Borrowed:
Wear a veil that has been worn by family or a friend

Blue:
Wear turquoise or sapphire jewelry

Old:

We love hosting cocktail hour in the courtyard 🤍

Happy snow day! ❄️ We hope that everyone stay safe and warm today.

Wedding Tip Tuesday 🤍

Make sure to carve out some intentional alone time with you and your fiancé/spouse! Have a first look, a moment for private vows, or even ask your caterer/planner to provide a private cocktail hour spread for the two of you in one of the upstairs suites.

Some couples even come up with a secret word or phrase to let each other know “my social battery is draining! Let’s take a moment just the two of us.”

Who says you have to use a seasonal palette? If the bride loves florals, you can still have a pastel color palette and create a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere for a winter wedding.

💫 Wedding tip Tuesday ⚡️Curious how you can save money on florals?

💐Bouquets take up a large part of your floral budget! Consider something different for your bridesmaids! Summer time wedding? Have your crew carry a fan! Wintertime wedding? Cozy up with a shawl. Or opt for nothing at all! We promise - it won’t feel as awkward as you might think!

🌷Ditch the boutonnières and corsages! After all of the hugs and celebrating post ceremony, they usually look a little sad anyways.

🌹 Ask your florist about repurposing items from the ceremony to the reception. Having both in the same venue makes it super simple for their team 😉

🌸 Put flowers where they’ll make the most impact. If you expect many of your guests to dance, don’t worry so much about centerpieces. The bar is always a popular place so consider going big!

Seating chart or not? We get asked this question a lot! Developing a seating chart can be intimidating but we are here to help!

What are the benefits of having a seating chart?

✨ It helps to avoid buffet line bottle necks
🤍 Provides a space for the less dance-y or elderly guests to gather

Where to start with your seating chart?

🪩 Easily assign family tables
⚡️Decide where the bride & groom will sit - sweetheart table or head table?
💍 Seat the older or more conservative crowd away from the dance floor and speakers so that they can chat with each other without having to talk over the music
💫 One of your friends coming alone? Seat them some of your most outgoing friends who you know will make them feel welcomed

Once you tackle the seating chart, it will fall into place! And we are always here to help

Feeling intimidated by creating your reception layout? We’re here to help!

Step 1: Set the dance floor. Worried about splitting the floor plan in half with the dance floor? Don’t be! Keep the party people near the dance floor, or at the tables that are farthest from the couple - they’ll be happy to have quick access to their stage 🕺🏼🪩💃🏼

Step 2: Decide where you and your new spouse will sit! Head table? Sweetheart table? Put that in place & the guest tables will be arranged around that

Step 3: Add guest tables! Using prism, it is easy to ensure that guest tables aren’t too crowded - but you will want to consider the flow for catering staff and/or people to make their way to the buffet

Wedding tip Tuesday 🤍⚡️Consider a day of rehearsal! What are the benefits?

💍 Ease of scheduling, particularly if you have out of town guests or family.

👌🏼It’s fresh in your mind! And a good way to keep the nerves at bay

🌸 Spend more time gathering and enjoying each other’s company on the evening before the wedding
