Late Night Snacks

You may think that after dinner and dessert, your guests are done eating for the night. Well think again, because after hours of dancing your guests are sure to feel a little hungry! This is where late night snacks would be perfect–they are small and easy for guests to grab and quickly get back to the dance floor.

For a savory snack, some of our favorites are mini sliders, french fries, or chicken and waffle bites. On the other hand, if you have a sweet tooth, a donut bar or mini churros are a great idea! Late night snacks will be the perfect send off and surprise for your guests after a wonderful evening.

Here are some more late night snack ideas for your wedding!

Dresses

In 2024, short dresses are making an appearance, and not only during the reception! If you’re thinking about making a dress change after the ceremony, maybe choose a convertible dress so you get the best of both worlds. Two piece outfits and suits are also trending, as well as the color black, statement bows, mismatched bridesmaid dresses, and fun textures! Brides should feel like themselves on their wedding day, and bridal fashion is continuing to expand their options.

Bold Colors

Pastel and muted color palettes have been popular in the past, but bright and bold colors are going to be a hit in 2024! Expect to see vibrant bouquets, colorful and maximalist decor, and wedding guest attire with colorful accents.

Sustainability

Today, we are much more mindful of sustainability throughout all aspects of our lives, and you may be wondering what sustainability at a wedding looks like. Ways your wedding could practice sustainability are through having to go containers for guests after dinner, working with local vendors, guest invitations, and being mindful of how you choose your decor. Even small changes can make your wedding more eco-friendly!

Weekend Weddings

We all know about destination weddings, but in 2024 we’re taking it one step further with weekend weddings! For weddings where guests might be traveling, couples are going for weekend, or even week-long, wedding celebrations. This also makes for the most time with your loved ones!
