Glam Lighting

Add glitz & glam to your special day with lighting that sets the tone of the evening. Glittering chandeliers, bistro lights and uplights are an amazing way to not only make the space feel more intimate and elegant, but a way to put your individual personality into your decor!

We love these lights and monograms that make the newlyweds feel like the stars of the show!

These bistro lights at this outdoor reception are so warm and inviting. They’re perfect for dinner and dancing the night away!

Glassware & Tableware

Small details like the glasses, silverware, and dishes that cover your reception tables make a huge difference. Instead of generic glasses, opt for gold accents or crystal (looking) glasses that scream sophistication!

Table Runners & Intimate Centerpieces

Scrap tablecloths in favor of table runners for an elegant yet rustic country wedding look. Whether your tables are long or rounds, mix greenery and glassware for the perfect centerpieces. Florals are also always encouraged!

Chair Covers & Accents

An easy way to make your space feel extra fancy is to cover the chairs, or add accent pieces that make them pop. This can be done for ceremony chairs or reception chairs, though it’s more typical to cover reception chairs.

Signature Drinks

Surprise guests as they hit the bar with signature drinks that are oh-so classy. They’ll love a Manhattan or a martini that matches your wedding colors! Showcase a wall of champagne, or display your signature drink names on a cute stand that decorates the bar and voila: classy cocktails for you and all your wedding guests to enjoy.

Menus & Ceremony Programs

Have custom ceremony programs handed out to guests as they arrive at your ceremony location and take their seats. Then again, carry over the pretty paper theme into your menu for the evening and place a menu card at each table setting for a subtle but classy touch.

Cute Country Touches

Don’t forget that you’re still saying “I do!” in the country, and incorporate elements of country charm in with your elegant touches. The combination of the two creates a sophisticated yet warm and intimate feel for your special day.

Give your guests a fun & tasty activity at your reception or the after-party: making s’mores! If your venue has fire pits, this is the perfect addition to your wedding.

Create photo trees (or just hang them!) for your guests that include pictures of you two, as well as fun family pictures from growing up. Your family members will love the nostalgia!

Give guests a fun spot to take photos to commemorate your special day! There are plenty of backdrop options all over the web, but this simple snapshot frame is so cute and easy to put together!
