional wedding, then most likely there will be water goblets on every table. Consider adding a lemon wheel to each glass. This is not an expensive addition, but it looks like it is. Along the same lines, consider adding a strawberry to all glasses for the champagne toast. This costs slightly more than the lemon wheel but it looks and tastes beautiful. Guests will be impressed with the amount of thought put into the small details of 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.

Setting the stage with special extras is the best way to create a memorable and elegant wedding. Try to tie in the color scheme by renting matching table linens and chair covers. Add lemon wheels to water goblets and strawberries to champagne flutes. Offer special additions before and after dinner such as a drink fountain, pasta station, or coffee buffet. Choose one or all of these recommendations to have a truly elegant wedding.
