Tiffany blue to say I DO!

December was a crazy month - there were quite a few things going on with photo shoots and planning for other projects, and the usual rush to the end of the year.
In the midst of all the madness, the blue should have been the calm - and I guess in many ways it sort of was. thankfully for this wedding we had sufficient time to turn the ballroom into a masterpiece - the theme started off as a wintry wedding, and then suddenly morphed into a tiffany blue, white and silver number, with a touch of frost.



So, we had cherry blossom trees with babies breath tied on them to create a three dimensional effect of snowy boughs,  table centres had mock tiffany boxes all wrapped up with a simple white floral arrangement in the centre and tiffany blue chair sashes. The ballroom was set up such that the main table was elevated on a platform in the middle of the ballroom (idea courtesy of the wedding planner Wedding Acts Pte Ltd) and it was just a blue blue blue all the way - chair sashes, table overlay and a tall centre piece arrangement in the middle with blue and silver trimmings. 






we covered the base of the platform with some green and white foliage and flowers bringing a bit of the forest undergrowth inside!











and in a nod to the latest trends for weddings these days, the couple opted to have a candy table - blue and white candy, silver wrapped hersheys, blue candy canes, marshmallows and jelly beans. sadly with most people watching their sugar and no children about to take full advantage of the candy, a lot of this went to waste :( but the display looked lovely!



PSSST - handy tips
Now for those of you who are planning a tiffany blue wedding - a word to the wise... it is not an easy colour to source stuff, and it gets lost if it is an evening function with low lights - SO if you are happy with white light everywhere and sourcing for a good few months before your big day go right ahead. look for vendors who will rent you stuff cos it will be difficult to repeat the colour at an event at home - whereas red and white always works for all manner of merry-making.

Tis our last post for 2010 - we hope you have enjoyed the work as much as we have enjoyed sharing our  experiences with you -
come back for more posts in 2011.
till then HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
