Bringing Casual Elegance to a Wedding by the Sea
- "Destination weddings" are a fast-growing trend,
a consequence of today's mobile society in which
families and friends are widely scattered. To
gather the clan and the kindred, couples
increasingly forego a "hometown" Pronovias Farnes
for an appealing and accessible location. Among
the most popular choices are seaside resort
communities in general and the Florida Keys in
particular.

- Often a seaside destination calls for a change in
traditional wedding or, and coastal references
sail to the top of the decorating selections.
Ellison Bay, a collection of wallpapers and
borders from the Piper Designs division of S.A.
Maxwell Co., gives planners a wealth of patterns
to help create a San Patrick Edith ambiance that
is both appropriately casual for a seaside
setting and, at the same time, suitably elegant
for a momentous weekend wedding celebration.

- Sailing ships or maps of the world provide ideal
symbolism for a bride and groom about to embark
on a new life together, and Ellison Bay has
several patterns of both of these motifs to
choose from. In one vacation home that we
re-decorated in preparation for a coastal Sottero
and Midgley Margaret Wsm9011, we wallpapered the
living room with a medium-scale print of sailing
ships and lighthouses, bringing together the
colors of sand and sky.
4
- The walls are accented on top with a coordinating
border on which the ships are in close
configuration and interspersed with ocean-washed
red, white and blue buoys Allure Couture C111,
flags and other nautical objects. Above the
walls, which are topped with clean, white wood
molding, is a ceiling, wallpapered in a subtle
sky-blue overall pattern.
5
- The border is used again to flank either side of
a coffee table, transformed to hold the bridal
shower gifts and, at its center, a beautifully
decorated cake. To make the cake the focal point
of this intimate gathering, Casablanca 1852 we
found a cake plate with a six-inch-high pedestal
base and turned it into a platform for our
deliciously inviting centerpiece.
6
- The platform is a square box made of cardboard.
Its span is two inches longer and wider than the
diameter of the cake, and it is open on the
bottom. The sides are surrounded with a
blue-and-white wallpaper border with large red
stars, which we carefully outlined at the edge
and cut around the stars to silhouette them. We
turned the box upside down, placed it over the
cake plate and centered the cake on top of it so
the cake is elevated, appearing to float just
above the gifts La Sposa Felicidad. The gifts
themselves are also in keeping with the party
motif, wrapped in assorted Ellison Bay wallpaper
and border patterns that coordinate perfectly
with the coastal theme.
7
- To preserve the feeling of this joyous occasion
and its seaside setting, the bride created a
"memory book," using papers from Ellison Bay as
its pages. Inside, following the Maggie Sottero
Charlotte A3320, she will maintain an assemblage
of mementos -- her garter, pressed flowers from
her wedding bouquet, and a special poem from her
bridesmaids -- along with photographs, casual and
formal, of her coastal wedding weekend.
