Wedding Entertainment for Kids

Having children at your wedding? You may be worried that the kids will get bored, restless, or hyper, which may lead to unwanted disruptions on your big day. Well, the best way to keep the kiddies out of trouble is to keep them entertained. If you're expecting a group of children that are close in age, you could have a kids play area at the reception with children's books, Legos, etc. Hire a babysitter to oversee the area and play with the kids. If that's not in your budget or the children…See More

Unique Chuppahs

But "chuppah" literally means canopy and can be a beautiful focal point for any type of wedding ceremony. Creating a chuppah simply requires four poles and a cloth covering on top. But, today, chuppahs are often elaborately decorated to provide the primary decor for the ceremony. I came across these gorgeous, unique chuppahs that are great inspiration for designing a canopy for your…See More

The teardown of the room after the reception happens very quickly. The venue staff want to be on their way home, so if you haven't specified your plan for the centerpieces and decor ahead of…See More

The How-To Guide to Aisle Runners

Q: Do I need to get an aisle runner for my wedding ceremony? Where would I get one from? What's the procedure for them?

A: Aisle runners are entirely optional. In the olden days of unpaved roads, guests often tracked in dirt and mud from the streets. Aisle runners were used to protect the bride's gown from the tracked in mud. But today, this is no longer an issue. If your wedding is indoors, there is usually no need for an aisle runner…
