Happy colors = happy spirits = happy guests + bride + groom = happy celebration! That sums ups our no-fail plan for a perfect evening. When describing our brightly-hued wedding to others, we’re sometimes met with remarks about color overload and bleeding eyeballs. 
Thankfully, Mr. Parfait and I have the same vision, and I think I know where it came from.
A while ago, Mr. Parfait’s company treated its best and brightest to dinner. A really nice dinner. They used multiple bright colors, too, and it was stunning!
Jaws dropped; coworkers raved; chair sashes found their way onto people’s shoulders. The bursts of color across the sandy beach told guests, “Loosen up; get up; and let’s paaaar-tay!”
As the sun set, the colors fell away in darkness. Below, you can see how it looked hours into the night. The right side was the boisterous dining area, lit with red and gold. The left side was the quieter cocktail area, lit in blue.

This extravagant dinner party pops into my head whenever we’re describing the mood and colors of our wedding. And when I mention it, Mr. Parfait is always thinking the same thing! Our hot pink, bright yellow, and citrus-y orange palette seems pretty tame in comparison.
Have you been inspired by celebrations you’ve attended?

wow, that looks like a fabulous party! i’d be inspired by that too!
Wow-just a guess, does your man work for Google? (they seem like a bright color party company)
Wow, “fiesta” was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw all those bright colors!
Those pictures are absolutely gorgeous!! So will you be having different colored sashes and tablecloths?
Um…are they hiring any accountants? LOL That looks like quite the par-tay! I don’t think people can help but be happy when surrounded by bright joyful colors!
Wherever it is he works - I want to channel them for my job!
Or, well, maybe channel this idea for my wedding!
That’s a fantastic use of colour! I wish I could just have everything in every colour… but that could get expensive.
omg, I LOVE all those colors!! That looks like the most awesome dinner party, ever. You two sound just like me, although my hubby is not as into the bright as I am. I did talk him into bright for our wedding though, and it turned out fantastic!
We had yellow and orange as our main colors. He and I wore ruby red accents (my shoes, his vest and tie), best man had green accessories, decor was mostly orange and yellow with some green and red thrown in here and there. People were dancing with their yellow and orange napkins, playing with the poms, and we got alot of compliments on the vibrant red we wore.
Have fun with the bright, I would love that!
Dear Miss Parfait-
You rock! Bright Colors Rock!
Keep it coming

Is this from careerbuilder’s company trip? It looks like it could be from the pictures…
those are the colors of my little sister Quinceañera Fiesta (it’s her 15th years old party, a big tradition here in Mex, like wedding but without the groom!)
She loves colors, so she picked out different color sashes and linens in red, orange, green, yellow and blue!
I love the bright, festive colors. This would be fantastic for a wedding. It really speaks to the “fun” of the event. And it would also be great if the bridesmaids were wearing something neutral like black so they wouldn’t get lost in it all during photos. Maybe for favors, the couple could give multi-colored gumballs in black favor boxes… this kind of decor makes anything possible, and enjoyable!
I’m so excited to see more for your wedding because I have the same thing with mine… we are using Fuchsia, Lime, and Tangerine and get the look of “Wow that’s bright” but we are on a yacht that is completely white and all windows… how can I not want to brighten up an April wedding?!
I love love love those bright colors! How cheery and festive!
@kmattso2: Haha, we were going to! But then we realized the multi-colored tablecloths and sashes wouldn’t work as well in our indoor space. The colors will appear in other, non-fabric places. 
What an AMAZING party! It looks like so much fun, and all the better for it to be a company event!
Those colors are so fantastic! Ohh.. I need to have a vow renewal so I can have my beach wedding with those crazy colors! Love It!
WOW I wish I worked for a company that threw a party like that! FUN! The bright colors really say “It’s time to party!”
