Question from Margaret:
Help…. I have only 31/2 months to get a party together for my parents I want to use a emerald city theme and can not find or think of any ideas…..
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Margaret. I assume by Emerald City, you are referring to the Wizard of Oz? Well, it seems simple enough—go green, or more specifically emerald in your decorations. It need not be “over the top” but subtle–green napkins, green candles, flowers with lots of greenery or even green flower decorations with no other colours—just many shades and textures of green.
Depending upon your plans, you might need an aisle runner. You can create a “yellow brick road” on an aisle runner if it would suit your overall style. Get the sound track from The Wiz, and see if there is any music in there that you can use in the celebration you are planning.
When doing speeches, you can incorporate little “Oz” humour, like referring to one of them being a wizard for remaining married so long, and so forth. Use your imagination and enjoy!
