I always encourage my clients to go the non-traditional route when incorporating design elements into their next event. What is your favorite plant or flower? What color reminds you of your first date? What about the location, was it candle lit or full of color? Just by answering some basic questions, you will start in the right direction determining the look and feel of your event.
For example my mother loves bamboo and actually has several of them around the house. For her it signals good luck and prosperity. Not only do they make great favors but can be incorporated several ways into your décor. Bamboo offers many of the senses to be involved, from the familiar look to the texture. And I know what you are thinking; no you do not need to be Asian in order to incorporate bamboo, just a lover of all things beautiful!
I love how the real bamboo barks are incorporated into these centerpieces.
