The U.K. website You and Your Wedding has some interesting suggestion about how to make your wedding reception really exceptional this year.
In terms of canapés the hottest offerings are foods that look like sushi but are not really sushi. An example is the mini roast beef and Yorkshire pudding or the strawberry rolled in fondant and coconut.
There is also a trend towards ice sculptures but unlike your standard swan sculpture it is quite cool to embed fairy lights in the sculpture.
When it comes to fountains some individuals are still discovering the chocolate fountain into which people immerse chunks of fruit. However to be on the cutting edge you might want to consider a coulis fountain. In this case it is pureed fruit like mango or raspberries that courses through the fountain.
Want to hold your wedding the same way that the celebrities do? In this case You and Your Wedding recommends having a make up artist on staff all day to do people’s make up!
There are other very interesting trends in weddings to look out for this year.
One of them ions the use of black orchids. White orchids are boring according to the paper. Black orchids are where it is at because they are so rare ( and expensive too at roughly 800 bucks per floral arrangement!) Of course black wedding dresses are also in.
The other big trend? Giving your guests an iPod Nano loaded with your favorite tunes rather than the usual little packet of cocoa, plant or bag of candies. This way couples that are at your wedding can remember your love by dancing to your tunes.
When it comes to seating arrangements you no longer have to worry about who gets to sit at your table. Sweetheart tables, that only sit the bride and the groom, are recommended so that you don’t have to worry about who has to sit with you.
Do you want to add a touch of color to your snow white wedding. Why not add rose-colored metallic ribbons and other metallic colors to give it a magical and glamorous look. Touches of gold are also very pure and elegant looking on a wedding table and less expected than silver. This is particularly enchanting for a winter wedding
