perhaps the most difficult colour scheme to pull off successfully as you run the risk of looking like Joseph and his amazing techni-colour dream-coat if you get it wrong."
"Hmm, not such a good look," Amanda sighed. "It does include the colour red that I desperately want."
"If you do it correctly, the effect can be incredible," Nicole explained.
"We would need to use accents rather than blocks of colour. Yellow tablecloths, a small, elegant circle of red and purple flowers mixed with greenery in the centre of the table, would look sensational."
Amanda gasped with excitement when she saw Nicole's example on the computer screen.
"I think I'll be going with a tetrad colour scheme," she said decisively.
"Well, you should probably take a few days to think about it before making your final decision," Nicole cautioned.
"The colour scheme is very important."
"I think it would be a good idea to pay a visit to your wedding venue, once you have a few ideas in mind," Evette suggested.
"You should look at the colour schemes on the floor and the walls. There's no point in settling on a scheme only to find out a week before the wedding that it clashes with the surroundings."
"I would never have thought of that," Amanda gasped.
"Also, remember to look up," Nicole advised.
"The lights in the venue will create an atmosphere. If you plan to use candles, we'll need to make sure that the lights can be dimmed, most can, but it's better safe than sorry. If the venue has very grand decor and lighting, it's probably best to keep the table centres simple and elegant. However, if the venue is quite plain and you want to make a statement when your guests arrive then we'll have to put in some effort to make the room come alive."
"I wouldn't know where to begin," Amanda looked stricken at the thought.
"Don't worry." Nicole patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"Evette and I are your wedding planners. We are here to help you with everything. There are many companies that will provide us with decor for the day; from chair covers to balloons, chocolate fountains, ice-sculptures, casinos, even light-up dance floor and monogrammed rugs, there are plenty of ways to make your wedding unique."
"Gosh, there's so much to think of," Kian groaned.
"I know, it's mind-boggling," his fiancee agreed.
They both looked a little shell-shocked from the amount of information that Nicole had bombarded them with.
"Everything will work out perfectly," Nicole soothed.
"However, we do need to make our decisions fairly quickly as we don't have a lot of time. When you decide on your colour theme I'd appreciate you letting me know as soon as possible as I'll need to contact your florist and stationers. They often have suggestions for themes that can be easily overlooked. We'll have a look at their designs and see if there are any that fit your theme or they may be able to create a bespoke design that is similar to one of their previous creations that's still in keeping with your personal style. "
"I feel completely overwhelmed," Amanda said shakily.
"Never mind the Champagne, I could do with a strong cup of coffee."
"I'm just at the end of the phone or an email whenever you need me," Nicole smiled sympathetically.
"Don't be afraid to ask questions or to look for something a little quirky. This is your wedding day. It's not an exam. There are no right or wrong wedding reception themes. It simply comes down to your imagination."

"Wow! You deserve a standing ovation for that performance, Nicole."
Evette got to her feet dramatically and gave her sister a resounding round of applause.
"Stop it. Don't be ridiculous," Nicole laughed with embarrassment at her sister's praise.
"Where did you learn all that information? I never knew that there was so much detail involved in wedding planning."
"You know me; I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to the fine details. I learned most of it from planning my own wedding. Paul wouldn't let me
