All the guests can applaud when the bride and groom arrive and the flares are lit there. This looks great in photos. It’s an amazing detail for the first greeting.

2. Wedding party: the welcome cocktail

The bride and groom go to the head table. The guests who could not congratulate the bride and groom leaving the church, come to greet them.

If the celebrations are held in a house, rose petals can be distributed so that the bride and groom are thrown upon entering. It is a detail that is beautiful and can be accompanied with music.

Family members and guests are mobilized to the place of the celebration with a drink. It is recommended that at least two people attend with the guest list.

With the table number that is indicated to each of the guests, they approach their place to sit.

There are many grooms who choose the modality of wearing living rooms. It is a variant so as not to make the celebration so formal. During the night you can change company throughout the party. If the celebration is held at home, the choice is much freer.

Adding a printed menu to the table is suggested if multiple courses of food are to be served. The dance of the brand new spouses can be done after the first course when the guests are seated and accommodated and waiting for the main course.

Trends in wedding food:

At many weddings we see a big change in food. Instead of focusing on big dishes at a Gala, food is served more comfortable and easy to transport. A kitchen is no longer required at the event venue. Several times two options of dishes are served depending on whether the party is in:

  • Party room
  • Fresh air
  • Restaurant
  • At home

Include food stations, snacks, and gluten-free food. Young people prefer vegetarian food and trendy dishes like sushi.

What kind of food to serve?

Rich and healthy meals, finger food easy to prepare and with fewer calories. With beauty as a priority of view and setting more than quantity. Balanced and inexpensive dishes.

3. Dinner as part of the wedding party program

The wedding party should be an unforgettable night for you and for all your guests. Organize the wedding party with a program so that the wedding celebration is a real pleasure.

Prepare various surprises and animations to lift the spirits of everyone, young and old. A good tip is to do something interactive. May everything that happens on that night be special.
