What a busy year we have had at Wedding Elegance! Besides being occupied planning with our fabulous SoCal brides, we decided to enter in another Tabletop Design Contest! At the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, brides and their girlfriends came to the Wedding Party Bridal Show, where they could taste food and cakes, meet with potential photographers as well as learn about many different vendors in the wedding industry right here in San Diego!

Wedding Elegance designed two tables for this event. The first was in the Bridal Bar, which is our brilliant pink and yellow themed table shown here. This is a sweetheart table, intended for the bride and groom! Here, we wanted to show that it’s possible to mix bright, bold colors together and make it work- reflecting your culture or just a vibrant bride’s personality. We used fun little apple soaps here as favors, keeping it simple, but also presenting something that useful that is easy for bride’s to further carry their wedding theme through their tabletop design. The menus are done in an amazing clear acrylic with pink crystals and yellow etching. The perfectly over-the-top floral arrangement is expertly coordinated with the linens and chairs to create a fantasy dinner date for any bride and her groom!

Outdoors at the competition, you could find our festive orange and brown table, which bride’s actually came through and judged against the competing tables. (We’ll let you know the results when they’re in! There were several different categories, including things like Most Romantic to Best Use of Color, etc…) With this table we mixed a modern elegance with natural elements, while bringing together unique and trendy design choices. The whimsical lanterns float gracefully above a fall-like harvest setting, drawing in guests to a warm and welcoming place to eat, drink, and be merry. The fresh, clean linens are executed expertly with beautiful charger plates, silverware and ornate napkin rings. Guests names are carved on earthy wood pieces, which are setting upon Little Brown Espresso cup and saucer favors. This is a look which can be pulled off with any budget, as many of the items could be substituted out for simpler, less expensive choices, for the money-conscious bride.
