HERE ARE OUR 7 Moments/SETTINGS to Focus on That Will Make Your Wedding Am Unforgettable Cherished Memory FOR YOUR GUESTS:
1. Splurge On The Ceremony Backdrop
This is what your wedding guests will be looking at for the entirety of your ceremony and it’s what will be in the photos of your first moments as spouses. Framed forever in your home. Cherished year over year.
What do you want to see when you look back at the pictures from those once-in-a-lifetime moments in your ceremony?
This is worth everything!!! Your moment can wow with the right backdrop and the perfect wedding backdrop is based on the setting, architecture, and environment you’re getting married in.
We love a floral big floral piece or the timeless doors that symbolize walking into a new chapter together (queue the happy tears).

2. Every Guest Will See Your Seating Chart
Shocking wedding planning reality - It actually saves you money because without it, guests will sit at any table and you’ll need more to accommodate the room. Just eliminate the stress on the guests!
We literally say this all the time, and we’ll never stop!
no seating chart = more tables = more $$$ 🙅♀️
Adding a seating chart can be a memorable moment, that is a cost net zero expense. We also recommend creating your chart in a way that each table is listed on it’s own sheet or section so that when there is an inevitable change last minute, you don’t have to re-do the entire thing!
3. You Need Candlelight and Votives
Without candles…where’s the romance???
These small additions to your decor plan make a big difference in how your wedding feels. Don’t risk your wedding feeling like a nicely decorated work conference—candlelight is a must IMO.

4. Your Unique Photobooths Will Be Shared, Seen, & Cherished
This trend is not only here to stay it’s growing and aging beautifully.
Think bigger than a couple of props - think wow worth floral installs, unique of a kind experiences, and making a nearly red-carpet paparazzi destination. We’re all about it!
360 photobooths are so fun for your guests and something they’ll remember.
Plexiglass layers are an amazing add!
Staged furniture elements!
Go crazy!
5. Use Higher End Linens
…it’s worth it. Just trust us on this one. 😬
We could make a case, but you could also elevate so much with a simple yes to linens.

6. Say Yes to Renting Estate-Table Decor
We loooove an estate table. It anchors the reception room and makes your bridal party feel like royalty.
Plus, it’s a great place to put your more “wow-ing” table decor if you’re looking to keep the guest tables more modest.
Design tip: Tall centerpieces add height and elevate the room. Do these in quantities of 4, 6, or 8!
7. Memorable Moment: Add a Late Night Snack Surprise!
Okay…hear us out. You’ve been dancing all night, burning calories on the dancefloor, maybe feeling the alcohol, it’s the perfect time for a late-night snack.
We’ve seen this done with pizza, tacos, or even a Waffle House food truck (aka food that really hits when you’re a little drunk).
Think anything craveable and you’ll nail it. Your guests will really appreciate it ;)
And if you’re looking to create a buzzworthy experience or cute photoshoot - this is an easy add.
So, what’s not worth it when planning your wedding and vendor shopping?
If you have the budget and want to do these things, go for it! But if you’re looking for where to cut some spending, don’t waste your money on these 4 things:
Groomsmen boutonnieres and corsages: do pocket squares instead!
Wedding favors: it’s just tradition at this point.
Really high guest count (especially kids).
Champagne toast: use beer and wine instead, that’s what people want to drink anyways!
At the end of the day, your best wedding will be the one that’s most you.
Invest where you want to have the best experience.
If that means a picnic reception, an afternoon ceremony, or a mountaintop elopement, so be it! Your wedding day should be a reflection of you and your spouse-to-be with all the little details that feel uniquely YOU.
However you plan your wedding, we know it will be an unforgettable day. Cheers to your happily ever after!
