Summer Wedding: Ideas, planning and flowers

It’s more than just the most popular season of the year. It’s a wedding trend. Sunshine, nice weather, refreshing breezes, and wonderful event planning make that day, the perfect day.

 

If you’re dreaming of a summer wedding and you don’t know how to start, here are some tips to do it, and the best flowers to use in this season:

 

  1. The bride’s dress and makeup:

 

If you’re a summer bride, don’t panic! Your wedding dress has to be beautiful, but fresh. You need to be comfortable. Choose a dress that highlights your figure and allows you to enjoy yourself. Your makeup has to look natural and fresh; delicate and elegant.

 

  1. Location:

 

Look for a place that makes you feel in a fairytale. Look for a happy place that represents you and your love.

 

  1. Decoration:

 

Decoration is the face of your wedding. It’s a very important step. You are the soul of your event, but decoration is the body. Talk to your wedding planner; make sure to be clear and to express everything you want.

 

Flowers are the greatest part. The best summer flowers are sunflowers, Peonies, Garden Roses, Lavender, Freesias, Orchid, Roses, and Dahlias.

 

Identify which are your favorite flowers, and if you already know them and want to make us part of your magical day, tell us what they are and we will make it happen. No matter the season, tell us in advance and you will have them.

 

 

  1. Your loved ones:

 

You need to share love and happiness with the people who love to see you smile. Make sure to have them there and take amazing photos.

Golden day: Details to make your wedding shine

There was a time when having details in rose gold meant you were in. But, you know what the best is? Rose gold is in again!

For many brides, gold is a daring color; it means prosperity in some cultures. It’s a symbol of status and wealth, while for others is the perfect complementary color for romance and style.

Spring flew by, but that doesn’t mean that gold isn’t a summer or even a fall color. With its warm tones, it’s a color to go with white details, like table linens or –in our favorite case– flowers.

What type of wedding do you want to have?

Like we’ve said before, one of the most important things to have under your pocket when you start to plan your wedding is the theme. Is it rustic or elegant? Is it a daytime or nighttime wedding? Once you have that part figured out, then you can start to plan the rest.

Keep in mind that gold is a color that brings out small details. Like, for instance, gold cutlery looks great against white surfaces.

Or maybe if you’re looking for a different tone of gold, like rose gold, which is perfect for invitations or as a complement for bouquets:

Lighting: The Art Of Creating Unique Wedding Scenarios

Lighting plays a big role in the wedding decoration. Thanks to the right illumination, it’s possible to experience event concepts with intensity and realism. Indeed, light can transform places by highlighting or attenuating decorative elements. Are you ready to create stunning wedding scenarios with lighting arrangements?

How does the illumination set special atmospheres in events?

  • It brings the overall composition together: there is no event if you don’t have professional lighting in the ballroom. By using the right lighting intensity, guests capture the overall concept of your wedding design faster, and their sight won’t be forced to perceived focal points. Definitely, the general lighting has an important influence on the guests’ opinion about your event.

 

  • Spotlighting: if you want to create dramatic effects on certain decorative elements or furniture, just use set spotlights onto or behind them. Besides, the lighting can be used to embellish backdrops and tiny details in tables with bulb series. Only lighting has the power of highlighting and attenuating things to assign a hierarchy in your event decoration.

 

  • Setting the mood: the light has a deep influence on psychological perception, that’s why the right illumination can easily enhance the atmosphere of your event. There’s a lighting arrangement for every wedding concept; if you want to provide intimacy, and then use soft illumination such as chandeliers, colored lights, candelabras and lanterns.

We recommend you to use candles to complement focal points and add a touch of romanticism throughout the room. You can include tenuous lighting with decorative lights and tea light candles in centerpieces, pathways, the cake station, the ballroom, and so on.

Tell Us What Wedding You Want And We’ll Tell You Which Flower You’re Looking For

Your wedding isn’t a regular day. For every single bride, it has to be the best day of her life, which can’t be topped easily. Some brides like to start by doing mood boards to choose their color palette; others like to start with the venue. But for us at Eduardo Perrone, starting with the floral arrangements is essential.

A flower tells a lot about your personality. For instance, have you stopped once to think what your favorite flower is and what your favorite scent is? There are studies that show that smell is strongly linked to memories. Why not creating unforgettable memories with flowers? Today, we’ll tell you which flowers you should pick according to the wedding you’re looking for!

