Sandra and her fiance took a trip last year to Kenya and loved the country, so they want to have a Safari/African theme. She knows she wants to use the colors red, black, brown, and her favorite animal print - leopard! And she loves candles. The welcome drink will be in the garden and the reception will be in a ballroom. All the ideas Sandra has found so far have looked really cheap. She has expensive tastes but a limited budget (like most of us : ) and wants to find ways to incorporate glamour and class within the safari theme.
So this week is dedicated to Sandra and her Safari theme wedding! Every day I will be posting some ideas that will hopefully inspire Sandra with her planning. And if any of you have ideas that may help, please feel free to give your input!
A fabulous party planner, David Tutera in his book, Big Birthdays,
ReplyDeletedoes a 65th birthday that is safari-themed. There are beautiful pictures, and he details the party, from invitations to the table. He creates these amazing decorative tribal masks from plastic round sleds (you know the ones kids slide down snow banks on), paint and raffia, and even makes safari chair covers with burlap. And the table is amazing. Definately alot of ideas that can be duplicated on a smaller budget. Good luck!
Love the picture you have posted. What a fun week this should be! =)
