I always design the cake last, because I like to pull something in from the wedding or couple’s style . I have used a detail from the wedding gown, invitation or even the couple’s new formal china as my design inspiration for this sweet ending. Frank J. Andonoplas, MBC frankeventdesign.com This season is all about understated elegance with hints of the unexpected . I love the idea of traditional table settings that bring in non-traditional elements like over the top animal prints in monochromatic or rich jewel tones. Also, lots of sparkle incorporated in new and unique ways. Table runners or napkin choices are a great way make your table sparkle in a playful, imaginative way. Jesse Deckard, Senior Wedding & Event Design Consultant at Event Creative eventcreative.com Weddings with crisp, sophisticated design and simple color schemes of neutral ivory/whites accented by gold, silver or even purple are very popular. Regardless of your color décor selections, make sure the mood is just right with accent lighting that will enhance the venue and ensure an unforgettable ambiance for guests. Miranda Thomas, Senior Catering Sales Executive, JW Marriott jwmarriottchicago.com Brides tend to be asking about heavy hors d’oeuvres with funky and creative desserts and plan to skip the entree . This is a fun way to do something unique with your meal and be a little non-traditional. Wayne Harth, Director of Catering at the Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park fairmont.com/chicago Today’s bride is looking for the heirloom of tomorrow and quality is still the main focus. Round stones are the preferred shape this year, but a beautiful mounting can transform a center stone that never goes out of style. Merry Richards Jewelers merryrichardsjewelers.com For a wedding with a modern edge, the ghost candelabra is a creative centerpiece that perfectly juxtaposes a traditional look with contemporary flair . It works beautifully with fl oral table decor or simply as a stand along creating a dramatic look in any ballroom or venue space.
