Savvy Seating: Dressed Up Wedding Chairs

Chiavari chairs are probably the most commonly used chairs at wedding receptions today. True, they may already look nice, but there are ways to dress up your wedding reception chairs that can add a little extra pizzazz to the overall look and feel of your event.  They can be draped with soft, flowy fabric, covered with unique, textured chair covers that match your color scheme...there are so many options available that the possibilities are endless!

Check out a few stylish ideas to dress up your wedding reception chairs:

The Writing's on the...Cake

I'm pretty sure you're all used to seeing writing on a cake (Happy Birthday, Congratulations on the Baby, etc., etc.)  However, you rarely see it on a wedding cake.  The designs are usually so intricate and elegant, that writing "Congratulations on the Wedding" would seem so out of place.

Recently, I've noticed a few cool ways to include writing on a wedding cake that truly stand out...

Fondant Lettering

(Bonus points for adding a hint of color to the all-white design).

  Graffiti-like Design 
 This cake is covered in descriptive words and expressions that tell what life as a married couple is all about (Love, Friendship, Family, Trust, Fun, etc).

Vows in Calligraphy
I love the idea of including aspects of your vows (such as love, honor, cherish) on each cake tier.

Source

Slogans/Sentiments
You can add a slogan, song title, or even briefly tell the story of how your love came to be.

PTE Wants to Know: Are you a fan of wedding cakes with writing, or does it downplay the sophistication of what a wedding cake should be?  What else can you think of/have you seen written on a wedding cake?

{Color Crush} Yellow + Gray

Today is the first day of Spring, so it is a safe bet that you are going to start seeing a lot of soft colors being used in wedding/event decor. A really popular color combo right now is Yellow + Gray.  Usually, I'm not a big fan of gray because I feel that it is such a dull, boring color.  However, when it is paired with a bright and cheery color like yellow, it instantly goes from drab to fab!

{Color Crush} Navy + Hot Pink

This week's color crush is Navy + Hot Pink!

I love how these two bold colors compliment one another.  It's a fun and modern color scheme that would be perfect for an intimate beach wedding, or even a more formal, lavish affair.

When paired together, these two colors definitely make a dramatic statement!

Spring is quickly approaching, so we'll be seeing a lot of soft and bright colors in the next few months. One of my fave color combos right now is Coral + Aqua.  These colors compliment each other so beautifully and would be perfect for a Spring/Summer wedding or event.  The two colors can be incorporated into everything from the wedding attire and stationary to the flowers/decor.
