Timeless Glamour

Timeless Glamour

The perfect theme for all you glamour pusses out there! This theme is all about stylish elegance and extravagance using plenty of black and white decorations teamed with diamante, for a touch of that Hollywood sparkle.

     

The elegance of a black and white theme lends itself to a more formal style, reflecting the sophistication of a bygone era. The great thing about this theme is that it fits in with any sort of venue location and event, so be it a fabulous wedding or a sensational party, you can make the Timeless Glamour theme work for you.

The basic colour palette for this theme is black and white - think of them as yin & yang - they are meant to be together! Touches of silver and grey can work beautifully to highlight the black and white.  You could also think about having an accent colour and since the basis is black and white, most colours will work.  As the theme is very sophisticated, you may find that stronger colours, such as red, will give a striking result.

Sparkle is a must. Add elegance to simple, graceful gowns with crystal beading or bejewelled accessories and ensure that hints of sparkle are mirrored throughout the day.

Floral displays that work best with this theme are either classic or modern. For timeless classic displays, think about having masses of white roses arranged in simple dome shapes. If your event is in the spring, then black tulips are simply stunning. For more modern floral displays, consider creating a striking look by displaying a few amaryllis or orchids in tall vases. Emphasise the simplicity of the white flowers by incorporating black ribbons into the displays, either tying around the stems or around the vases, either works well.

Dramatic lighting works superbly with this theme. Large silver candelabras and oversized individual candle stick holders containing long elegant taper candles create impressive and ambient lighting. 

     

Below are a few ideas to get you started on how to decorate your venue and table settings in harmony with a Timeless Glamour theme:

  Crisp white table linen and napkins are a must as a base for your tables, contrast these with black accessories, such as black ribbons tied around the napkins
  For some real stunning sparkle on your tables, sprinkle them with sparkling table gems   
  Leaving your guests a token of your appreciation, in the form of a black favour box filled with chocolates, makes a real impact on the tables.  Especially if the favour boxes are layered on top of white napkins
Crystal bubbles not only provide an elegant way of entertaining guests, they also look beautiful on the table
  Sparklers can be an easy and low cost way to add some pizzazz to your party!

     

Here are some extra, rather extravagant ideas, to add to the magnificence of your Timeless Glamour theme:

  In a nod to the sophistication of days gone by, consider arriving at your venue in a vintage car trimmed with a traditional white ribbon
  After your ceremony you could release a single white dove, as a symbol of faith, fidelity, peace and love
  A string quartet provide a classical ambience to entertain you and your guests during the champagne reception
