Trend Alert! Add a Lounge for a Relaxing Reception

The fun trend of reception lounges popped up in 2012 and is now making big appearances in 2013! I have to admit, I am in love love love with this trend. Adding a little reception lounge a few steps from the dance floor gives guests the ability to kick up their feet, relax, and mingle. It doesn’t matter if your reception is indoors or outdoors, modern or eclectic, day or night- a reception lounge gives your reception a little something extra that I promise your guests will be oohing and ahing over! Make the lounge swanky and cool by adding candles, curtains, and little personal touches. Hey, you could even turn the lounge into a cigar bar, wine tasting, or a little bites stop! Put a posh touch on your reception by adding the  ever so chic reception lounge!

SATC Inspired Long Reception Tables

Ever since I saw the rehearsal dinner scene in the first Sex and the City movie, I have been head-over-heels in love with the idea of a long table wedding reception! Instead of the traditional round table, try a long, rectangular table. They give the event a modern, contemporary twist. Chandeliers, florals, and candles compliment long, rectangular tables very nicely. The intimacy, togetherness, and elegance of a long table reception is second to none. It allows for all guests to be together and be included. Long table receptions work with any wedding theme and colorway. From rustic weddings to modern weddings to destination weddings, long tables create a unique, modern foundation to the decor that I’m sure will have your wedding guests gasping. Just look at the difference a long table makes…

Create Your Perfect Event with a Tent

What is more gorgeous than a Texas sunset? Couples who plan an outdoor spring or summer wedding in Texas often are spoiled by the beautiful backdrop of oranges, pinks, and purples of the Texas sky. Finding an outdoor venue in Texas is easy, but finding a tent that compliments the space sometimes proves to be a bit of a challenge. Some of the most amazing wedding tents can be found at these DFW vendors: Big D Party Rental, Live Wire Special Events, and  M&M Special Events Company. Each of these companies carries multiple tent sizes, catering to any wedding size. Not completely sold on the idea of a tent wedding just yet? Here’s some inspiration….

This is one of my favorite ideas for a tent wedding. They used an old parachute!! How creative! It gives the traditional idea of a tent a fresh, fun twist…not to mention how ELEGANT it makes the space look! I adore this look.

This couple created a romantic, warm, elegant reception area by adding florals, chandeliers, colored lighting, and colored linens. Chandeliers hanging from the tent have become more and more popular. I have to say, it is one of my favorite trends! Chandeliers remind me of jewelry, and no outfit is complete without jewelry… just like no space is complete without a chandelier. It adds a feminine finishing touch to the space!

These two tent creations show how versatile a tent can be! On the left side, the couple chose a clear tent which allowed for the greenery and sunlight to shine through. On the right side, the couple opted for a cozier, more intimate setting by choosing darker colors and choosing to enclose their tent with walls. Both of these couples chose to drape fabrics on the ceilings. This is a perfect way to add pops of color and create a more finished look.

Here are some more tent weddings that are to DIE for!

I believe that every outdoor wedding needs a tent. Texas weather is unpredictable, so it is nice to have a tent large enough to hold the ceremony or reception if Mother Nature gives you an unexpected wedding gift. Plus, a tent gives you a BLANK canvas! As a couple, you had complete control over the decor and theme of the tent because here are no limits when it comes to decorating a tent.
