Wedding in the style of "Tiffany"

The days when all the weddings were monotonous were gone: classical competitions, bride and groom dresses, dresses and guest suits.

Today it is fashionable to stand out. Any girl wants her wedding to be truly special. An interesting option that combines a bright modernity and strict retro, is the style of "Tiffany".

The Tiffany Company, founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany, is a model of luxury and genuine jewelry.

Decorations packed in elegant turquoise boxes are the cherished dream of every woman, because they are recognizable everywhere, emphasizing 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 incredibly emotional, touching and beautiful. It reflected not only the morals, but also the spirit of the era.

It was from that moment that the name "Tiffany Style" appeared. Audrey Hepburn, who played the main role, to this day is an icon of this style. Her image is recreated and will be recreated for more than a dozen years. It is noteworthy that the tailoring of all the costumes required for the film was 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: gramophone, antique mirrors, car of the last century, black and white photos;
• plenty of natural light and space.

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

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

The dress can be both long and short. As an elongated model fit a simple version of the floor straight cut. Among the short models, you can choose a concise dress-case or a product with a skirt to the knees.

However, this does not concern accessories at all. If you recall the film, you can note the number and size of jewelry that the actress wore. Feel free to complement your look with massive beads, an elegant tiara, a bracelet or a necklace. A chic bow will work if the bride wears lacquered gloves or a retro hat.

The wedding makeup of the girl should be both simple and stylish. Be guided by the trends of the era being described - then long arrows, huge, almost puppet 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 meet the retro style. Perfectly look high babetty, combed curls. It is recommended to add a hairstyle with a light translucent veil.

For the groom, a suit in a dark or light gray scale will be a good choice. The shirt should be snow white. The image is complemented with a usual turquoise tie, bow tie or a stylish neck scarf.

The boutonniere is also very important - it must be designed in the color style of “Tiffany”. Shoes for the future spouse pick up black, preferably lacquered. Guests of the male half of the celebration should stick to the same image.

Wedding decoration is not only well-chosen images of the newlyweds and a properly decorated hall, but also the presence of a huge number of small things, each of which contributes to the overall look of the holiday. Consider all the details in stages.

Any wedding begins, of course, with planning. Future spouses are busy with many things: meeting with a toast-master, choosing a venue, trying on clothes, finding a photographer and many others. No less important in this bustle is the preparation of beautiful invitations, because they will set the mood for the guests.

There are some tips that will help determine the best type of invitation cards.

• Do not forget that turquoise color should dominate. White, beige tones and ivory colors can complement it. A good option will be warm chocolate colors.
• In contrast to the bridesmaid dress, cute details are appropriate for invitations: lace, small bows, rhinestones, beads. The main thing is to stick them in moderation.
• As the wedding itself takes place in a retro style, make sure that the invitations are printed in florid, calligraphic handwriting. You can also write them by hand. A great idea would be to artificially age paper.
• In the 60s, envelopes with images of roses were peeping fashions. It would be appropriate if you pick up these for their cards. In addition, you can order and print the logo of the company.

• elegant saltcellar and blue pepper;
• sachets with fragrant herbs;
• beautiful handmade soap in a shade of turquoise;
• artificially aged coasters for hot;
• 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 drops.

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

The basic concept of style emphasizes the right color scheme. However, this does not mean that guests should "sink" in a solid turquoise. Focus only a few elements:

• ribbons and bows on the chairs;
• Balloons;
• the 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 made in cream, pastel colors. In addition to fabrics, the hall will help to decorate the abundance of beads, pearls. It is important to pay attention and vibrant colors. Perfect fit bright roses, large gentle peonies.

• Instead of large chandeliers, graceful glass garlands are allowed. They will give the overall atmosphere not only luxury, but also home comfort.
• Discard the usual ring pads, replacing it with an elegant box with the company logo. A similar idea can be used at banquet tables, serving cakes in bright turquoise boxes.
• Stock up on beautiful lanterns of gentle blue tones. In the evening, they can be released into the sky, like balloons.
• If you like animals, “invite” to the celebration of a solid red cat. In the film, it was he who was Audrey's favorite. Your guests will surely appreciate this innovation, and the representative of the cat family will be a real star of the banquet.

Before moving on to the banquet part of the celebration, should take into account a few tips on how to arrange a beautiful table.

• The first thing that needs to be done is to prepare a seating card for each table. Cards must fully comply with the style of the holiday.
• The tablecloth should be white, in the napkins allowed to take in blue.
• It is better to pick up all the dishes from crystal, tableware should be wrapped in turquoise napkins made of paper or fabric materials.
• Be sure to take care of the decoration of glasses - you can add them with elegant beads, hand-painted, bright satin ribbons, golden monograms.

The ideal solution would be a table where every guest will be able to eat, and continue to have fun without gravity in the stomach and suddenly appeared laziness. Order light salads with yogurt, poultry meat in sweet and sour sauce, cutting from expensive sausages and French cheeses.

By the way, French cuisine is ideal for the style of "Tiffany". Surprise your guests with such wonders as frog legs, ratatouille, cock in wine. Mandatory part of the table are fresh fruit. From alcohol, it is desirable to prefer a light pink or white champagne. Beautifully decorated sweets should also be available: cupcakes, macaroons, chocolates.

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

The best solution would be to buy a cake in a menthol tone, decorated with decorative sweet roses, beads, edible pearls. Since Tiffany loves simplicity, give preference to a cake without a bored decor in the form of intertwining hearts or swans. It is standard, boring and uninteresting.
