Use Toile de Jouy for your wedding decoration

Posted on février 20, 2012 by Claire

If I suggest you to use Toile de Jouy for your wedding decoration, it’s because Toile de Jouy is a part of the French history and this fabric illustrates the art of French living and the elegance. So that can be a perfect theme for your wedding decoration. My advice is to use Toile de Jouy sparingly !

Indeed, the drawings of Toile de Jouy are numerous and complicated. Too much Toile de Jouy can make your guests suffocate ! On the contrary, if  Toile de Jouy is used by small touches, you can create a very original and classy wedding decoration ! This fabric was first manufactured at a factory located in Jouy-en-Josas, a city closed to Paris, during the late 18th century. It became very famous for decoration and represented the refinement of the French gentry and aristocracy. Drawing of their daily lives were done on this specific fabric (I am not sure you can find wedding scenes anyway!).

The main attribute of the Toile de Jouy is the white background. Continue reading →

Wedding decor : choose rectangular table

Posted on janvier 16, 2012 by Claire

I have to say that this is only my personal opinion, but I love wedding rectangular table. Indeed I think you can create much more original wedding decor with this kind of tables, compared to round tables. Consequently I selected some pictures of wedding decor with rectangular table in order to show you what you can do with it.

Of course, I believe that a wedding rectangular table is adequate with a small wedding. If you have less than 100 guest, the wedding decor with rectangular table is really stunning. if you are more numerous, I advice to stick to round tables.  You don’t have to put too many or too long rectangular tables in your wedding decor. But if you’re 20, one single wedding rectangular table is better than two round ones, according to me. Then, you can create a very casual wedding decor or something much more sophisticated. It’s up to you.

If your wedding takes place outside, in a vineyard, on a beach or just in a garden, rectangular table is a good idea. You can use flowers and colorful table clothes. In my opinion, I think that a lot of small bouquets are better than high vases. Continue reading →

The benefits of using artificial flowers for your wedding reception

Posted on novembre 24, 2011 by Claire

If you are planning a wedding reception and will be expecting many people, a significant way to save money is to decorate using artificial flowers. This may sound like an unusual choice at first, but there is actually a growing trend to skip on buying thousands of dollars worth of living flowers and going the economical route with synthetics instead.

Before even discussing the benefits, it is important to know that these aren’t your mother’s artificial flowers. Companies today have refined fake flowers to look more real than ever, often using materials like silk to create very real-looking and even feeling petals. Now, the benefits do not just stop at cost. You cannot fail when it comes to taking care of them, and they are ideal as centerpieces when you have a lot of tables to decorate.

Ordering real flowers can also be a tedious task full of disappointments when the flowers you order are out of stock. With artificial flowers, you will be able to ensure that you will get the types your are looking for no matter what the season. Popular flowers at weddings often include calla lilies, roses, and tulips. When you order artificial flowers, you can mix and match and have a fun with it. Your choices will be available.
