2021 Wedding Inspiration

SMALL TOASTS

Weddings are more intimate in the wake of COVID and with that has come the rise of the “tiny toast” - where loved ones are asked to share a special memory of the couple rather than give a lofty speech.

BRUNCH WEDDINGS

As weddings move outdoors they also move up during the day. Couples are opting to take advantage of the daylight and sun-kissed exposure of a brunch or garden wedding.

WELCOME BOXES

Welcome your guest in a big way. Provide a small welcome box with hand sanitizer, masks, tissues, programs, favors, and other small necessities to help your guests feel cared for on your big day.

BISTRO-STYLE ENTERTAINMENT

Rather than have a big band or DJ spin the beats at your reception, opt for a relaxed-but-formal cafe-style entertainment environment with an acoustic band or a coffee hour.

MINI D’OEUVRES/CAKES

Small plates are making a big splash at weddings. Individualized portions and single-serve charcuterie boards make dining during a celebration easy and fun. This trend doesn’t stop at dinner: Couples are getting smaller, personalized cakes for themselves and single-serve tiered cakes for guests.

MISMATCHED SEATING

Matching is out; mismatched is in. From bridesmaid dresses to flower designs and now seating arrangements, wedding coordinators are choosing unconventional designs with spectacular outcomes.

TWINKLE LIGHTS

More outdoor weddings are taking place around the world and wedding tents and twinkle lights are being put up to add ambiance to each one. Lighting technicians and skilled wedding planners can help take your lighting to the next level.

HUMOR

As we all navigate this wild new world, what can we do but laugh. Change-thedates and unsave-the-dates are on the rise as couples reschedule weddings with humor and levity.
