Beautiful Evening Weddings

There is no doubt how beautiful and romantic outside receptions are at night because of the lighting and atmosphere it creates so how about an evening ceremony? It definitely is not traditional and not all venues would cater for it but just imagine how stunningly different your wedding photographs would be. Of course with an evening ceremony you would also have to consider if you would do any day time pictures and you would have to ensure you have the right photographer to work with that kind of lighting. Depending on the time of the ceremony you could also offer your guests snacks before just to keep their tummies happy until the main course or you could opt for something completely different and have a cocktail themed reception.

 

Long Reception Tables

There is suddenly a change happening within the wedding industry as more brides and grooms are opting for long rectangular tables at their reception. By making use of long reception tables, as opposed to round ones, you save a great deal of space and the setting between the guests feels a lot more intimate. Long reception tables also place more of an emphasis on the sweet heart table which can be placed in the middle or at the head of the reception room. Decor will also have a more continuous feel and you will save money because you can avoid buying tons of flower arrangements for many individual tables.

Mini Food

Mini food served at weddings is the latest craze. You can either serve them as canapes before the reception or even during the reception- it's up to you. The most popular mini foods are comfort foods such as fries, cake pops, cupcakes, grilled cheese samis, hotdogs and soup shooters but remember you can make it your own by serving a family favourite or the food you ate on your first date. Mini food looks great and classy in photographs and is affordable if you find the right catering company. It is also creative, fun, easy to eat and adds a lot of colour to your food.

 

 

 

Wedding Reception Canopies and Tents

Having you reception in tent with beautiful drapery can be utterly romantic and makes for beautiful photographs. You do have to keep in mind though that it can be incredibly costly to hire a tent, chairs, tables etc and it is expensive to have an area professionally draped so you should research all your options before hand- especially if you have a large guest list.

 

 

 

 

Candles

Candles at weddings are absolutely stunning. They create an atmosphere of romance and are far more cost effective then the different light effects that are now offered to brides and grooms. Candles also look beautiful in photographs.
