(NAPSA) — Dream big, even if you are on a budget.
Future brides, or anyone helping to plan a wedding, can make the celebration uniquely their own without breaking the bank. The key is to identify your signature color and the resulting palette will provide inspiration for creating a dream wedding on your budget. From classic white to regal, romantic violet to chocolate brown, the signature color unveils countless personalized possibilities for every facet of the wedding. With a color theme carried out in invitations, festive trims, the “just married” banner, handcrafted menus and small gifts of appreciation, every detail is complete and coordinated.
Dreaming in color is the creative vision behind a new book, “Wilton Wedding Style.” Having trouble selecting a color? The book helps determine a wedding color choice by asking questions that reflect location, season and personal interests. Each color-themed section of the book offers decorating ideas for ceremonies and receptions plus step-by-step instructions for amazing cakes, petits fours, cupcakes and edible favors. From the experts in wedding cakes, products and planning, this guide presents a full spectrum of colorful possibilities.
Here are a few tips from the editors:
• First impressions count. Save-the-date cards and invitations offer the first glimpse of your wedding style; make sure they are simple to save money when it comes to creating an elegant wedding.
• Mirror the theme of the day you have so carefully planned. Details matter. From the ring pillow and cake topper to the unity candles and toasting flutes, these small but distinctive touches bring sophistication and charm to the occasion. The book offers accessories to cover every detail.
• Make lasting impressions. Personal touches make the difference. Say thank you to guests with take-home gifts. Fill small bags or tins with candy or tuck a cupcake or truffle into a small box. Personalize with ribbons, beads, tassels or charms; you can even add a personal note.
