Floral design and beautiful table settings are an important part of any reception. With all of the  trends gracing the pages of popular wedding magazines and websites it is very easy to become overwhelmed with all of the choices being offered to brides.  Invisible Touch wants to make your wedding planning experience a joyous and pleasurable one. We have three of the top table setting and floral design trends that are currently hot for 2012 weddings.

Vintage

More and more couples are opting for a vintage look, incorporating older family photos; sepia photos of themselves,vintage frames and handwritten place and menu cards. Everything that was once old is new again.  Using ecru or light pink colored lace linens with high, silver candle sticks will give you that elegant, old world feel.   Centerpieces of Porcelana Roses, Irises, Lavender, or even Daises will make your guests feel as if they are dining in a Victorian garden.

Modern Rustic
Tightly packed, fully arranged blooms that are lush, and arranged in a more textured, compact way. The way that the flowers are arranged versus the container they are arranged in is what makes the difference. Hold on to those mason jars, but instead of having a few stems idly leaning against the side, they will be arranged in abundance.  The lacey look of  Baby’s Breath paired with a rustic branch will add a beautiful contrast to your centerpieces.   This trend is the perfect chance for you to incorporate all of your favorite blooms from childhood such as Sunflowers, Gerber Daises, and Peonies.   In an interesting twist, Brides and Floral Designers are adding unconventional items like cotton branches and feathers to their tablescapes.

Patterned Everything

The linens used to be decided after flowers were chosen. Not anymore. Using intricate graphics and patterns on linens,dresses, and everything in between is the hot trend. The flowers will instead accent the linens.Event Designers have  fallen crazy in love with using clean, structural elements in their designs for the 2012 season. Super modern, clean lines will rule this trend. When working with patterns, single exotics, such as orchids  in bud vases and neatly arranged rows of flowers is key when working with eye-catching patterns.Invisible Touch is an award winning, event design house.  We work with fabulous vendors such like Flowers by Cina and Fusion Linens to create memorable events for beautiful couples.  On Tuesday, January 24th, we are hosting a Bridal Open House at our office located at 9781 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine, CA, 92618.  This is a great chance for Brides and Grooms to experience all the great services that Invisible Touch has to offer.  On this night, guests will be able to see the exciting trends for 2012 weddings and audition our fantastic DJs and Emcees all while being offered some fabulous discounts.

Even with all that there are times that you want to do something a little out of the ordinary and different than all the other Mitzvah’s that your child has been going to. Never fear because we can do so many different themes and fun add-ons to your party that the kids will be talking about it for a long time and their parents will be calling you for advice for their party.

So say your child is a diehard Rock and Roll fan; Aerosmith, Metallica, Motley Crue, and you! Let the kids take the stage and bring the fans to their feet screaming out in excitement when they see your child slap on a guitar, sit behind the drums or pick up a microphone. Either way they will be rocking out with this popular party crowd pleaser.

The photo booth creates the classic 4 pose photo strip in your choice of black and white or color. This booth is a fun addition to any gathering but makes the carnival themed party. Add some fun Arcade Classic games like Pac Man and Space Invaders or some sophisticated simulators, Invisible Touch can bring the excitement of the arcade to your child’s special event.

Bust a move for fun and points. Dance Dance Revolution is a sure fire way to get the party started and keep the feet a tapping. Then add some energy with our cutting edge oxygen bar. Our 4 station unit includes a choice of 4 aromas at each station, mood lights, 2 menus and 300 hoses! This will be a rocking groovy dance party that all the kids will enjoy.

Our pool tables are professional grade slate top tables come complete with all the accessories you’ll need to play a great game of pool! We can add in some Air Hockey tables as well to keep the non dancers in the crowd entertained. We can even customize the felt with your logo or custom graphics.
As you can see no matter what your child’s wishes and dreams for their Mitzvah, we can come through and make it a party that no one will soon forget.

Adding lighting to your wedding reception is the easiest way to impress your guests.  Décor lighting can transform a simple room into an elegant and beautiful space, or enhance the décor in any lavishly decorated ballroom.  How much or how little to add?  This is where style, budget, and imagination come in. There are many different styles of lighting that produce different effects.

 A few up lights to frame the sweetheart and cake tables is a great start. You could opt to accent any columns, arches, or the entire perimeter with lights in your favorite color. This is a very effective way to make sure that your guests get the “Wow” factor when they walk in.

