Trend Forecast for 2012: Lace is Everywhere

At Felici Events we make it a priority to follow the latest trends in event planning, and lace is quickly rising to the top of the list. Since her widely-publicized wedding to her sweetheart Prince William, Kate Middleton’s long-sleeved lace dress has inspired many brides to incorporate lace into their weddings. Brides are now repeating the pattern from their dress in their invitations and even their desserts! Whether it is seen in the wedding decor or on the bride herself, lace is sure to be a lasting trend for weddings of 2012.

Star of David Inspiration for Bar Mitzvahs


star of david inspiration Star of David Inspiration for Bar Mitzvahs

This recurring Star of David motif was a great way to tie in a ‘light’ theme of one of our recent bar mitzvahs. This modern take on the star was not only featured on the man of the hour’s cake, but was repeated in the invitations, dinner menus and table numbers. A theme like this helps an event become more connected and adds fluidity. This subtle symbol is a great way to remind everyone at the gathering what a great time it is for this young man or woman; a time to celebrate the young adult’s coming-of age and first of many steps into maturity.

Cards and Star of David logo were created by Lazaro Press, who did an amazing job of bringing out the star shape amidst the existing circular pattern.

Christine Dahl of Christine Dahl Pastries paired the offset yellow Star of David with blue fondant on the outer layers of the cake. Between each layer of the three-tiered cake sat a transparent box filled with lights and shimmering sparkles.

Lime Green and Purple Decor – Another Felici Event

How to Create a Theme with Colors

An elegant and fun way to create themes can be done thru color schemes and shapes.
A great example is this REAL FELICI WEDDING for Jennifer and Stephen who used purple and green spheres as their inspiration. To convey the theme to guests right off the bat, their invitations by Lazaro Press included the lavender and pale green puffs.

On their reception night at The Canary Hotel, Nico Designs adorned each table with a centerpiece featuring giant green and purple chrysanthemums orbs resting on beds of rock.

Lighting is a dramatic way to convey a color scheme that immediately changes the mood of a room. Bella Vista Designs lit up the evening celebration with lavender lights around the room.

A wedding cake is the culmination and epitome of any wedding’s theme. Instead of creating a polka dotted cake, Montecito Confections used green chrysanthemums trailing up the side of the cake and onto the top adorned with cymbidium orchids.
