For many, wine is a love language. When planning a wedding, you might be wondering: What kind of wine should I serve? With so many different types of wines out there, it can be tricky to find the appropriate one to keep everyone happy.

When picking out wines, think about incorporating traditional and unique selections. Also, don't be afraid to try something new and step outside the norm. Keep in mind that the ones you choose may not please everyone, but you can choose wines that the majority will love.

The most popular red wine variety is Cabernet Sauvignon, and the most popular white variety is Chardonnay. Malbec is another red variety that many people enjoy. For more out of the box types, consider serving an Italian Prosecco, a Sonoma Chardonnay, or a Washington Merlot. These choices are unique but will still please all guests.

Don't stress if finding the right wine seems difficult. Many websites will help you select and many wine experts who you can consult with.

From beaches to resorts, there are many options available for a tropical wedding. How do you pick the right venue for your special day? The task may seem daunting, but following a few simple steps will make the process a breeze.

First, figure out your budget. Wedding venues can be quite expensive, so make sure you select a location that allows you to get the most out of your money. Opting for local wedding destinations like California and Florida will help you save money, but if you want a more extravagant location, try places like the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii.

Sit down with your spouse to visualize the key features you want your venue to have. Is it large enough to seat all your guests? Is it pet-friendly? Is it convenient to get to? Is it aesthetically pleasing? Search online for ideas. Be sure to read reviews and reach out to the venue host to ask any questions you may have.

Once you get the venue ideas together, narrow down some possible wedding dates to help you secure the venue. Take a couple of tours of your favorites selections to help you make the final decision!

There is something about a well-set table that creates the right ambiance for an event. Instead of using the "same old" table set-ups, there are many opportunities for unique tableware concepts. That way, your event takes center stage and is that much more memorable.

Choosing unique tableware involves incorporating the event's theme into your choices. For example, if you are hosting a reception at an outdoor venue, consider using chargers made out of slices of logs and adding foraged wildflowers, greenery, and twigs down the table runner.

Unique table concepts do not only involve their decor. It also involves selecting the plates and cutlery, as well. Think about the theme of your event and choose according to that, as well as the host's tastes.

The use of custom tableware is another way of adding a unique twist to your event's table set-ups. For example, if your guest is hosting a personal event, like a bridal shower or reception, place settings can be inscribed with the couple's last name. Choose colors that match the theme of the event or choose pieces that work with their home's decor.

When you plan a beach-style wedding reception or other events, you might be wondering what makes up a beautiful beach table set up. After figuring out the best music and how to keep the venue fresh, it is time to create gorgeous tablescapes using beach-style decor.

Using white as the focal point, add in details and colors indicative of the event's beach-style theme. Lean toward sandy tones, as well as blue and green ocean hues. Incorporate decorative elements, including shells and glassware featuring sea glass hues. Add white lanterns down the center of the table for romantic lighting.

The table's florals should mimic those of the bridal bouquets for continuity. For example, at the head table, place clear, chunky vases for the bride and her attendants to place their bouquets in during the reception. Then, create smaller versions of those bouquets for the rest of the table centerpieces.

You might want a more unified approach to the reception's decor. In that case, use a sandy-brown
�table runner, white florals, clear vases, and white dishes. That way, the focus is on the sandy tones in combination with greenery from the florals. When this set-up is on a wooden or white table, it creates a serene and "beachy" vibe.

Those wanting a relaxed, laid-back wedding will enjoy a rustic wedding theme. Although many couples have recently shown interest in rustic weddings, they have been around for years.

Rustic weddings have a more casual vibe and are usually held in places like barns, farms, mountain lodges, or ranches. These weddings normally feature organic materials and natural textures like wood, burlap, and wildflowers. They also have a strong country or farm-like influence.

To pull off a rustic wedding, you need the elements of a rustic vibe: relaxed, natural, and romantic. You don't have to get married in a barn to do so! Getting married in a church or a ballroom can still be rustic with the right decor.

Use earthy items like mason jars and mismatched vases and glasses. Serve home-style meals with comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, roast chicken, and freshly baked bread. Also, offer homey drinks like lemonade and strawberry wine.
Since rustic weddings are relaxed and simple, the dress code can be relaxed too! Guests can dress casually, and the couple can tone down their attire as well. Grooms can lose the three-piece suit and tie and go for a waistcoat or suspenders, and brides can wear a soft, romantic gown.

White doesn't mean boring! White decor is an aesthetically pleasing trend that continues to be a mainstay in the wedding industry. Chic and modern, minimalistic decor can elevate any room.

Use white tables and chairs to add an airy feel to your dining room or opt for white cabinets and countertops to add a lighter feel. If you prefer to use darker furniture, add a white chair or another element to accent the darker tones. You can also polish up your dining room with a white table and bright lighting.

Choose minimalistic pieces of art to accent the lighter furniture. When using white furniture to decorate a room, adding contrast can make the space pop. To add contrast, opt for black and white photos or accessories.

For a fresh take on white decor, mix it with natural materials like a wool rug. When adding white accessories, furniture, and decor to your kitchen, try using ones with unique or special designs for a more aesthetic appeal. White walls and decor work well too!

If you have a lot of colorful art pieces to showoff, placing those pieces on a white wall is the perfect way to make them stand out. Don't be afraid to try different combinations. The results may surprise you!

There are many benefits to finding unique venues for your next outdoor event. Not only does this strategy help draw a large crowd, but event-goers who are tired of the "same old" kinds of venues might also spread the word about yours. There is something about attending a widely anticipated event when it is at a unique and unusual venue.

What does it mean to pick a unique venue for your next event? First, think about what those in attendance want and need. For example, if you are hosting an outdoor wedding for people who love festivals and the great outdoors, incorporate the two. You can achieve this by hosting a wedding reception at a national forest in your area. Fill the space with yurts, food trucks, festival-style games, and fire pits for open-fire cuisine.

One of the best things about using unique venues for outdoor events is how memorial they become. Add details that are personal to you and make it your own!

10/06/2022

Event hosting isn't always easy, especially if the venue is too small. If you end up with a small space, don't stress! There are plenty of ways to maximize a venue's space to work best for your needs.

Clutter makes the room feel large and stuffy. Adjust the floor plan to allow the most space for guests to move around freely. Furniture that is too close together or curtain dividers can make a small space seem even smaller.

You don't want to bring attention to the ceiling, so avoid using ceiling decor. Light fixtures that hang too low can also shorten the space of a venue, so make sure those are hanging at an appropriate level.

When choosing furniture, opt for round tables instead of square or rectangular ones. Round tables not only seat more people, but they also allow for more decorating options. Use table cloths with one color or ones without loud or eccentric designs.

With that said, try to keep wall decor at a minimum, and focus on clean lines. Focus your color scheme on white hues and light colors to keep the atmosphere light and airy.