 You may choose to have your floral centerpieces lit from above. This is known as pin- spotting and adds a nice touch to each table. Monograms or custom image gobos are also a popular option. You can have your name, initials, family crest, or any design projected on the dance floor, or on the wall above your sweetheart table. In addition, you can have several “breakup” patterns projected on the ceiling to add an extra layer of texture or depth to your reception.

 Other lights can be used to spotlight your first dance and all the special events. These spotlights help create a formal atmosphere. They also help to make your pictures look spectacular.  Another option, if you are having an outdoor reception, is to add Italian style market lights. These strings of lights are used for outdoor area lighting, but also add a traditional flair to your event.

 If having some form of décor lighting isn’t an option for you, don’t forget the candles!  Displaying candles and votives of different sizes and shapes on your tables and around the venue will make a tremendous impact on the ambiance of your wedding. Sometimes just the candles are enough to make your reception beautiful. However, adding subtle decorative lighting is a great way to set your wedding apart from others.

Meanwhile, at corporate headquarters, Laura-Lee Hartung has been combing through her list of a select 700 guests, checking such details as whether Disneyland’s catering chef has prepared a menu that meets the needs of a visiting girl with certain food allergies. And Kevin Frawley has been lining up a cast of nearly 100 musical acts and other entertainers for a one-time-only show with a pirate theme.

The Walt Disney Co. has done hundreds of movie premieres through the decades, including several at the Anaheim park, but perhaps nothing quite like the extravaganza that will accompany the first public showing Saturday night of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” projected in 3-D onto a giant screen on Tom Sawyer Island. In addition to the care and feeding of some 2,000 guests (the 700 who bought tickets at $1,000 each — proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of America — plus 1,300 invitees), seeing to the safety of the estimated 25,000 fans who will line the black (not red) carpet along Main Street for a chance to wave at stars Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz and others, there are special issues connected to an outdoor showing of a 3-D movie.

Nearly 500 employees have been preparing for the premiere for more than a year, before director Rob Marshall shot the first frame of the film. For Hartung, in charge of ticketing and guest communications, Frawley, head of entertainment and talent, and 16 other Disney department heads, it’s been a period of being “joined at the hip, well, at the BlackBerry,” said Mike Kern, vice president of special events for production.

Their headquarters is a claustrophobic room crammed with blueprints, planning photos and mock-ups. They’ve dubbed it “the war room” and like officers at the Pentagon, they know how to keep their secrets, including how they decide who gets invitations and where they are seated (a dart board is involved, says one planner, quickly explaining that he’s joking) and how much the whole thing costs. Still, in a recent interview, key members of the team talked about some of what went into planning the first big, splashy premiere of the summer movie season.

A lot of effort was put into adapting the previously used outdoor screening set up at Disneyland to the demands of 3-D.

“The viewing angle for 3-D is narrower than what you get for 2-D,” explained Kern. A narrower viewing area meant that the seating area had to be extended over the water, hence the need for the divers. Chief projection engineer Kevin Rosenberger needed a crane to set his projector on a 30-foot high perch separate from the seating.

“We make sure that the structure the booth is on is separate from the bleachers, so as our guests move back and forth they aren’t going to affect the projection,” says Rosenberger. The screen itself is 10 stories wide and six stores tall and is placed nearly four stories above the water line. And when the lights go down, they won’t be kidding around; nearly 10,000 lights will be turned off inside the park when the movie begins.

Before the park goes dark, premiere patrons will be treated to a lavish party that includes easy access to the park’s rides and a special menu of salmon, five-bean salad, mixed baby greens and baked sage derby mac ‘n’ cheese. The food will be served at restaurants on the west side of the park, which will be closed to other guests beginning in midafternoon.

Tivoli Terrace has two distinctly unique levels. The bride to be can make a dramatic entrance into the upper terrace chapel by walking up a grand staircase. Then you and your guests are surrounded by twinkle lights, antique wood doors, flowering plants, lush greenery, fountains and a beautiful arbor for your ceremony. After the ceremony you make your way downstairs to the reception area where you can be greeted by candlelight, stained glass, and a giant California Sycamore tree and antique gazebo to display your wedding cake.

Depending on the time of year guests might enjoy gorgeous tents draped with lush fabric and lights, or an open air courtyard that shows off blooming bougainvillea and the nature that surrounds the property. Winter, spring, summer or fall, Tivoli Terrace is the ideal romantic location for timeless weddings and receptions.

Don’t forget that if you are a bride to be that we are still doing our Bride giveaway with $3000 that you can use toward your lighting and entertainment services for your wedding.  We will be doing the giveaway the end of April.
