When your guests arrive at your wedding, wow them with a great first impression! Elevate your wedding with some unique details. Get inspired with the latest wedding news about fun new wedding trends that are sure to impress.
Everyone expects to get a drink when they arrive at your reception, but a pre-ceremony cocktail is a lovely surprise. 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. Be sure to have a non-alcoholic version on hand for minors and those who prefer not to start the party quite so early. Some couples like to set up alcohol free welcome drink stations. You could set up a charming homemade lemonade stand for an outdoor summer wedding or a gourmet cocoa bar for a holiday ceremony.
Special floral arrangements are commonly used as a badge of honor at a wedding. You can treat all of your friends and family like VIPs by giving them all corsages or boutonierres. A very original wedding idea is to create a make-your-own-corsage station that guests can use when they arrive at your wedding 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. The ladies will have a great time creating their own lovely corsages. Just think about how pretty everyone will look in the pews all decked out in flowers!
Do you know how your guests will travel from the ceremony venue to the reception location? A wonderful idea is to have transportation available to take all of your guests to the reception. 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. Refurbished school buses are a fun option if your wedding is not formal. A tour bus would be a fun form of transportation for an urban wedding. What a fun surprise this will be for your friends and family.
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. Make advance arrangements with the venue for the ushers, or have your teenage nephews do the job. It is a gracious touch that people will really appreciate.
One final way to wow your guests is with custom lighting. It is incredible the difference that specialty lighting can make. You can do all sorts of things with lighting, even make it look like it is snowing. The different elements will add up to one impressive wedding!
