How to Throw a Wedding Everyone Will Still Be Talking About Years Later
A truly fun wedding goes beyond the usual checklist. It’s about setting a playful, authentic tone that surprises your guests from start to finish. Leave it to us to help you design your dream wedding. We’ll work with you to find ways to create an unforgettable wedding that will be talked about for years! Here are a few fresh ways to make that happen:
Purposeful Personal Touches
Forget cookie-cutter details and favors that don’t make it home of the table. Name your signature drinks after inside jokes or places or pets. Include a mini “museum” of your relationship milestones, or have a table displaying items from your shared adventures. Choose a ‘favor’ that guests will actually use, and leave your names and date off. Don’t worry, they’ll remember it came from your wedding. Speaking of wedding swag – we love these trucker hats from Kristin and Jeffery’s. Favors and details like these make your guests feel more personally invited into your story.
Music that Moves Everyone
A great DJ or live band is always key to a fun wedding. Consider a mini acoustic set during cocktail hour or surprise guests with a short performance by a friend who sings. Have a musician walk around during cocktail hour or on the dance floor playing or singing – think traveling musician. While we’re at it, let’s bring back the flash mob because why not? When the music and atmosphere is fun, the dance floor will light up and the memories cemented.
Interactive Moments with a Twist
No one will ever forget the wedding with a mechanical bull (where NO one stayed on). They’ll always remember the live painter who created the most meaningful portraits in real time. Create an Instagrammable moment to encourage couples and families to take a fun photo for the fridge. Lawn games are always a crowd favorite during cocktail hour (think giant Jenga and corn hole). These experiences keep your guests entertained while you’re getting you’re taking pictures.
Bold Bites & Creative Sips
Mini comfort foods are fun, but go all-in on something that screams YOU. Whether it’s a pop-up donut bar or an unexpected late-night taco truck. Making it about YOU as a couple IS trending. So if late night cereal is YOUR thing then have that as your late night snack. How about an espresso martini tower? Maybe mix up a mocktail named after your pet or a craft brew created at a local brewery you love. Guests will love these personal (and delicious) surprises.
Spaces That Invite Connection
Think beyond the standard tables and chairs. Set up cozy lounges with cozy seating and string lights for that soft glow and ambiance. How about a s’mores station under the stars. Offer up blankets and a fire pit so your friends and loved ones can settle in and enjoy themselves comfortably.
Surprise Elements
We’ve all LOVE sparkler exits and fireworks, but feel free to go rogue before the grand exit. A mini confetti toss at the end of your first dance, or a second look before the cake cutting. These little twists keep guests surprised and having fun.
Be Present and Soak It Up
The greatest success in any wedding is a relaxed couple enjoying themselves. Enjoy every moment and just lean on us for all the logistics. Be present and keep your sense of humor close at hand. When you’re genuinely enjoying yourself, your guests will follow suit. Get pricing and book at tour.
