Tiffany wedding

Long gone are the days when all weddings were monotonous: classical contests, bride and groom outfits, dresses and costumes of guests.

It is fashionable to stand out today. Every girl wants her wedding to be really special. An interesting option that combines bright modernity and austere retro is the Tiffany style.

The Tiffany Company, founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany, is an example of luxury and true jewelry craftsmanship.

Jewelry packed in elegant turquoise boxes is every woman's cherished dream, because they are recognizable everywhere, emphasize the taste and well-being of their owner. Nevertheless, "Tiffany", perhaps, would have remained only an expensive brand, if not for one event.

This film turned out to be incredibly soulful, touching and beautiful. It reflected not only mores, but also the very spirit of the era.

It was from this moment that the name "Tiffany Style" appeared. Audrey Hepburn, who played the main role, is an icon of this style to this day. Her image is being recreated and will be recreated for more than a dozen years. It is noteworthy that the sewing of all the costumes necessary for the film took place not without the participation of the actress herself.

The Tiffany style has several key features:

• bright turquoise tones in combination with white, beige, cream;
• the obligatory presence of retro accessories: a gramophone, antique mirrors, a car of the last century, black and white photos;
• an abundance of natural light and space.

A Tiffany wedding is the perfect choice for those girls who want to highlight their romance, individuality and sense of style.

Thinking over her own image, the bride must take into account two criteria: simplicity and elegance.

The dress can be either long or short. As an elongated model, a simple floor-length straight cut is suitable. Among the short models, you can choose a laconic sheath dress or a product with a knee-length skirt.

However, this does not apply to accessories at all. If you recall the film, then you can note the number and size of jewelry worn by the actress. Feel free to complement your look with massive beads, an elegant tiara, bracelet or necklace. A chic bow will turn out if the bride wears patent gloves or a retro-style hat.

A girl's wedding makeup should be simple and stylish at the same time. Follow the trends of the era described - then long arrows, huge, almost doll-like eyelashes were in fashion. But the lips should not be highlighted, it is enough to slightly tint them with nude lipstick or body gloss. The bride's hairstyle should also be retro-styled. Tall babette, combed curls will look great. It is recommended to complement the hairstyle with a light translucent veil.

For the groom, a suit in dark or light gray would be a good choice. The shirt should be white. The image is complemented by an ordinary turquoise tie, bow tie or stylish neckerchief.

The boutonniere is also very important - it must be sustained in the Tiffany color style. Shoes for the future spouse are selected black, preferably varnished. Guests of the male half of the celebration should adhere to the same image.

Wedding decoration is not only well-chosen images of the newlyweds and a properly decorated room, but also the presence of a huge number of little things, each of which contributes to the overall look of the holiday. Let's consider all the subtleties in stages.

Any wedding starts, of course, with planning. Future spouses are busy with many things: meeting with the toastmaster, choosing a venue, trying on outfits, finding a photographer and many others. Preparing beautiful invitations is no less important in this bustle, because they will set the mood for the guests.

There are some tips to help you decide on the best kind of invitation cards.

• Don't forget that turquoise should dominate. It can be complemented by white, beige tones, ivory colors. Warm chocolate colors are also a good option.
• Unlike the bride's dress, cute details are appropriate for invitations: lace, small bows, rhinestones, beads. The main thing is to stick them in moderation.
• Since the wedding itself takes place in a retro style, make sure that the invitations are printed in flowery, calligraphic handwriting. You can also write them by hand. It is a great idea to artificially age the paper.
• In the 60s, envelopes with images of roses were all the rage. It will be quite appropriate if you select these for your postcards. In addition, it is possible to order an imprint of the company logo.

As a "compliment" in the Tiffany style, you can give:

• an elegant blue salt and pepper shaker;
• sachet bags with aromatic herbs;
• beautiful handmade soap in a shade of turquoise;
• artificially aged coasters for hot dishes;
• bottle openers and corkscrews (models made in the shape of a heart or a large key are considered the most attractive);
• sweets in turquoise boxes;
• glass jars with white, blue, cream dragees.

When choosing a hall for an event, give preference to a restaurant that is already furnished with the props of the era you need. This will significantly save money when renting the necessary things and creating themed areas for a photo shoot.

Mandatory attributes of the hall:

• black and white photographs on the walls;
• photographs in sepia style;
• vinyl records in a "company" with a gramophone;
• posters from the 60s.

In addition, an interesting solution would be to complement the hall with an antique telephone or typewriter.

The basic concept of the style will be emphasized by the correct color scheme. However, this does not mean that guests should "drown" in solid turquoise. Emphasize just a few elements:

• ribbons and bows on chairs;
• Balloons;
• arch at the table of the bride and groom;
• curtains;
• satin ribbons on wine glasses and bottles;
• drapery.

The rest of the entourage should be done in cream, pastel colors. In addition to fabrics, the hall will help to decorate the abundance of beads and pearls. It is important to pay attention to vibrant colors. Light roses, large delicate peonies are perfect.

Correctly selected accessories are the most important part of the holiday, therefore you need to treat this part of the design with due attention.

• Round or elongated glass vases filled with shiny menthol stones are a great idea. They will remind you of the decorations that the main character of the film liked so much.
• Instead of large chandeliers, it is allowed to use elegant glass garlands. They will give the overall atmosphere not only luxury, but also home comfort.
• Ditch the familiar ring cushion and replace it with an elegant box with the company logo. A similar idea can be used on banquet tables by serving cakes in bright turquoise boxes.
• Stock up on beautiful lanterns in gentle blue tones. In the evening, they can be released into the sky, like balloons.
• If you like animals, "invite" a respectable ginger cat to the celebration. In the film, it was he who was Audrey's favorite. Your guests will undoubtedly appreciate this innovation, and a representative of the feline family will become a real star of the banquet.

Before moving on to the banquet component of the celebration, there are a few tips to consider on how to decorate the table beautifully.

• The first thing to do is prepare seating cards for each table. Cards must fully comply with the style of the holiday.
• The tablecloth should be white, but napkins are allowed in blue tones.
• It is better to choose all the dishes made of crystal; cutlery must be wrapped in turquoise napkins made of paper or fabric materials.
• Be sure to take care of the decoration of the glasses - you can complement them with elegant beads, hand-painted, bright satin ribbons, golden monograms.

The ideal solution would be a table where every guest can eat and continue to have fun without heaviness in the stomach and suddenly appearing laziness. Order light salads with yogurt, poultry in sweet and sour sauce, expensive sausages and French cheeses.

By the way, French cuisine is ideal for the Tiffany style. Surprise your guests with such wonders as frog legs, ratatouille, rooster in wine. Fresh fruits are an obligatory part of the table. From alcohol, it is desirable to prefer light pink or white champagne. There should also be beautifully decorated sweets: cupcakes, macarons, chocolates.

The central "figure" of the table is, of course, the wedding cake.

The best solution would be to purchase a cake in a menthol tone, decorated with decorative sweet roses, beads, and edible pearls. Since Tiffany loves simplicity, choose a cake without the boring decor in the form of intertwining hearts or swans. It's standard, boring, and uninteresting. But ordering a cake in the form of gift boxes is very unusual. In addition, the "boxes" can be engraved with the Tiffany & Co logo.
