Using
color: When many people think of choosing colors for an event they think of simply picking 2 or 3 of their
favorite colors but there are other color options. Colors may be used as an accent or focal point of a design.
You can certainly choose one of this year's hot colors and pair it with a complementary or neutral color. You can
also choose a feature color to be used throughout the event and use various tones or tints in a monochromatic
scheme. Ask your Professional Fine Artist & Event Designer for more information on hue dimensions, color perception, and more regarding the formal science of Color Theory.
Table Talk
3 reception table trends:
The Come Back - Head Tables
Head tables fell out of fashion in favor of Sweetheart tables after the 80's but they seam to be making
a come.
Rectangles vs. Circles
More and more receptions are using square or rectangular banquet style seating instead of standard
rounds (round tables) because of the unique layout and flowing table design options they offer.
Funkier than flowers
Although flowers will always have a place at reception tables, more and more centerpieces are corporating
unconventional elements such as rocks, candles, feathers, etc. The flowers you may find might be submurged in tall,
dramatic vases of water. Regardless, don't be afraid to look at centerpieces as more than bouquets for your table.

Dazzlingly Different Details
Diamonds, pearls, and crystals are classic choices for wedding jewelry but more and more Brides
are daring to be different by adding color and unusual stones or accents to their wedding day accessories. Just as Brides
are choosing to add pops of color and unique texture to their wedding gowns colored gems, stones and even shells are making
an appearance in tiaras and necklaces. Tigerlilly Jewelry (shown above) is just one of the leaders in the uncommonly texture
and color craze. For more jewelry options you many also like to check out the fun and funky accessories in our

Monograms
If you are having trouble finding a theme for your up-coming special event consider monograms. This trend has
become increasingly popular over recent years and continues to be seen at weddings, sweet sixteen parties, etc.
Brides can unitize their soon-to-be new monogram throughout their wedding design as a simple, stylish, and elegant
approach to creating a personalized theme.

Donation Event Favors
Looking for something special to give as wedding favors?
Why not give the gift of hope during your special day. Many couples and party givers are choosing to offer
Donation Favors to guests instead of the traditional favor.
Donation Favors are a unique, personal, and thoughtful
way to commemorate your special event. Many renowned non-profit charitable organizations offer simple yet
elegant favors (such as personalized scrolls) to wedding couples and special event organizers to present to their
guests in exchange for donations to their causes.
