TOP 5 | FOOD STATIONS

October 23, 2019

Food stations get your wedding guests out of their seats, mixing and mingling while they eat. Whether it be before, during, or towards the end of the reception, functional and flexible food stations are a twist on traditional plated dinners or passed appetizers. A few of these stations may require extra staff help (see: Taco Bar), but for the most part, these stations can be set up and enjoyed without very much tending to.

If you’re looking for new ideas for your cocktail hour or ditching a seated dinner for something a little lighter (and more cost-effective), we’ve compiled a list of our Top 5 Favorite Food Stations!

Charcuterie

Perfect for grazing guests during a sophisticated cocktail hour. Be sure to include things like fruit, hummus, and cashew cheese for your non-meat eating guests.

Pizza

A Make-Your-Own Pizza station or Pizza Bar will be a surefire hit! Guests can customize each of their slices or pick from a pre-determined bunch of the couples choosing.

Taco Bar

My personal favorite, Taco Bars, are great for relaxed receptions. They’re quick, easy, and delicious. YES PLEASE!

Fry Bar

Give your guests the gift of choice with a Fry Bar, the more dipping sauces the better. Healthier options like baked sweet potato fries can also be substituted.

Pretzel Station

These savory or sweet treats will keep your guests busy all night long. A few pretzel bites during cocktail hour, few more while you dance, and a final round as you say our goodbyes. There’s no such thing as too many.

TOP 5 | NEON SIGN MOMENTS

October 16, 2019

Wedding neon signs are all the rage and we’re fully on board with this trend! Not only do neon signs provide some eye-catching and moody lighting, but they’re also a way to make a statement in a big and beautiful way. Neon signs can be focal points in ceremony or reception spaces and can double as DIY photo booth areas (just add props).

Worried, they might not work with your wedding day aesthetic? Neon signs can be customized to nearly any wedding style; the color, script, and size are up to you. These vibrant signs can be custom made (YouTube is full of tutorials of varying difficulty) or specially designed for your wedding day. If you really want to get your money’s worth, they can double as a major conversation starter in the middle of your living room when it’s all over. Whatever way you slice it neon signs are accessible, stunning, and a contemporary way to show your personality. These are our Top 5 Neon Sign Moments!

Married Name

Celebrate the new couple with a celebration of your new married name and the next phase of your life.

Initials

Keep it clean and simple with the couple’s initials in soft light.

Romantic Decor

Create a lovey dovey feel with a romantic red lit heart.

TOP 5 | NON-SPARKLER EXITS

October 10, 2018

You’ve planned your wedding down to the very last detail. You know precisely where every flower should be placed, what every musical cue means, and who should and shouldn’t be sitting together, but you haven’t quite figured out your exit strategy. Grand Exits (or exit tosses) are an opportunity for your friends and family to celebrate you one last time before you ride off into the sunset and for your photographer to get some crazy beautiful shots.

You’ve seen 100 different sparkler exits (which were all beautiful), but you want something different! Well, we’ve rounded up our TOP 5 favorite non-sparkler wedding exits for you and your boo on the big day!

Paper Airplanes

Keep it cute and whimsical with a paper airplane toss at the end of the night. You can even re-purpose programs or other wedding stationary for it!

Wild Flowers

Wildflowers are a great toss idea for the environmentally friendly/hippie-dippie couples worried about what’s left behind.

Smoke Bombs

This exit idea might be more challenging to pull off at night, but if you used them sporadically and at just the right time, you’ll be OBSESSED with shots your photographer captures.

Fall Leaves

Take your love of Fall to the next level and incorporate pretty fall leaves in your wedding exit. Plus, the leaves will blend in with all the other leaves on the ground, which means little to no clean up required!

Beach Balls

A beach ball exit is an excellent way to keep the party going, especially if you’re getting married at a beach or lake! And if you want to go the extra mile, customize your beach balls and they can double as wedding favors!
