3) SAFETY AND SANITATION STORAGE
Everyone has heightened concerns about sharing germs for good reason right now, so most brides, grooms, and planners are accounting for that with measures such as face masks, hand sanitizers, and disinfecting wipes. This doesn’t have to be as sterile as it sounds, though! Spruce it up with cute baskets and other display options.
2) TENTS, TENTS, AND MORE TENTS!
Many people would still prefer to socialize outside, so tents are a great way to provide the safety of outdoor air flow without the risk of rain. Book a tent to ensure everyone can party without the weather dampening the fun.
1) BRIGHT COLORS
Boy, 2020 was a doozy. Many of the spring weddings being planned were meant to take place last year and couples have incurred added costs and stress in their planning process. Despite the pain, people are ready to celebrate JOY and they’re doing so with pops of bright colors to represent their prosperous future ahead.
Ideas to make your wedding *pop*
The Wedding Day decor and all of the rentals are simply there to create a portrait of the couple’s love. But, how can they do that in a way that isn’t “blah” and hasn’t be done a million times before?
Decorative signage
Have booklets made with your love story or important milestones inside. This is also something guests can take home. Or have a map of cities you have visited together with guests’ names on them. Instead of having your tables numbered, name them those same cities, indicating to guests where they should be seated. Are you from Georgia? Use a real peach as your escort card. Stick a flag toothpick with their names and tables. Or do you both like basketball? Use mini basketball hoops. There are so many options here.
interactive games
Lawn games, word search, corn hole, giant jenga, checkers. Fun games during cocktail hour will definitely be a hit with guests. It loosens up the crowd.
Scrap the cake, make an entire dessert bar!
If you are having a wedding in the Fall or Winter, add a hot cocoa or hot chocolate bar to your cocktail hour with all of the good fixings. It adds a warmth and coziness to your day. It is also great for kids.
