We all know the difference that decor can make and yet it’s not any less surprising everytime we seen a transformation.
The styles, colours, accents and lighting create a different look everytime.

Tina and James’ wedding this past weekend reminded me of how much things have changed. What was once reserved for the most exclusive of weddings is now not only available, but a staple that can be desired and attained by all.
Decor is one of those things and Paramount Event Centre is one of those venues that really showcases and a dramatic setting for a head table.

As a wedding florist I have always considered myself to be the one whose primary role it is to bring together the visual part of the wedding so anything that falls into this framework (such as linens and décor) I have always considered within my domain.
While there is no better or classic way to bring the “life” and “fresh” element to a wedding, the look of a wedding is more than just the petals and the stems.
While some ideas are trends that pass within a single season, there are those that come and permanently change the way the visual element of the wedding is presented.
These elements in the linens and décor.
Once reserved for only the most exclusive of weddings that we might see featured in a celebrity magazine that details hundreds yards of cashmir that were flown in to cover a tent and tables covered with finest of silk taffetas in the most divine of colours, today this look and feel is available to any couple planning a wedding.
For most in the past, “upgrading” meant perhaps changing up the linens from the standard polyester in white or ivory to a brocade or damask in a similar neutral tone and switching out the existing chairs for chivaris.
Now regardless of budget, linens to the floor and at least a basic chair cover to finish the look seems to be the norm. What is becoming increasingly more common is the decision to use linens and décor as a way to completely change the look and feel of a wedding.
They can used to enhance a set colour scheme and bring to the table the colours that perhaps nature does not provide many if any flowers for such as chocolate brown or robin’s egg blue.
From full tablecloths and napkins, to satin chair wraps and tone on tone embroidered organza overlays, these additional elements that are available in a myriad of colours and textures are simple but wonderful ways to add that added dimension to a wedding day.
