A recent trend in wedding decor heavily involves “upcycling,” or reusing something so that it has higher value so their big day has zero-waste/ a reduced carbon footprint. This could be utilizing family heirlooms (such as a ring), locally-sourcing the food from vendors who emphasize sustainability, and/or sending out bio-degradable wedding invitations.

Many couples are looking to inject their personalities into every aspect of their wedding– including the drink menu. Signature drinks have become commonplace at receptions. Couples get together, incorporate ingredients they enjoy into a cocktail, and share their creation with their guests. They can chose to have a bartender make these drinks, or to make it in a large batch ahead of time and store in a wall-mounted dispenser for self-serving.

Lighting is one of the key ways to set the mood during a reception or ceremony, and it has become even more important in recent years. Hanging lights from the ceiling or stringing them across a table creates a magical, warm ambiance without the potential danger that comes with too many lit candles.
