It's a beautiful Friday afternoon on Cape Cod, just another day in the stream of one of the sunniest, brightest summers I can remember. It's been a string of good luck for this summer's brides and other party throwers, and I was looking through some of the pictures of this season's parties. We love it when brides share their photos with us -- seeing how all the choices they've made add up to a perfect setting is very rewarding.
One of the most common questions we hear at Party Cape Cod is how to evoke the unique atmosphere and landscape of Cape Cod in their party. There's no other place in the world like the Cape, although I admit I may be a little biased, and we understand completely the urge to pay tribute to it. I love the beachy themes people put together -- from the beautiful sea-toned blues to the shimmering champagne satin, beach themes can be anything from fun to truly elegant. Using the color palette of the seashore isn't the only way to bring a touch of the Cape to your event, however. Check out the usage of bright summer colors in the events below!
One of this summer's brides wove in the idea of bright summer colors into her wedding linens. The combination of the bright orange paper lanterns hanging over her dance floor and the summery lime green organza sashes was fun and festive. It definitely evoked the carefree and cheerful atmosphere of summer here by the ocean.
A bride visiting the showroom recently was considering adding a touch of green to her theme. She was complementing the color of her bridesmaids' gowns, a shimmery raspberry, with chair sashes and runners in the same tone. I was happy to agree that the beautiful sage she was adding in with her floral centerpieces would compliment her choices. "Some things," she said, "look better on the Cape. Some color schemes wouldn't work anywhere else."
It's certainly hard to argue that the color combination works! This setup, a lime green gingham linen with sage and raspberry organza sashes, is often mentioned as an inspiration by our clients.
