Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a popular theme for weddings and showers and other parties. It’s elegant and classic and fun (can be whimsical if you want it to be) and lends to lots and lots of options and interpretations. For a wedding, it takes care of “something blue” (Tiffany box blue). Here are some ideas for incorporating a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme or motif into your wedding, shower, or other celebration.
Colors: Aqua (Tiffany box) blue, white, black, silver (platinum) (you might also add another accent color like pale pink or lavender)
Design elements: boxes/squares; white satin ribbons; diamonds (engagement rings); New York (NY skyline); tiaras; little black cocktail dresses (such as for bridesmaids); big white satin bow on bride’s dress; up-do’s
Signature appetizer: little tea sandwiches, cut into squares (some with white bread, some with bread dyed aqua blue – you can find bakeries who will dye bread various colors)
Signature cocktail: Aqua blue martini’s (with vodka, maybe blueberry vodka, Blue Curacao, and lemonade or lemon lime soda; maybe, served in square martini glasses); or blue champagne (just add a small about of Blue Curacao to a champagne glass and fill the rest with champagne)
Favors: small aqua blue favor boxes filled with aqua blue jelly beans for the men and diamond ring key chains for the women; or (pictured) blue diamond paper weights in white organza bags
Flowers: white flowers, such as hydrangeas, peonies, or roses, accented with aqua ribbons
Centerpieces: Aqua square vases (or even actual Tiffany boxes) with abundant white flowers and a big white satin bow stuck in center, and white ribbon cascading down the sides (maybe Tiffany boxes made of aqua blue carnations)
Wedding Cake: you can have a cake made to look like Tiffany Box with white ribbon cascading down
In addition to a wedding cake, or if your event is a shower or other celebration, you might consider these adorable little Tiffany box petit fors
