Delight Your Friends And Family With These New Wedding Planning Ideas
When your guests arrive at your wedding, wow them with a great first impression! By adding a few extra details you can make your wedding extra special. Get inspired with the latest wedding news about fun new wedding trends that are sure to impress.
A trend right now is to hand out pre-ceremony cocktails or champagne as guests arrive. Welcome everyone to your ceremony with a specialty drink. You don’t have to have a lot of choices, just a few refreshments to get the celebration started. Supplement the cocktail bar with “virgin” versions for the kids and tee-totalers. Pre-ceremony drinks don’t have to be cocktails, either. You could set up a charming homemade lemonade stand for an outdoor summer wedding or a gourmet cocoa bar for a holiday ceremony.
Typically people are given corsages or boutonierres to wear to indicate that they are VIPs. But if you feel like all your guests are VIPs, make them feel special with corsages or boutonierres of their own. I love the new idea of creating a DIY corsage and boutonierre making table at the ceremony. You can set up a cute display with all of the things necessary to create the floral decorations, along with detailed instructions of course. Then your guests can have fun designing their very own custom floral adornments. It will add such a lovely festive feeling to your ceremony to have all of the guests adorned with fresh blossoms!
How are people going to get from your ceremony to the celebration venue? If you really want to show how thoughtful you are, consider renting transportation for your guests. Be sure to select something that suits the general theme of your wedding. If your wedding style is vintage inspired, search for an antique vehicle like a trolley. A big yellow school bus could be fun if your style is more whimsical. Or hire a double decker bus to take your guests on a short tour of the city on the way to your reception site. It is a fantastic way to foster a group spirit and make your wedding more fun for everyone.
Something else that is making wedding news right now is the idea of having reception ushers. At most weddings, people have to use a seating chart to find their seats for dinner. Think about how classy it would be to have handsomely attired ushers take each couple to their table. Your caterer or reception venue can help you arrange for the ushers. The personal service is sure to impress everyone.
One final way to wow your guests is with custom lighting. It is incredible the difference that specialty lighting can make. With custom lighting effects you can transport your guests to an enchanted forest, a field of flowers, or a snowy winter wonderland. When it all comes together, your wedding will be a day to remember!
