Oh what miserable weather!!  Is that it then?  Summer over?  I for one certainly hope not.  In a bid to try and brighten the mood whilst the weather is like this, I thought I would pull together some ideas on different ways you can use some of our favourite (and essential) party table decorations…

It’s my birthday this month.  Well, today infact, so this blog is all about parties and party table decorations – well, as partyish as you can be when you are venturing deeper into your thirties!!

Keeping it fair again (that’s me all over) I thought I’d look at a table with a more masculine feel and a girly one.  I’ve chosen black, silver and purple for my ‘man table’  and hot pink and silver for my ‘lady table’ and I’m pretty pleased with the results (I’m allowed to say this as it’s my birthday after all!!)…

When a bountiful parcel arrived in the office at the start of the week containing some of the gorgeous products used in this blog (namely the vintage white heart namecards) I thought I would look again at white and silver table decorations as it is such a winning combination and there are so many ways you can use these colours on your special occasion tables…

Imagine our delight at The Last Detail office when we opened up the delivery of ‘Something in the air’, our latest product range full of gorgeous table decorations.  It was like Christmas all over again, but without having to feign delight at granny’s latest knitted Christmas offering!  An abundance of gorgeous products, ignorant to the miserable cold January weather, tantalisingly perched in their unopened packaging… Cue me, tearing in amongst the boxes, opening up the packing in a flurry of flying tissue paper to see what I could get my mitts on!

I’ve picked out three products that I think are going to be really popular and brought them home to have a play around to see the different ways they could be used to accessorize your special event…

Over the coming months I’m going to look at different ways of using colour in your table decorations.  Whilst it might not be top of your ‘to do’ list initially, when the day arrives and you and your guests walk into your wedding reception (before the party antics are under way!) you want the look and theme running across the tables to give that instant wow factor and be a lasting memory from the day.  Taking inspiration from everyone’s favourite chocolate maker, I thought I’d start with purple…

We’ve all been there, arriving at a wedding reception clutching our carefully chosen best wishes and if we are feeling especially generous perhaps even a cheque to the happy new couple, to then go through that awkward moment of establishing exactly where or whom our cards need to be left with, a chore that eats into valuable champagne celebration time! Time to get crafty and see how we at The Last Detail would decorate our own wedding post boxes…
