“Cool, sleek, hip/hipster.” These were the words that sprung to mind
when Nicole Hirsty of Cobalt Events sat down to create her event
design. Likewise, several images were immediately called into play:
bold shapes, clean lines, cool white, bright patterns. Together, these
words and images served as the inspiration for Nicole’s Your Wedding
Day Mod Wedding design.
Nicole began her design by
focusing on the larger set pieces, especially the egg chair and oval
ottoman which she placed mid-room as a focal point. “These pieces were
selected to create a whimsical, yet modern feel,” Nicole said. “I felt
like they were important and unique pieces to balance the room and also
great places to incorporate color.” |

Her use of color included modern white background and carpeting, with strategically placed accent bursts of oranges and pinks to “warm” the setting, including fuchsia cushions and menus. The modular walls, another focal point, evoked the idea of bright flower boxes for a spot of within-structure color.
Her tabletop incorporated warm color too. “The burst of color of the fuchsia satin napkin on the table with the menu placed on top creates layers that make your tabletop interesting and personalized,” Nicole explained. White square chargers and dinner plates and tangerine-dotted dessert plates enhanced the cool, modern theme, as did the cylindrical stemware and Euro Stainless flatware pattern.
In a final touch, Nicole noted how the egg chair inspired a daisy
frame. “When I saw all the pink daises around the egg chair, that
pulled together the whole set.”
Which couples would choose this type of wedding? Nicole replied, “A
couple who appreciates and gravitates towards contemporary aesthesis.
Mod Design can be incorporated for a casual and black-tie wedding.” She
added that her Your Wedding Day Mod event concept is ideal for the
adventuresome couple not wanting a ‘cookie-cutter’ wedding.

# 6 RECIPES FOR FAVORS
Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc. Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

#26 MARRYING MINDFULLY
Creating the “perfect wedding” can easily overshadow what is really
important about getting married—creating a sacred and lifelong bond
with your beloved. Your wedding is not a “to-do” list. Take time to
tend to your relationship and to yourselves so that you enter into the
celebration relaxed, joyful, and with a full heart.

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!
