Brides are always looking for ways to make their wedding day fun and unique.  They want to inject that different design aspect to their decor.  One table design that is becoming very popular is using long table arrangements in the reception table design instead of all 5′ or 6′ round tables.  Using this type of table allows you to do different things with your tablescape.  There is more space to work with so there is more opportunity to add personal touches to the decor.  A more contemporary design is to use the same flowers repeating along the center of the table.  Or you can alternate the design with flowers and candles.  Table runners can easily be added to dress up the tables as well.  You should be cautious of  adding centerpieces that block your guests’ view across the table.  With long tables, the distance across the table is shorter than if they were sitting at a round table.

Here are a few tablescapes to get your creative juices flowing…

                        We looked on Teleflora’s website for the meaning of the flower:

                         THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF “anemone”
The name anemone comes from the Greek word for “windflower.” According to
Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite’s tears as she mourned
the death of Adonis. Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it
that when the anemone closes its petals, it’s a signal that rain is approaching. Still
other mythology connects the anemone to magical fairies, who were believed to sleep
under the petals after they closed at sunset. Perhaps it’s because of this magical and
 prophetic tales that today in the language of flowers, anemones represent anticipation.

 

Here is some eye candy for you {smile}:

Adding details to a wedding or event is what sets it apart and makes it special.  A really special detail is signage.  I came across a vendor who creates  cottage vintage style signs – The Family Attic Shoppe.  This family run business has been making these signs for decades.  Each sign is unique.  They can be used in your wedding to add that special touch and detailing that is an unexpected pleasure for your guests.

 

Detail #1:  Welcome your guests with a beautiful sign.

Detail #2: If your wedding and reception is at the same venue, provide signage to show where each part of the wedding is being held.  This style lends itself to beach weddings, Private home/tented weddings, country chic/farm/barn weddings, and weddings held at vineyards/wineries.

Detail #3:  Have the Ring Bearer carry this sign before you walk down the aisle.  How cute would it be to have him say the words “Here comes the Bride!!!”.

 

Detail #4:  Take a photograph with the “Thank You” sign and use it as your thank you cards after the wedding.

Detail #5:  Take a photograph with the “Just Married” sign to remember your big finale.

 

 

Until the Wedding Bells Ring….

Accent the aisle with an unique lighting design. 

  Hang miniature lanterns on the center aisle chairs.

Place simple flower arrangements down the aisle. 

  Have your florist or designer create a neat pattern of roses down the center aisle.
