Kate Middleton and Prince Williams royal nuptials on April 29 next year are set to reflect in weddings around the world for the next two years, with fairytale bling being the decorating style of choice.
According to the founder of Australias number one online wedding favours destination Pink Frosting and renowned wedding stylist, Kathryn Porritt, the English royal wedding will create princess fever that wont die down for some time yet.
Wedding tables are the center of attention during the reception, aside from the bride and the groom of course. Wedding tables should be carefully planned out, as it will be the focal point during most conversations and eating during the reception.
Wedding table decorations can be the highlight of your wedding theme, or can be a complementary alternative.
Here are some ideas to help you plan your wedding table decoration ideas:
1. For dimmer venues, use tealight candles in little glass boxes, to be placed along side each table setting. This adds a dreamy atmosphere while not making it too difficult for guests...
We are predicting that anything that glitters and is monogrammed will be the chic message for 2011 and 2012 brides, Kathryn said.
The royal wedding itself will no doubt be very respectful of the traditions and customs of the royal family, but the every day take on the style of fairytale wedding will be very glittery with lots of sparkling decorations and crystal and all stationery, decorations and wedding bomboniere monogrammed with the couples details to create a truly unique look, she continued.
Fit for a princess are dazzling acrylic diamonds, mirror bases on tables and crystal garlands dripping from high reception table centrepieces. Wedding invitations will feature embossed monograms and gold or platinum foiled personally-created motifs.
Kathryn suggested that brides inspired by the royal wedding can style their wedding favours along the same lines by reaching for Antique Acrylic Place Card Frames, a diamond like place card frame which doubles as both a place card on table settings for wedding receptions as well as beautiful miniature photo frames for your guests to take home and Crystal Diamond Shaped Tea Light Holders which cast a twinkling glow on wedding table settings as well as make a beautiful wedding bomboniere for guests.
On the complete opposite end of the scale, the other key trend for 2011 is a homely inspired wedding day - a more unique approach to weddings that reflects the personality of the bride and groom and all of those that they love.
Do it yourself and craft it yourself really is the theme of the moment in weddings, Kathryn said. We love that brides are embracing homespun traditions and their childhood loves and are hosting weddings where they play a critical role in every part of the day - from crafting the table centrepieces and bridal bouquet to asking their favourite aunt to embroider the table runners with their monogram.
She said that creating a personalised and home-spun wedding is fun - gather your bridesmaids around and get crafting wedding decorations, invitations, place cards and favours from the heart to give to guests who will really appreciate the gesture.
Some of our favourite home-spun ideas includes paper-craft bridal bouquets, tissue pom-pom decorations, hand folded paper cranes as ceremony decorations and home-made and bottled wedding favours.
Whether you are inspired by royalty or homespun traditions, the key message for weddings in 2011 is to make the day a reflection of the couples personalities.
