Wedding Themes We Love! | Part Two | San Diego Catering

Welcome back for

Part Two of our “Wedding Themes We Love” Series!

 

Last time, in Part One of our series, we focused on Formal/Traditional and Modern themes, and while their elegance will never falter, we’re kicking our heels off for this post!

 

Vintage

 

Softer than a modern look, a Vintage theme can express old-world elegance minus all the polish of the two previous ideas.

With the clever use of repurposed antiques, Accessory Tables can add to the overall feel of a rare collection brought back for your special occasion.

 

 

Bringing in classic cars, or vintage dresses can add that flair for the refined charm you’re seeking.

 

A new trend that fits perfectly with this theme is the bold lounge areas with well-loved furniture we keep seeing!

 

 

Let your guests lounge in luxury, taking iconic social media pictures on these gorgeous styled sets!

 

 

Don’t forget the vintage bus!

 

 

The dining style to best fit this theme is a couple’s choice, meaning anything could fit beautifully because of the flexibility of the motif.

 

Try a buffet-style service and include a gorgeous antique visual focal point to bring cohesion to the room.

 

Art Deco!

 

 

Great Gatsby-esque parties are a fantastic inspiration for the vintage, yet glitzy, couple who want to really wow their guests.

 

 

This lavish, golden glamorous motif is a blend of vintage, modern, and formal.

 

So feel free to have that seated dinner style and keep the dance floor alive with a full jazz band!

 

 

For invitations, you can’t go wrong with zippy fonts, intricate geometric shapes, and sharp lines.

 

 

Think “vintage allure,” try to seduce your guests with luxurious champagne promises, and hypnotize with glitter.

 

 

Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box with this theme!

 

Exquisite hotels don’t have to be the only option for this motif; we’d love to see someone recreate an “Orient Express” experience for their guests.

 

For the dining style, we suggest Small Plate entrees at food stations around the room.

 

This motif is all about being young, vibrant, and lively!

Keeping the dining style more socially inclined with some smaller cocktail, or belly-bar, tables for quick bites on the go will suit this energy the best.

 

 

More themes are yet to come, so keep an eye out for Part Three of this series, coming soon!

 

Tawny and Jacob at the El Cortez

Tawny and Jacob kicked off a busy weekend full of events  for Personal Touch Dining with their Wedding and Reception at the El Cortez in downtown San Diego. With help from Wedding Coordinator Erin Melton from Behind the Bride, the reception was filled with beautiful shades of Pewter, Sage Green, Pistachio, Ivory, Champagne & Blush Pink that all blended together so elegantly. Adina from Simply Adina provided the gorgeous tall centerpieces that decorated each guest’s dining tables that helped bring all of the accent colors together. Tawny and Jacob were such a wonderful couple to work with and we wish them the best in their future together!

El Cortez

The historic El Cortez is located downtown and has everything you would need for an elegant wedding. The Don Room can hold up to 250 guests and features a 24-karat gold carved ceiling and beautiful 100 year old flooring. You can have your ceremony and reception in the Don Room or out on the spacious terrace that holds up to 600 guests.

Elenor and Gene at El Cortez

This reception flourishing with cherry blossoms couldn’t have been set at any other time but Spring! Elenor designed and assmbled the beautiful centerpieces herself. Her guests had their choice of triple entrees with Orange Pecan glazed Salmon, Artichoke Chicken, and Grilled Tri Tip. I love the little lighted fountain underneath the cake! The fabulous uplighting was provided by Daniel Peterson.

Shelia and Edwin at the El Cortez

Starting with chic lounge furniture and cigars on the patio for cocktail hour all the way to a gourmet dessert bar at the end of the night, safe to say Shelia and Edwin’s guests got everything they could hope for and more. Adding a coffee bar for their guests to have made-to-order lattes and esspresso, and a candy bar, there were a lot of special touches.
