Perfect for both comfort and connection, consider crafting lounge areas for you and your guests to mingle and kick those feet up throughout the day!

Grazing tables are a creative and stunning choice for small bites between your ceremony and reception, some light brunch wedding fare, or all your pre and post-wedding parties!

FAMILY FIRST LOOKS


We love first looks between partners, and first looks with family members are just as sweet! Invite those special people in your life into a private moment of seeing and celebrating you before the rest of your guests.
