Glorified Cleveland Inspiration Board: Yellow Weddings

April 19, 2011

We are starting a new series on our blog titled "Glorified Inspiration Boards". There are tons of wedding themes and styles for brides to choose from. We'd like to highlight some of our favorites and then go a step farther to let local brides know how to go about executing these plans right here in Cleveland!

Our first post features a yellow wedding theme, which we are seeing more and more of on the wedding blogs and magazines.

Yellow is the color of happiness and sunshine!





Best season for this theme: Summer or late Spring


Cleveland Venues that would work well for this wedding style:

Cleveland Botanical Gardens

Hanna Garden at WRHS

Marriott at Key Center

Kirtland Country Club

A tent set up in any beautiful outdoor area

Music:

  • Vibrant live music for dinner: how about an accordion player for a fun, expected feel?
  • An 80’s band would be an energetic and unexpected touch, check out The Breakfast Club!
  • Some fun song choices for your big events: Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles, Bright as Yellow by the Innocence Mission, Yellow by Coldplay, Holiday by Madonna, Firework by Katy Perry, Hello by Martin Solveig

Other ideas:

  • Passed snowcones at cocktail hour instead of specialty drinks – containing delicious recipes with alcohol
  • Fruit infused vodka – pineapple, oranges, lemons
  • Serve a very “summer-y” menu, maybe with spicy gazpacho served with a pineapple sorbet as a first course!
  • Spring flowers such as billy buttons, ranunculus, yellow anemones, daffodils, roses, sunflowers and Gerber daisies work well!
  • Accents of gold or amber with the yellow would be beautiful
  • Offer guests margarita mix drink packets as favors
  • Floral silhouettes in lighting at the reception in a toned down amber hue would be amazing!

Stay tuned because this yellow wedding style is currently in the works for Kirkbrides for a June wedding. We can't wait to post pictures!


Did I leave anything out? Do you have an idea that would work well with this yellow Cleveland wedding? Please comment and let me know!
