Wedding Tip Wednesdays: Reception table design

Take table shape & layout into consideration when deciding what mood, vibe and overall ambiance you’re going for. Circle tables promote family feels and grouped intimacy. Caterpillar tables create harmony with a touch of whimsy. Long rows of connected tables create an atmosphere of social interaction.

This wedding theme was based around this couples’ two favorite things: reading books and their beloved pups! From book centerpieces, bookmark favors and a custom built book wall, to dog napkins, doggy bag milk bones and exact replicas of their pups as cake toppers, this couple went all out on customizing their wedding with so many personalized details and we loved every single one of them! 📚🐶💗

Wedding Tip Wednesdays: Practice tying your tie / bowtie

Practice (before the big day) tying your tie or bowtie. Try a few times, ask a parent to help teach you, watch a video tutorial, anything to learn in advance so you're not fiddling around in the getting ready suite. This goes for your groomsmen too!