What wedding do you want?

Here’s where planning comes in handy! Are you looking for a romantic and classic wedding? A beach wedding is exactly what you’ve dreamed of? A tip that could help you is writing down adjectives that could define your wedding in the future. Once you have this, you can start looking for flowers that reflect those aspects.

  • Vintage: we’ve said this before, and we’ll say it again: vintage never goes out of style. You can add classic white roses, English roses, or pale pink flowers with antiqued wood and white details. Sea lavenders, false goat’s beard and eucalyptus are excellent companions for this warm, yet chic concept.

  • Classic: some people associate “classic” with boring, and that’s not the case. Classic makes you think of romance, details and minimalism. Here, you can play with white roses and white lilies around a white and pastels palette.

  • Rustic: if there’s something that makes this season incredibly special is its weather. Fresh, bright, and most importantly: sunny! Flowers, such as baby breath, lavender, masterworts, and others add the perfect balance of greenery and nature necessary for these events.

  • Beach wedding: the main attribute of a beach wedding is their spontaneity and simplicity. That’s why when you’re planning, take into account oceanic views as a backdrop combined with flowers that can withstand high temperatures: sunflowers, lilies, lavenders, hydrangeas, magnolias, etc.

You don’t have to have everything figured out now, but picturing the wedding of your dreams and the flowers that come with it is the first step. Eduardo Perrone can help you take small baby steps to organize the flower arrangement you’re looking for. Make this Blooming Occasions part of your life today!

Table decoration tips for your Father’s Day celebration

Even though Father’s Day could be overlooked by many people nowadays, this is a perfect moment to honor the father’s role in parenting and caregiving. By organizing a Father’s Day celebration we can give back all the affection and commitment they give without expecting anything in return.

Surprising a father with a thematic dinner is a pleasant way to celebrate his special day. In this case, the table setting is the key to your decoration, because it gives your dinner concept a personal touch.

Consider the things he likes to do, his personal preferences, his favorite topics and hobbies. Making a list of these things will help you choose the final design and other details such as dishes or beverages.

As an extra help, in Eduardo Perrone, we present 3 ideas for your table decoration on this special day.

The best table settings for a Father’s Day celebration

  • Centerpieces are always a good option: they are the focal point of the table. At the same time, they assemble all the elements of your theme and provide balance in the decoration. For a Father’s Day dinner, the recommended centerpieces are those with earth tone colors, stronger shapes, green plants and white flowers.
  • Plants with a masculine touch you should know: rose of Jericho, cactus, succulents, gladioli, anthurium, beaucarnea recurvata and ardisia crenata. Also, you could add pinecones, acorns, branches and barks.
  • Table accessories: dad is the guest of honor in his Father’s Day celebration, so make sure that all the decoration perfectly suits his personality and tastes. At this point, you can add several accessories to your design that resemble his tastes and likings. For example, toy cars, family photos, or golf balls.
  • Napkins and tablecloth: these provide a masculine touch to your decoration. Again, use rustic aesthetics with earth tones, and try to mix them with dad’s favorite colors. Use neutral designs for the tablecloth so as to emphasize the centerpieces and accessories. Don’t forget that the tablecloth works as a background or canvas.
  • Fabric colors that work for a Father’s Day celebration: gray, cream with gray, and ivory with dark green and textured warm neutral colors. We recommend you to choose soft linen.

Feel free to use your imagination for creating thematic shapes with napkins such as ties, bow ties, pockets, shirts and so on.

Now you are ready to say Happy Father’s Day with Eduardo Perrone!

Theme Parties: The Art Of Creating Events From Stories

Thematic celebrations date back to the 15th century, when masquerades and allegorical meetings were a common form of recreation in Royal Courts. These celebrations were so rooted in the cultural expressions of the old continent, that they were the main core of social life in those days. Undoubtedly, the mystery and charm of “living the story” were as attractive then as they are now.

At Eduardo Perrone, we believe that theme parties are a perfect way to celebrate special moments with a touch of personality. You can design a theme party for birthdays, graduations, baby showers, Christmas, Mother’s Day and even weddings. You just need the right contextual decoration.

In this case, conceptualization is essential to sketch all the details and focal points of any theme party. You can use complex and precise stories, such as a “red carpet masquerade”, or general topics like “Halloween night”; the final result depends on your creativity.

