Ideas may stem from a bunch of your beloved flowers, unusual piece of fabric, or new places you have visited. Take inspiration for your wedding theme from the natural and cultural world encompassing us. Displaying warm earthy tones and flavors of hot lands to create one of a kind’s Middle Eastern bridal reception.
Wedding colors: Experiment with bright natural colors for a graceful and sophisticated Middle Eastern style reception. Glorious gold, orange and vibrant red are colors of arid dessert, jade and azure found in the sea.
Reception hall décor: You could easily create eastern style decorations with an emphasis on the use of rugs, fabrics and embroideries. Find an extravagant piece of fabric to use as a runner or tablecloth and add napkins stencilled with gold fabric paint. Use bright color braids and tassels for trimming table napkins.
Think about using of smooth and sleek materials for decorating the reception room. Ideal if you could find the place with darkened wood plank floors, which can be covered with natural fibre rugs of a sandy desert color. Use multicoloured cut-crystal glass and silvered-cups which sparkle in the candlelight to add glamour to your party. Hunt antique shops, markets and even yard sales in your region for interesting pieces.
Flower arrangements: For creating the tropical atmosphere you can make
extensive use of plants; the more exotic the plants, the better. Amongst the best known and easiest to get for eastern decorations in plants are orchids. You could set them in ceramic pots along the center of the table. A single orchid looks elegant nestling in a miniature wineglass or wooden cup. Another exotic looking flower you might consider is amaryllis. Placed in a tall glass or timber container, this magnificent bell-shaped flower will add late summer filling to your dinner party. Do not forget about fresh herbs, fruits like pomegranates, pistachio nuts or homemade fresh baked pita breads.
Extra tips:
• A multi-colored bead bangle is perfect for setting an exotic dinner table. Save discarded costume jewelry, beads or pearls so you could later thread them to match your tableware.
• Do not forget about hidden treasures: coppers and shining glass candies spilling out of used food cans. • Choose candles in rich fall shades to make your evening mysteriously gleaming.
• Instead of using formal place cards, use bright ribbons to tie an old-fashioned luggage label to the back of each chair.
• Surprise your guest with cocktails with flower petals frozen in ice for an unbelievable vibrant effect. …. and enjoy your big day!
