Vivid colors and their intensity have a goal to emphasize the meaning of celebration as real love is never blank.

Fluffy, colorful florals, romantic yet catchy will take your guest’s breath away. Setting them in front of the white Greek chapel, and mixed with minimal transparent ceremony chairs, is where the traditional and amusing part will happen.

No better way than adding to your decoration funky and edgy elements by mixing various colors and structures of glass and silverware with colorful stationery and disco balls.

You can design your wedding dress with soft sequins and a flawless mermaid-style bottom that perfectly matches any groom’s black tie appearance. Once the dinner begins, the less official part of the wedding opens. It is a moment of makeover. A sexy jumpsuit for the bride and a change of hairstyle into rich “Hollywood” style curls is our proposal. Play around with your jewelry and do not avoid shiny rocks!
