Imagine you are a Charlotte, North Carolina bride waking up on the day of your wedding. You get out of bed, eat breakfast, get your makeup done, and realize you have to be at the venue to show all of the vendors where everything goes in an hour. You panic because the photographer is demanding you and the wedding party to get dressed and be downstairs for pictures in twenty minutes, but your hair has not even been touched by the stylist.
Tears are running down your face and stress takes over. This post offers a look into the duties of a day-of-coordinator. Exhale and breathe. This is just a nightmare where you did not have a wedding day-of coordinator. The vision, theme, trends, seating charts, floral placement, and schedule and more is taken care of by your coordinator so whoever is in the wedding, including the bride, can enjoy the day. What sweet relief!
Transparent Elements
Acrylic chairs, or what interior designers call ghost chairs, have been trending for years now, but they have arrived and made a statement in the wedding world. Just about every store or website is selling something transparent. Desks, lamps, chargers, jewelry boxes, cake stands, and even cutlery have been making a bold statement with some sort of transparent element.
The fantastic aspect of transparent elements is that it will fit into just about any theme or color scheme because it is clear. Guests will be impressed with your not-so understated and glamorous pieces. If you are uneasy with picking something so trendy such as crystal Chiavari ball room chairs, possibly you could opt for a vintage picture frame with just the glass stating “Welcome to our special day”.
Unexpected Florals
Las Vegas and million dollar weddings have one thing in common, flowers. There will be flowers at almost every wedding whether they are artificial roses or imported tulips from Holland. Designs are mixed with vintage and modern touches. Many bohemian brides want succulents in their bouquets tied up with multiple three foot-long hanging lace ribbons while some have no flowers at all.
More glitzy brides have bouquets made entirely of all that shines, rhinestones and Swarovski crystals. I predict some brides will be following an old tradition set by the royals of England. Petite bouquets can be dainty and feminine while covering a very small amount of the wedding gown.
Geometric shaped terrariums and candle holders are unbelievably popular with whimsical, earthy brides. Similar brides choose to use most of their floral budget on drenching chandeliers with cascading eucalyptus and baby’s breath. Some affluent brides desire giant cheery blossom trees with spotlights making appearances on each round eight-person dinner tables to be grander than expected.
To accentuate the height of the room, florists will carefully install hanging floral arrangements. Your day-of wedding coordinator should get this idea approved by your venue first and furthermore confirm once more a month before. This will save you a hefty venue damage fee.
If you aren’t so lucky as to have a feature wall for guests to take pictures all evening, it is advantageous to create a floral wall or simply the bride and groom’s initials entirely made of flowers. Florists can create Pinterest worthy walls adorned with fresh flowers that are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
