A wedding is remembered for a lifetime, it crowns love: it should be wonderful, reflecting its image. A memorable day, it is also very costly. According to INSEE, an average of €11,800 is spent for 100 guests. At that price, the wedding should be a must. Nice-Premium reveals the 2011 trends…
First of all, the dress: it has a fitted waist, a voluminous skirt, slightly shorter in the front to show the shoes: Louboutins, of course. These shoes, named after their creator, are known for their very noticeable red soles. The ultimate luxury is to choose recyclable outfits that are eco-friendly and can be reused. Aranel has specialized in this and works with fair trade cooperatives. Lace and dotted tulle are making a strong comeback. As for accessories, go for a tiara or hair vines (ornate hairbands) and skin jewelry. And above all, avoid large bouquets. For the groom, it will be a fitted suit with a bow tie.
The decoration
In the era of royal weddings (William and Kate, Albert and Charlene), it’s time for romance. Avoid two-tone themes such as red and white. Faded colors are back in fashion with light grays, beiges, blush pinks, pale yellows, or khaki. Besides the slightly retro “English” decor, we love the funfair theme with large lollipops, cotton candy machines, or popcorn machines… Don’t hesitate to dig out treasures from the old attic trunk either.
Organization and important details
The internet has become essential, with a blog to share wedding preparations, and emails to announce the wedding…
Sponsorship is growing. In exchange for their services, display the business cards of your champagne supplier, mention the name of the young designer who made your dress on Facebook.
Sugar-coated almonds are no longer popular. It’s preferable to give guests fun little gifts: candles, purse jewelry, mini-plants…
As for the wedding cake, it has become outdated: cupcakes are preferred or better yet: whoopie pies, those small cakes joined by creamy frosting and of Amish origin.
Finally, forget about the wedding gift list: today, couples often live together long before they get married. However, consider others by inviting guests to donate to a charitable organization. An original site for this: www.achatducoeur.com
We hope these tips will help make this wonderful day an unforgettable moment. Best wishes from Nice-Premium!
