#TemptationTuesday - "Vibrant Orange"



Alright, so on #TemptationTuesday, we showed you a vibrant design, perfect for the spring and summer season. Just as purples are trending, so are many shades of orange. From pastels to slap-you-in-your-face-neon, you can find orange everywhere! If you choose to go bright, use a complementary color. In this case, yellow was used. But blues work well with orange too. Play around with paint sample cards or check out this website, www.apartmenttherapy.com, they give their expert advice on mastering the color wheel.

Next, let's talk about the big picture of the design...family style seating. It is THE thing to do at any celebration now. Long tables allows your guests to mix and mingle freely. You can still designate which tables they sit at, but with family style seating, they will be able to have more open conversations. Most banquet facilities are set up for round table seating, so if you really love the family style seating idea, rent a hall. Then you can do what you want.

The color scheme was brought into this design in so many ways, I especially love the paper lanterns; which you can buy at any party store. Save money on buying the 3 pack of small, medium, and large sizes at Party City, you'll get more bang for your buck, and the variety of sizes will add pleasure to the eyes.

Next you'll see a picture of some tickets in the middle. Couples are coming up with great ideas for escort cards. Escort cards tell your guests which table they are going to be seating at. In this case, they guests received an "admission ticket" to fun at the reception. Get some great ideas on our Thirsty Thursday Pinterest board.

And last but not least, we can't forget about the sweet for the sweet in this design. The square vase with color coordinating jelly beans tells you that this couple had a sweets table. Of course everyone knows, sweet tables are an inexpensive way to give your guests favors. If you choose to incorporate a candy table at your next event, have fun with it; order personalized M&M's U.S.A. And be smart...don't go SWH...shopping while hungry! Trust me, you'll buy everything in sight.
