To match or not to match, that is the question.
Having just attended four weddings in the past five weeks, you could literally say I’ve seen it all. Each wedding was beautiful, but one in particular stands out in my memory, and is the inspiration for today's post. Embrace variety -- mismatching will make your wedding (or next party) not only beautiful, but memorable.
TABLES - Why not include a variety of table shapes and sizes? Round tables generally seat ten, but also come in smaller sizes to seat small groups of six or eight. More and more rental companies are also offering oval and large square-shaped tables as well. Mix it up!
I used this "mismatched" bouquet idea for a client's wedding in 2010 |
BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES - Again, choose a color (or even a color range) and let the girls go crazy. Allowing each girl to choose her own dress shape and style enables bridesmaids to find a dress that flatters them, and may even increase the chance that she’ll wear the dress again! Thankfully, many brides are doing this these days.
TABLE LINENS - Green’s your thing? Rather than picking one color linen and using it throughout the reception, choose a variety of green linens in different patterns — a dark green and light green stripe, a green jacquard, a green floral. To unify the look, you can line each table with a white cloth, and then use the green linens on top as more of an overlay or accent.
FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS - No need to have the exact same arrangement at each table - why not mix it up with alternating colors, varying flowers, and differing arrangement heights? So long as the color palette is similar throughout, you’ll have a cohesive effect.
