An ancient egyptian wedding soiree As an event designer my clients come to me with a simple idea with the expectation that i develop their abstract vision into a full scale design concept.One such idea is an egyptian themed wedding.When i think of egypt:The majestic pyramids, elaborate hieroglyphics, the eye of horus, henna, and an abundance of gold comes to mind.To begin the process of designing a wedding theme i begin with the fundamental elements.These elements include:Location, d attire, and stationary. The location for your wedding ceremony and reception dictates the style and ambiance for your entire day.For instance, you would not wear a full length ball gown for a wedding on the beach.Location is vital and must be considered first.For an egyptian theme the opulent and picturesque egyptian ballroom at the fox theater in atlanta is fully replicated to model a middle eastern palace.If atlanta is out of the way here are a few design elements that will make any venue fit for an egyptian soiree. Integrate the ornate colors of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, turquoise, malachite, yellow, indigo, red, and black into your event.During ancient egypt colors were often paired.Silver and gold, red and white, green and black were considered complementary colors. Locate beats by dre sale cheap a production company that can create an arabesque entrance for your ballroom complete with rented palm trees and silkflame burners. Decorate using obelisk, famous egyptian monuments figurines, and cartouches.Home goods is one of my favorite stores for unusual d elements. (Cartouches are the oblong enclosure with a horizontal line at one end.Written on them were the egyptian hieroglyphs of royal names. ) A decorous idea is to use the names of famous egyptian monuments and places to label each of your guest tables.For instance, cairo, the sphinx, the nile river, giza, luxor, and valley of the kings. At each place setting a small pyramid shaped favor box with a hieroglyphics flash card(Etsy merchant:Asrtiegyptos)Tag is a nice conversation piece.The flash card would contain your wedding date, names a hieroglyphic and the glyph description. Search for lotus flower votive holders(Colonial candle has drdrestudio a wonderful clear glass replica). Use hemp or linen http://www.teamskyuser.co.uk/beats-by-solo-diamond.html table linens. Create a lounge setup in the fashion of an egyptian bazaar with large floor cushions, short hammered brass tray tabletops, rugs, and lanterns. For added entertainment for your guests consider a sphinx ice sculpture, belly dancers, and henna artists. The night before wedding day, in traditional egyptian culture, the relatives, the friends and the neighbors got together to celebrate with a henna night.Incorporating a henna artist into your wedding reception would be an ingenious way to represent true egyptian customs and serve as a wedding favor.Another favor idea would be to give each guest an ampoule of fragrant nofret oil.Nofret oil is a perfume once used in the ancient kingdom of kush.Nofret, an ancient egyptian name means woman accompany the oil with a label stating the purpose of the oil and its origin for guests.Esty merchant, amandajones, sells this natural oil. Flowers are another important aspect of your wedding day.Have your florist create a bouquet using roses with a few hibiscus and iris blooms.Instead of having your maids carry bouquets have them drop rose petals as they walk down the aisle.Create a white aisle runner and use gold paint to embellish it with golden lotus flowers or the eye of horus.Other flowers you may are water lily, lotus, cornflower, red poppy, and sweetsmelling jasmine. Moving away from d the next fundamental element for your egyptian soiree would be the style of your attire and ornate jewelry.Etsy is one of my favorite places to find handmade custom jewelry.Etsy merchant, dianashyejewelry has several egyptian inspired necklaces with matching earrings and bracelets.For your wedding gown i would take inspiration from cleopatra and nefertiti.Think large collar necklace, a mantilla veil, white, elaborate gold embellishments(Gold needlework is a nice touch), delicate material in chiffon or another light weight fabric.For your bridesmaids select a gown that is a one shoulder style dress or has an empire waist.For shoes keep it strappy and metallic.For your groomtobe and groomsmen gift them gold scarab beetle cufflinks.The scarab beetle is the egyptian symbol of rebirth and transformation. Stationary options are endless;In keeping with the theme, print on papyrus or parchment paper.Use gold ink to give your stationary a regal look.Incorporate hieroglyphics, ankhs, lotus flower, or cartouches, in the as well design.Like your stationary your cake can be as creative as you make it.As with any projects your want to be successful, use the internet and your local library as a resource to find as much as you can about ancient egypt and their wedding customs.Create a celebration that is authentic and has meaning to you.Guests love when a common thread is woven into every element of an event.Give them something to talk about.
