5 Elements That Make for an Unforgettable Wedding Reception!

Eliana Nunes — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 16:08:33 +0000

While the ceremony is a significant and beautiful part of any wedding, we all know the reception is where the real fun begins! But, planning a reception can be very intimidating. From deciding on the right menu to please all guests to the reception decor, to seating arrangements, it can be hard to know where to begin. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming!

Here are five helpful tips to ensure your wedding reception is a huge success:

1. Thoughtful seating arrangements and clear seating chart.

Have you ever gone to a wedding reception and felt out of place at the table you were assigned to? Well, I have, and let me tell you, it’s the worst feeling! To avoid putting your guests through that, I highly recommend assigning seats that create the best dynamic for good conversation and connection. You want every guest to be around people they can connect with. There’s nothing worse than someone who’s single sitting at a table full of couples with children. It’s essential to take time to thoughtfully decide where each of your guests should sit. It takes time to plan this properly, but it’s so important to provide your guests with the best possible experience.

What Is Gown Preservation (And Do You Need It)?

Kate Pankoke — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 05:39:45 +0000

Your wedding flies by in a beautiful blur and your gown that was once pristine now bears the evidence of how much fun you and your guests had. There’s dirt on the hem, someone spilled champagne on it, and your partner may have stepped on it once or twice while you were breaking it down on the dance floor. No worries – this just means you had a great time! While it can be tempting to just put it back in the garment bag and push it to the back of your closet – try to resist the urge! It’s super important to have your gown cleaned, and preferably no more than one month after your wedding (the sooner, the better). The longer the stains stay on the fabric, the less likely they are to come out.

Here’s Exactly What Goes Into Your Gown Budget

Kate Pankoke — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 18:26:02 +0000

You’ve got your first bridal appointment scheduled, your gown inspiration board curated, now all that’s left is to decide just how much you are willing to spend on your gown. It may seem like a simple question, you may have already set aside a specific amount when you were determining your wedding budget, or a friend or relative may be gifting you the gown and determined the budget for you. But your gown budget needs to cover so much more than the gown itself. So, before the bridal consultant asks you for your budget, make sure you’ve accounted for everything.

We’ve all heard of the engagement photos, the bridal portrait session, and even a boudoir shoot. But lately our feeds have been full of gorgeous couples in incredible locations captured in the latest photo trend – honeymoon shoots!
