@titanicEVCC Looks like hundreds of yards of tulle or organza----probably rented from the hall, florist or a rental business. It would be EXTREMELY expensive to buy this much material yourself (but probably not really hard to do, just time consuming) but the end result is just gorgeous, airy and romantic.
@risey, (Part II) Obviously the skirter is trying to ensure that he or she would not get short and ended up having an overhang. No one noticed it since most of the guest are overwhelmed with the results. You noticed it and I noticed it being an old teacher of this artistic hand designs of table skirting or table drapes. I did this teahcing thing last 1980's on Cebu City, Philippines.
@riisey, (Part I) Relax; this is a very tedious thing to do if you really see how they did it. This is a big problem of the skirter most of the time. There are a lot of excellent designs out there the skies is the limit. Once the skirter get in the zone the problem is to control the drop of the skirting or table drapes. Especially, if there are so many designs and colors used. Every single design created and connected by a seamstress pins it will move up the drapes.
@risey, (Part Iv) It is a normal routine and another design will be made again it depends of the size of the table and the uses. Either it is for presidential table, secondary table, buffet tables, gift tables, etc.
@risey, (Part III) There is an easy way to control the drop or the overhang. Only few of them had got it, I think they are consumed with their concentration in doing the design and ignore this part. Once the Ornate skirting designs are done no one of them wanted to dismantle it and redo it again due to time constraint. Eventually, after the party or the service this will be dismantled and the linens are rolled back again.
@SusanBiz This is one of the excellent. With regards to lighting effect my suggestion based on my experienced is “Imagine the effect if they used several colored lights”. Most wedding receptions have a color motif. Obviously this one has white and pink, if they added a few pink spotlights underneath the tables. The same result with what they did with the linens. Just a few ones to avoid spoiling the effect, am I right? Conratulatons for the hands who did it!
@acd719 Yes it is! Do you know that every single design is connected by a seamstress pin? Done by hands with a lot of patience and artistry. Then after thw reception it will be simply dismantled and rolled again for the next service. Of course with another design as you can see out here.
Here are some tips from www.weddingplanningfun.com for making a decoration more adorable. • Simple pictures of the bride & groom. • Place Balloons in corners. • Place candles on tables as centrepieces and/or in other areas around the reception hall. • Fruit & Fruit Bowls on tables.
