Make your wedding reception one to remember!
Weddings are a great way to celebrate love but also a great reason to throw a party! When planning the perfect wedding, many people have come up with some fun and unique ideas that make their celebration even more special. I watched wedding shows growing up, like many young girls, including Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings. I always had so much fun watching all of the creativity that went into the weddings on these shows. Today, we will discuss some unique wedding reception ideas that excite me about planning my wedding one day.
Suspended Wedding Cake
You can incorporate something different into any aspect of your wedding, including your cake! While it's pretty standard to showcase the cake on a table, this couple took a different approach and decided to display their beautiful cake in the air. The opportunities to get a little more creative are endless when you think about it. If you don't like a traditional cake, check out these ideas for cute wedding cake alternatives.
Include Loved Ones Who Have Passed Away
This one is sure to get people teary-eyed. There's a chance there are people you would have loved to have at your wedding who are no longer with us. I was at a recent wedding where they included a specific section of photos of loved ones who passed away. You may even want to have particular items or possessions of theirs that embody their spirit. This heartfelt and sentimental detail remembers those unable to attend your wedding and allows you to have a piece of them there with you.
Non-Alcoholic Beverage Bar
Alcohol isn't the only appropriate thing to serve at a bar! Whether you choose to go for something instead of booze or in addition to it, you can have a lot of fun by considering more unique types of bars to have at your wedding. For example, this wedding had a hot chocolate wall, which is so cute and perfect for the winter weather!
Outfit Change
Brides: You don't have to keep your dress on from the ceremony for the whole reception. An outfit change for the reception allows you to switch to something more comfortable to dance the night away. It also gives you a chance to have another fun outfit reveal! There are plenty of cute white dresses out there that are pretty inexpensive, so this idea doesn't have to break the bank. If you want to optimize your comfort, you can change into white sneakers or other comfortable shoes.
Reception-Only Celebration
Your vows should be a little more private and low-key. If so, you can share that special moment with your partner, and maybe close family members and a photographer, and have your other guests join for the party! The wedding should be about the couple, after all.
Polaroid Scrapbook
There are lots of fun ways to make your guest book unique. One terrific option is to incorporate polaroid photos. Place polaroid cameras around your venue so guests can snap fun images to be added to your guest book.
These are just a few fun ideas to help you an extra special touch to your already special day. Are you looking for a venue?
