Table 6 Productions Blog

When we talk about new trends, we try to share ideas with you that are our own, but their are also great ideas we have heard about from others, that we must share! Sometimes, an old idea will spawn a new idea for us, or we will put our own Table 6 Productions twist on something. So, a few ideas we would to share….

• Signature Cocktails are still a hit! But Pomegranate Martinis are out…Try the Wedding Cake Martini. To die for!

Try the recipe:1/2 ounce Absolut vodka , 3 ounces Amaretto , 1/2 ounce orange juice, 1/2 ounce pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon heavy cream

• New Color Combinations - we love all the new hot color combos and have even put a few of our own together…Here are just a few!

Navy Blue/Yellow/White, Eggplant/Chocolate Brown/Copper, Sapphire Blue/Amethyst Purple/Ruby Red, Black/White Vintage Damask and Aqua/Red/Yellow, Orange/Blue/White, Pewter/Violet/Turquoise

• Pre-Cocktail Ceremonies before the ceremony - invite guests to the wedding 30 minutes before it actually starts. Have servers greet them with Champagne Cocktails, a strolling violinist, and a little nibble! This will really set the tone for a great evening!

We are constantly trying to come up with creative ideas for our brides guest books and place card displays. A few ideas we are currently doing with our brides for guest books are:

• A Jazz Record that will be signed by guests for a couple who loves music and the Groom is a trained trombonist
• A Water Fountain that will greet guests at the entrance of the reception, actually representing the Trevi Fountain in Italy, where the bride and groom got engaged. Instead os signing something, guests will be asked to make a wish for the couple with an Italian coin and asked to throw it into the “Trevi Fountain” (*later - the couple will display the coins on their mantle)
• A Vintage Photo Booth will be used to take strips of photos of the guests, then they will be placed inside a black album and guests will sign by their photos.
• Postcards will be printed with the couples mailing address and stamped. Then the guests will fill out the postcard and place it inside a metal mailbox at the reception. The postcards will then be mailed out and waiting in the couple’s mailbox for them to read when they return from their honeymoon.

A few ideas we have tried for place card displays are:

• Potpourri Sachets with Suction Cups that will hang from inside a window with the guests name and table on it
• Monogrammed Shot Glasses with a Lemon Slice Place Card on the rim that will be used later for a Lemoncello toast to the Bride & Groom, in place of Champagne
• A Deck of Pink Playing Cards inside a Pink Satin Pillow Bag with a Rhinestone “B” on the front and a wrap with the Name and Table #
• A “Wall” made of fabric with the place cards tucked inside or pinned to the “wall”
• An Old Wheel Barrel filled with Mosses and Dried Grasses with Swirly Brown Picks holding each place card
• An old restored “shabby chic” wooden door leaning against the wall with ribbons hanging from it showing the place cards displayed
