Destination 1: The Beach
When I think of the Beach, I picture crashing waves, cool blue water, white sand and fresh breezes. To me it is light and airy, fresh and clean and brings a sense of cool calm. Who doesn’t need that on their big day!
To create a Beach destination wedding without the Beach destination try the ideas below.
Use a blue and green color palette it will evoke feeling of the ocean
For your bouquets stick with the color theme, think Hydrangeas, Orchids, and grasses
For your table centers incorporate sand and shells, in tall clear glass vases
Accent with bleached or light coloured wood and unique shell accessories
Candlelight plays a part as well, but try tea lights in lanterns for a whimsical feel
Drape tables in crisp white linen and use white wooden chairs
Have fun too – a sandcastle cake or playful shell ornaments help with the laid-back vibe
Destination 2: Wine Country
Wine Country brings to mind: rolling hills, lush vineyards, fresh produce, warm colors and something that is richly rustic and romantic. It focuses on feelings of family, casual entertaining and a luxurious live and let live attitude.
To create a Wine Country destination wedding without the Wine Country destination try the ideas below.
Use the rich jewel tones to capture that classic wine country feel.
For your bouquets think bold reds and deep purples combine these with lush greenery.
For the table centers accent low lush floral arrangements with different fruits like pomegranates,
fresh figs, and of course – grapes!
Drape your tables and chairs in deep rich colors and include candlelight as well
To add to the decor have vignettes of a variety of clustered wine bottles with glasses and corks
Think wine bottle stopped for favours, and use corks for your place card holders
Destination 3: Italy
Italy conjures up images of classical elegance, glittering gold, shimmering candlelight and lush overabundance. It brings feelings of warmth, romance and sumptuous overabundance to mind.
To create an Italian destination wedding without the Italian destination try the ideas below.
Use a color theme of creamy whites and ivories accented with warm gold tones
For your bouquet consider the classic rose or lush Hydrangea and trailing greenery
For the table centers think overstuffed, think artichokes, think lots of foliage
Place flowers everywhere, over abundance is key
Incorporate classic forms such as ornate candelabras and statues or busts
Use candlelight to your advantage, the warm glow will help set the mood
Drape tables in ivory and over lay with gold organza for an opulent look
Organic or cold pressed olive oil is a unique favour – one that WILL be used
Destination 4: The Tropics
A Tropical Destination creates images of bright vibrant colors, palm tree covered islands, sultry music and fresh flavours. It generates feelings of carefree days, relaxation and fun.
To create a Tropical destination wedding without the Tropical destination try the ideas below.
A color scheme of hot pinks, bright oranges and a splash of lime green sets the mood
Try exotic flowers like Ginger,Protea or Heliconia in your bouquet
Go crazy with the palm leaves and create “palm trees” on the tables
Use lush indoor house plants to add a sense of place to your venue
Decorate with bowls of floating orchids and candles
Use bright colored linens and chair covers to create a festive vibe
Have fun with whimsical favours and kitschy accents
Keep the food light and fresh think grilled fish and salads not steak and potatoes
