When looking at Save The Date cards I mentioned to my clients that they can either use cards that are going to be the same as the invites themselves or they could go completely random - up to them. It got me thinking though about how important is co-ordinating everything, do people expect it at weddings and can you go over the top?
Well I definitely think there is a very big danger of brides getting Co-Ordinationitis! This is a very real problem and I've seen it at weddings many times, for example having absolutely everything heart shaped or initialled, or having the colour theme absolutely everywhere - one bride even wanted co-ordinating loo roll in the toilets! I think that may be just going a little too far! lol
If you are starting to wonder whether you have a little too much of one colour then I think its probably safe to say you have too much so may be time to tone down a little.
There is a lot said for being fairly random - it keeps the guests guessing and also enables you to be able to have a wider choice range about things. I'm a big fan of Sex and the City and one thing I really loved in the film about the wedding that never happened (sorry if I've given the plot away and you haven't seen it!) was that the 3 bridesmaids all wore different dresses and different colours - did it look weird? NO - it looked FAB!
I've done weddings before where the bridesmaids have all worn different colour dresses and it looked wonderful. We didn't stop there though - the seating was on tables of 8 and the bows on the chairs were 8 different colours. The whole day was colourful, vibrant and of course very different - everyone loved it!
So once again, the moral to my story is - dare to be different, think outside of the box and dont be afraid to not follow the crowd - you're guests will love you for it!
