Elegance has been redefined. The muted tones and deep hues traditionally used to accent an elegant affair have become more frequently sidelined by vibrant shades and bold patterns. Thinking outside the color-box is not only for the audacious. Carefully considered splashes of dynamic color can give a space new life, and more modern feel without becoming overwhelming. Choosing specific elements or details in which to incorporate a little pop of color is the simplest way to begin. Although a hot pink table linen may be too bold for your specific tastes, consider details such as napkins, chair sashes, or flowers integrate a hot pink, turquoise, or even lime green.
Design a color scheme to suit your tastes and go to town. Try a vibrant table runner (see above) or brighten up a demure table with strong accents (see left). Napkins are a classic choice to add color in the world of weddings and events. Creative uses will accentuate smaller touches while making an enormous impact. The devil (as we all know) is in the details, so why not emphasize those little accents and really make them standout.
- Flip the switch on colored napkin linen, and use a more delicate tone, highlighted by a vibrant napkin ring.
- Using candles to heighten the ambiance? Why not trade in those white votive or ivory pillar candles for those in an eye-catching shade.
- Give your guests place cards a bit of flair by using colored paper, stripes, or even polka-dots.
- Even get your florals in on the fun with a softer, monochromatic arrangement and a more dynamic vase to really make a statement.
The moral of the story really being that this is your celebration, and it should reflect you, your personal style, and your relationship. Don't feel restricted to the proverbial box.
