Add A Little Color...

Now everyone has their own style, but I've been seeing recent weddings where no color is present. It's a simple white table cloth, no flowers, no candles, the only color on the table is the spilled red wine stains left on the tablecloth.  Some may say extravagant flowers or decor isn't in their budget, but I'm here to tell you that it is possible on a budget. Lets look at the examples above....

Look how colorful those tables make such a statement and when you look closer you see that the flowers sit in simple mason jars, El Pato tomato sauce cans, and even empty Cholula hot sauce bottles. Also note that there isn't alot of flowers, each arrangement only has 3 flowers and they are very inexpensive flowers. However at least having some color on the tables transform the simple white table cloths into a colorful reception.

The second example is a bit extravagant, but look at all the colors the florist adds together to make this arrangement truly unique, I'm not staying this has to be on every table, maybe it is a arrangement that sits are the entrance of your event.  The third example is from the same wedding what I wanted to focus on instead of having pedals sprinkled all over the aisle, try putting them into a unique design, or have them be in the initials of the couple.

The fourth example I love, what a simple touch that is so memorable. A old suit case filled with with crayons and a wedding color book. Let me tell you this is VERY inexpensive, it provides color and adds to the decor and it will help entertain the kids for awhile.

Lastly the fifth example, look at all the colors that combined. Wine colored table cloths, green chair bows, pink flowers, simple tall vases with sticks, as well as white plates and green napkins. I love how they weren't afraid to use multiple colors, they broke the idea that you have to use white table cloths. I also love the sticks in the tall vases, yes I'd be cool if those vases were filled with colorful flower arrangements, however the sticks provide height to the tables, they are unique and most of all inexpensive and add to the rustic outdoor decor.

No more excuses for no flowers or decorations at your event, cause I'm hear to help you with suggestions that are cost friendly and unique.
