Seating information can sometimes be very difficult to present so that it is engaging and interesting.
I absolutely love this option with the picture frames and can't wait to recreate a similar look for one of the Spring events!

The ambiance, coziness, intimacy, and safety as well as protection from the elements are some of the many reasons why brides, grooms, and planners like myself love tented weddings. But building a wedding structure is nothing like putting together the tent. Getting it right takes just as much work and requires equally as much planning, so it's always best to just call us.

Things to remember:
1. Pick a Tent Model
2. Get the Proper Size
3. Find the Right Spot
4. Reserve It Early
5. Know Your Venue's Rules Before You Book
6. Have a Rain Planโ€”and Don't Forget the Walls
7. Consider Flooring
8. Think Hard About the Temperature
9. Do a Sound Check

Some couples like to get the party started with wedding reception games, ice-breakers, and other interactive experiences, which might include bride and groom trivia, wedding reception games, well-stocked photo booths, and plenty of fun activities for the kids during the wedding, too.

Outdoor weddings work especially well for these kinds of activities since there is ample space to spread out, but indoor weddings can definitely benefit from these activities as well. Having some wedding day games sounds like a lot of fun, so go for it! We have put together a list of the 7 best games and activities for wedding reception guests of all ages.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: A traditional wedding cake will never go out of style. But why settle for a classic, white confection when your wedding day should be an event that is uniquely yours?

Whether you just aren't a fan of standard big-day cakes or are obsessed with a specific sweet treat, your wedding dessert is the perfect opportunity to share your tastes with your guests.

Ready for inspiration? Consider dressing up a traditional cake with additional treats (macarons or doughnuts, for example), opting for an entirely different sweet (hello, brownies and waffles!), or embracing a non-cake dessert that celebrates your wedding location or heritage.๐Ÿฐโค

The year 2020 has taught us that anywhere can be a wedding venue.
So, how does one go about planning a backyard wedding?

Here are the tips for planning a backyard wedding:
Be prepared and have a plan

Consider hiring a wedding planner to do a lot of the work (Backyard weddings are a lot of work. Brining a wedding planner on board is an investment into making things go smoothly)

Find your vendors

Look at other alternatives if you donโ€™t have your property to use for your backyard wedding

Get creative with decorating

Follow local guidelines if planning your backyard wedding during a pandemic

Planning a backyard wedding can be difficult, that's why I am here to help you, just send a message and I'll get to it!

Micro-wedding, minimony, whatever you want to call it, they are here to stay. Small, intimate gatherings of your closest friends and family are the way to keep your guests safe and follow the safety standards of these times. The beauty of a tent is that you can customize the look and have a completely unique design. Think floral chandeliers, ceiling draping, bistro lights, draped curtain openings with floral accents, lounge furniture, and more. I especially love the idea of adding a mobile bar or food truck options for your guests to have an experience unlike any other.