3 points to consider when decorating your theme party

  • The table setting takes the center stage: all your party concepts must be present in the table decoration. The tables are the most relevant meeting points where guests socialize during most part of the event.

You can offer a complete experience by bringing together personalized centerpieces, an accurate color palette, tablecloths, and one or two thematic complements. Make sure that your design doesn’t look messy or saturated.

  • Floral arrangements are more than complements: blossoms give life to the color palette and enforce the party concept with a subtle touch of elegance and context.

It’s well known that flowers can convey meanings with their fragrance and appearance, so use floral arrangements to highlight the focal points of your decoration and capture the tone of your thematic. (e.g., romantic, rustic, or high-end).

  • The importance of backdrops: backdrops or scenarios are essential at any theme party. By offering a hyper-personalized place, your guests will have a deeper experience with vivid pictures and a solid plot story. We recommend you to only set one backdrop/scenario for the salon.

   The architectonic layouts must match the theme, because these elements work as main backgrounds.

At Eduardo Perrone, we create stunning decorations from any concept. Tell us your story.

The Boutonnière: Unique Accessory and Essential for the Groom

The secret of a magical wedding is the attention to detail. This is why we want to tell you the importance of choosing the best boutonnière.

A boutonnière is a floral decoration, typically a single flower or bud, worn on the lapel of a tuxedo or suit jacket. It indicates who the most important guests of the wedding are. This is the reason why the groom and the bride’s father wear it, but sometimes, the minister wears it too, but in that case it’s a different boutonniere.

This accessory gives you the chance to accent your attire with the color-themes of your date or the event you’re attending to, whether it’s a wedding, prom, or just a special occasion for which formal wear is standard.  At weddings, this accessory is as important for the groom as the bouquet is for the bride.

The boutonnière is chosen taking into account several aspects like the style of the wedding: rustic, classic, romantic, vintage, etc, or the personality of the groom, or even the design of the suit. Normally, they are made with flowers, although there are many different styles, the tradition indicates that the white color should be preferred, but nowadays it’s appropriate to resort to the same tone of the tie, but it’s very important combine him with the bride’s bouquet.

 

What is the perfect flower?

All flowers are allowed, but depending on the situation, it’s recommended to use certain kinds of flowers. Luckily, there’s no shortage of ideas for the groom’s boutonnière that look great, coordinate with your bridal blooms, and feel masculine.

A way to use an exotic flower while still keeping the theme

The most important thing in that case is defining the style.  More and more couples are swapping out the traditional floral boutonnière. Instead, they use something more understated. For a classic look, the gardenias are perfect, or also, white orchids. For a daring style, you can use flowers of striking colors like orange or red; in that case tulips and sunflowers are ideal.

If you are looking something more original, you can add organic elements like little eucalyptus’ branches, rosemary’s branches, or lavender’s branches. This also adds a special smell to the arrangement.  And remember, whatever your choice is, the most important thing is to live every moment of this wonderful process and enjoy these little details.

Color Trends For 2018: The Rise of Monochromatic Palettes

The color palette is an indispensable resource in event decoration. It brings concepts and themes to life by setting nuances, contrast, and depth. A well-defined color palette has the power to influence the guests’ moods and reactions throughout the event. That’s why you should be careful when it comes to choosing the main colors.

At this moment, you might be wondering: what’s the best color selection for my event? This depends on the occasion and the theme you have chosen. Luckily, 2018 color trends can be adapted to all possible scenarios, because of this year, purple and violet tones presented in monochromatic palettes reign. All you have to do is play with the nuances.

 

Look for mysterious and sensual palettes

Purple is a versatile color; you can use it for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, and so on. Its tones can provide mystery, elegance, and fantasy to the environment. Besides, purple and violet nuances have a deep influence on the psyche, causing relaxation and charm. It’s like a rare perfume that sticks to everyone.

This color is also associated with nobility, luxury, and spirituality. Cream tones convey softness and romance, while darker tones are related to pride and knowledge.  We recommend to mix cream and dark nuances in the same palette; this will give a touch of balance and avoid arrogance.

And if you need some inspiration, you could start with 18-3838 UltraViolet, the mythical Pantone creation for this 2018, tagged as a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade. A color designed for stunning decorations that tell underlying stories.

At Eduardo Perrone, we use monochromatic purple palettes to highlight special details in a white background. We call this concept Purple Contemporary, when subtlety coexists with royalty, making you feel like you’re part of the Royal family.
