Wedding season is HERE! Get creative, but be careful- just because something looks cool on Pinterest does not mean it actually works well in real life. Your planners/coordinators are working hard! Here are some things that in my opinion work well, and others that need to GO.
What I’m liking:
- Smaller cakes/other bite-sized dessert guests options
- Bubble tea station with reusable cups and straws! (excellent non-alcoholic treat)
- Telephone guest book (fun) or traditional guestbook (simple but effective)
- Water stations (stay hydrated!)
- Lounge areas for guests (Comfy seating placed around in a nice way for guests to relax and chat)
- Photo Booth (hire a professional and let them do the work instead of the DIY photo guestbook please)
- Hanging lighting and greenery/florals (opens up the space!)
What I would like to see less of:
- 3+ tiered wedding cake (so much work to serve and usually too much leftover)
- Floral Foam (Just no more please!)
- Artificially dyed florals (Ugh)
- DIY Polaroid photo guestbook (overdone, a planner’s nightmare, creates tons of waste, and honestly never goes well)
- Balloon arches (Ugh)
- Sparkler send-offs (I personally have seen enough)
- Tall tapered candles on candlesticks (Look pretty but…so much work, and I 100% watched as someone’s hair actually caught fire)
Thoughts? Let us know in the comments!
