Any diamond will carry a romantic message to a beloved bride, but only one will set her heart on fire. A diamond that is so perfectly cut that it has all the classic elements of a diamond’s beauty—brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. A diamond that sparkles like a red-hot fire. A Hearts On Fire diamond.

Style Tips #31 through #34 on Floral Decore, Tabels, Guests & more… #31 FLORAL DECOR No wedding is complete without flowers. Try updating the traditional centerpiece by using masses of your favorite flowers in a variety of complementary tones for added texture and interest. For instance, if your bloom-of-choice is the gerbera daisy, try one centerpiece with dozens of red gerberas, another with orange, and another with fuchsia-colored bunches. Let your imagination run wild! Ariel Yve, Soiree Design Group #32 WHO’S WHO? Bringing families and friends together for the first time at the rehearsal dinner can create a real memory test. Nametags can help to connect names with faces. Brides can make up special tags to go with their wedding theme. Adding “MOB” and “FOG” can also help identify the mother of the bride and the father of the groom. The nametags are for the rehearsal only; on your wedding day they will all know one another. Carol & Christa, Make My Day! #33 HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR You can have an “Old Hollywood” theme to your wedding, complete with a big band, signature martinis passed, lamps on each table facing a big stage, and possibly a classic black-and-white movie playing on a wall during the reception. Feather boas and pin striped suits will be seen along with feathers in your floral arrangements and top hats on the men. Have your photographers and wait staff create the mood by dressing in theme clothing as well. Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner #34 TABLE LINES Square and rectangular tables are very “in” right now, but the extra cost of renting specialty linens for these tables can be prohibitive. One alternative is to make a table runner to go over the basic white linen that most facilities provide at no extra charge. You can find gorgeous fabric by the yard at fabric stores or in your local garment district. To make the runners, fold the fabric in half and cut down the center. Voilà—two table runners and a dramatic look for a fraction of the cost! Aimee Gallagher Wedding Consultant |
