Wedding cake ideas in the Spring Break theme

If you are planning a wedding in the Spring Break colour scheme and you start thinking on how you will make your wedding cake:

Here is a few pointers:

First of all - keep the overall look and feel in mind when choosing a wedding cake. The words describing Spring Break is Happy, Light hearted, Joyful, Memories etc. Choose a cake that is not to formal! 

Choose a cake in the basic color schemes that you've decided to use for the wedding. Normally it is easier if you do the wedding cake in traditional white and just add the flowers in your colour scheme.

Try and add a few fun elements! Think of Surf Boards, Island Flowers and Shells.

Happy eventing!

Spring break wedding trend for 2015

Spring break stand for everything that is happy, joyful and pretty. Now you can ask me how on earth am I suppose to bring that into a wedding theme. Spring break is one of the easiest colour schemes that you can work with. You can mix and match bright colour flowers - but remember - choose light breezy flowers - not heavy flowers that will be used traditionally at very smart elegant functions.

When you do the arranging of your center pieces remember to keep the style as loose and light hearted as the flowers are. Don't try and make stiff and formal flowers. It must look as if you've picked wildflowers and just put it in a vase.

When you make a wedding posy for the spring break theme try and keep it as loose as possible! For a brilliant article on such a wedding posy go to the following site. http://greenweddingshoes.com/diy-farmers-market-bouquet/

Types of flowers that you can consider:

Hibiscus

 Gerbera

Peonies

 Eucaluptus leaves

Poppies

Dahlias

Happy Eventing

Ideas for Arch and Gazebo draping in the Spring Break colors!

To take further our previous discussion on the wedding trends and colors for 2015.... I've decided to put together some ideas for draping of an arch or gazebo - using those spring break colors. 

Remember not to try and use all the colors in the gazebo. Rather choose two or three of the main colours for the decor of the gazebo... the rest you can add through flowers or ribbons etc.

Happy Eventing

Spring break

When you think about spring break you can start thinking about words like Happy, Joy, Times to remember, Tropical feel, The one break in your life, Making of memories and Living in the moment. This colour scheme will not be for the faint of heart but the bride that loves being barefoot in the sand, threading beads and ribbon in her hair and love the joyfulness that colour will bring into the day.

When a bride looks at a color scheme it will be easy to be overwhelmed. Here you have 8 different colours that is being presented to you. How do you choose what colors to use and how to use it? With the spring break colour scheme it is quite easy because you can use most of the colours in equal amount in your decor and draping. 

They've used three colours to drape the gazebo but if you look to the rest of the decor you can see that they use the three colours in equal amounts. Where there is only the two green/blues on the chairs the pink flowers in the isle makes up for not having the pink in the chairs.

Remember to keep your decor happy and lighthearted! That is what this theme is all about - being pretty, joyful and happy! Make your island dream come true!

Happy eventing!

Draping course

What do you need to look for if you decide to do a draping course.... would it just be the cost that you consider? 

Before you decide to take out a certain amount of money to pay for a course - sit back and do some research. Where do they train, How many students have they trained, Can they supply you with references of satisfied students? But most of all... Do they give you time to practice! It is easy for anyone to say I can teach you how to drape in one or two days... but remember... you must go home and go and set up an event with only one or two days training!

I can bet you that when you've walked out of the venue after that day you have forgotten half of what you've learned!

Elect Training Academy has brought a unique and high quality event and wedding draping course into being which is specifically designed for staff training and development of hotels, guesthouses, events companies and small businesses. Our exceptional course includes features like safety training, suppliers guide, fabric samples in addition to the step-by-step instruction guide of event and wedding draping.

This is a practical orientated course specifically designed for individuals that would like to start draping at small weddings, helping friends or maybe start a small business. It will equip you to be able to do all the basics needed at a wedding. During Draping Foundation, students will learn about the various aspects of event and wedding draping, maintenance and cleaning of equipment and fabric, basic creative concepts, safety with regard to the handling of tools, consultation with the client etc.

Wedding Trends of 2015 - Part one

Weightless and Timeless

This is certainly not a colourscheme for the faint of heart but a bride that wants to have a bright, Fulfilled, Timeless wedding. Do not confuse this colourscheme with the old fashioned peacock colourscheme. 

What is the difference you will ask? The peacock wedding is bold, striking, royal and elaborate! It makes a strong impact with colours... everywhere you look you will see royal, jewel colours like we will see in the feathers of a peacock.

The Weightless and Timeless colourscheme of blue, purple and green is just what the name says - soft and weightless... Like a butterfly... gentle, soft, almost a feeling that floats in the wind but defininately a vision of beauty for all to see! With this colourscheme we will try and use soft hues, soft blues, soft greens and soft purples. Even if you decide to bring in a dark blue - make sure it is a soft colour and not a bright jewel colour.
