Tiffany Style Wedding

The days when all weddings were monotonous are long gone: classic competitions, dresses of the bride and groom, dresses and costumes of guests.

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

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

Jewelry wrapped in elegant turquoise boxes is the cherished dream of every woman, because they are recognizable everywhere, emphasize the taste and well-being of its owner. Nevertheless, Tiffany might have remained only an expensive brand, if not for one event.

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

From that moment on, the name “Tiffany Style” appeared. Audrey Hepburn, who played the main role, is still an icon of this style. Her image is being recreated and will be recreated for more than a dozen years. It is noteworthy that the tailoring 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;
• mandatory presence of retro accessories: gramophone, antique mirrors, a car of the last century, black and white photos;
• plenty of natural light and space.

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

Thinking over her own image, the bride should consider two criteria: simplicity and elegance.

The dress can be both long and short. As an elongated model, a simple option in a straight cut floor is suitable. Among the short models, you can choose a laconic sheath dress or a product with a skirt to the knees.

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

The girl’s wedding makeup should be both simple and stylish. Be guided by the trends of the described era - then long arrows, huge, almost doll-like eyelashes, were in fashion. But the lips should not be highlighted, just lightly tint them with nude lipstick or flesh shine. The bride's hairstyle should also meet the retro style. 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 a dark or light gray palette will be a good choice. The shirt should be snow-white. The image is complemented with an ordinary turquoise tie, bow tie or a 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 design is not only well-chosen images of the newlyweds and a properly decorated hall, but also the presence of a huge number of little things, each of which contributes to the overall look of the holiday. Consider all the subtleties in stages.

• Unlike the bride’s dress, cute details are appropriate on invitations: lace, small bows, rhinestones, beads. The main thing is to stick them in moderation.
• Since the wedding itself is held in retro style, make sure that the invitations are printed in ornate, calligraphic handwriting. You can also write them by hand. A great idea would be to artificially age paper.

• Balloons;
• the arch at the table of the bride and groom;

• Instead of large chandeliers, elegant glass garlands are allowed. They will give the general atmosphere not only luxury, but also home comfort.
• Give up the familiar pillow for rings, replacing it with an elegant box with the company logo. A similar idea can be used on banquet tables, serving cakes in bright turquoise boxes.
• Stock up on beautiful lanterns in delicate 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, he was Audrey's favorite. Your guests will undoubtedly appreciate this innovation, and the representative of the cat family will become a real star of the banquet.

Before moving on to the banquet component of the celebration, You should consider a few tips on how to beautifully design a table.

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

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

By the way, French cuisine is perfect for the Tiffany style. Surprise your guests with such wonders as frog legs, ratatouille, a rooster in wine. A mandatory part of the table is fresh fruit. From alcohol, it is advisable to prefer a light pink or white champagne. There should also be beautifully decorated sweets: cupcakes, macaroons, chocolates.

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

The best solution is to buy a cake in 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 interwoven hearts or swans. This is standard, boring and uninteresting. But ordering a cake in the form of gift boxes is very unusual. In addition, the Tiffany & Co logo can be engraved on the “boxes”.
