#TemptationTuesday - "Monograms"



Craving today's #ThirstyThursday tips? Okay so this week's wedding design is an explosion of color and cool ideas.

First up, the napkin in the top left corner, it not only matches the decor, but has a monogram illustrated on it. Monogramming is hot now! And I don't just mean the monogram that gets projected onto the dance floor (which is always stylish). I mean, people are mongramming everything! Its on invites, programs, favors, even table runners! You can create your own using any word document and special font, then apply it to everything.

Next up, let's talk about the WOW factor in this design...the unique centerpiece! Okay, so I don't recommend you purchase a set of pool balls for every table (crazy!), but doing something totally different, totally you and your sweetie, and totally affordable is what matters most! There are way too many ideas out there for me to name, so just go on Pinterest or google unique wedding centerpieces to get some ideas that suits your personality and your budget.

I am absolutely in love with the Menu Card pic on the left hand side. Although more pricier than a buffet style reception, more brides are choosing the elegance of a sit down, butler passed meal. And instead of going through the hassle of sending menu options in with the invites, they are selecting one or two entrees for their guests to enjoy. Thus, a menu card is placed at each table setting to let the guests know what to expect. You can make simple menu cards using any boxed set of stationary, or make your own quirky creation! Check us out on Pinterest for two great ideas.

And last but certainly not least, the cushioned seating with pillows pic. OMG! This is a trend with alot of destination weddings but more and more brides with hefty budgets are doing it. Create a lounge area within your reception hall where you and your sweetie can have some alone time during the chaos. Or create a larger space for guests to sit and reconnect as though they were in a comfortable living room. Renting furniture, or buying cushioned ottomans and pillows, can make this an affordable thing to do. Couple it with small tables and candles, and you've got high end style for close to nothing!

But if you're not crafty or can't stick to a budget, give us a call! That's what we do best. We have a Monogram Projector so your name can be in lights. And we can create totally unique and vibrant items to make your day stand out from the crowd.
