Table Arrangement Ideas for a Summer Wedding

Monday, June 14th, 2010

 

Summer is just around the corner and you might be among the many brides preparing for a wedding. Sometimes it can hard to come up with wedding table arrangement ideas, because there are just so many other details to attend to.

Just as containers are great decorations for the home they can do well when used in centrepieces. You can use anything from baskets to watering cans! It really depends on the bride’s taste.

Containers can really work well as part of wedding table arrangement for outdoor weddings as they are sturdy. If there is a little breeze or wind they are sure not to tumble off the table!

And this is where you can really get creative, anything from little tin buckets to straw baskets can be embellished with ribbons, flowers or even shells. The limit is your creativity! Of course, it would be nice to have something that really reflects the tastes of the bride.

If you have a certain colour scheme for you wedding, tin pails and baskets can be painted just about any shade.

These wedding table top decorations are not limited to this area only. You can really harmonize your wedding by having other aspects of the reception and church decorated with these types of containers. You can even have the guests take their gifts home in some of these baskets or pails.

This type of decoration might not be the best idea for a bride looking for a sophisticated and refined wedding. However, if you are looking to have a more old-fashioned and rustic wedding then this will definitely give you that kind of atmosphere. Todich Floral Design, has the experience and the experts to help you realize this wedding table top idea, and every other aspect of your wedding decoration scheme. So your big event can be just as you imagined!

Silver and Gold Well-Deserved at the Chelsea Flower Show

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

silver-and-gold

So the Chelsea Flower show has passed, and who went home a winner? Well, the results are quite surprising, there was quite a contrast between silver and gold. The difference was in size; first place was taken by a tiny garden that had more greenery than flowers, while second place went to a large and colourful garden. Both gardens had one thing in common, their message.

The first garden was designed with the help of indigenous women from Cameroon. Marking the first occasion that indigenous women have come to the show to help design a display. The display was called the Green & Blacks Rainforest Garden, and it is a bit small and very overgrown. The centrepiece of this garden was a mongolulu (leaf house). But this little garden carried a large and important message; it was an attempt to make people aware of the destruction of rainforests.

The Indigenous people of Cameroon live and feed off of the rainforest, which has been deteriorating due to logging and mining. Along with the beautiful tropical plants, a mining helmet, gun and chainsaw were displayed, as reminder that their way of life is being destroyed.

An entire community designed the second display, which is the largest to date at Chelsea. The Eden Project Places of Change took up the area of three regular gardens. Prisoners and the homeless worked together to create this display (they were featured in a previous blog). And it is wonderful to see that they have done so well! The rough aspects of the display are meant to symbolize the difficult journey of life, while the doors scattered across the garden represent hope and the future.

Decoration and design can seem like a daunting task. But sometimes inspiration can be right in front of your nose! For these award-winning gardeners, all it took was an issue close to their hearts. If you are preparing for an important event in the near future, try to make the theme of the event something that you truly care about. Todich Floral Design can help you realize your ideas, with a team of experts to help.
