Non-WEDDING Weddings

Couples want to celebrate their love with their family and friends but not to stick to all the stuffy traditions. This embraces smaller bridal parties, intimate ceremonies, and an overall LESS structured day. Couples aspire to commemorate their love by sharing the joy with their family and friends, steering away from rigid traditions.

They are drawn towards cultivating more intimate moments, opting for smaller bridal parties, and favoring a wedding day that is characterized by a reduced emphasis on structured formalities. We're on a mission to redefine the celebration game, swapping out rigid traditions for a more liberated and whimsical approach. Let's bid farewell to the unnecessary fuss and welcome in the era of spontaneity and genuine joy. It's not just about the big day; it's about every little moment, each one bursting with the authenticity of love.


So, grab your dancing shoes, throw away the rulebook, and let's create a celebration that's uniquely 'you.' Because who needs stuffy when you can have fun, laughter, and a day filled with the carefree spirit of love? Here's to breaking traditions and crafting a day that's as delightfully unstructured as the journey of love itself!


TO-GO Cake slices & Dessert Stations

Skip the actual table service, and pass slices to those guests who want them, and for the rest, place them in custom to-go boxes to grab on their way out. This will ensure the dance floor stays full, and anyone who has a sweet tooth may also enjoy your desserts. Forego the conventional table service approach, and instead, offer slices of the delectable desserts to guests who express interest. For those who prefer a more casual experience, provide personalized to-go boxes for them to conveniently grab on their way out. This innovative approach not only keeps the dance floor bustling with energy but also caters to the preferences of those with a sweet tooth, allowing everyone to indulge in the delightful desserts at their own pace.

DOCUMENTARY-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY

More and more couples want fewer posed portraits and more candid content. This style embraces capturing candid, un-posed moments that happen naturally throughout the day. It’s about capturing the raw emotions and pure joy that occur on your wedding day. An increasing number of couples are expressing a preference for a departure from the traditional approach of having a multitude of posed portraits, seeking instead a more authentic and spontaneous documentation of their special day. This evolving style is characterized by a focus on capturing candid moments, eschewing staged compositions in favor of genuine, un-posed instances that unfold naturally throughout the entire wedding celebration. The essence of this approach lies in its commitment to encapsulating the raw emotions and unfiltered expressions of pure joy that organically transpire on the wedding day. By prioritizing the unplanned, this style not only preserves the sincerity of the moments but also crafts a visual narrative that authentically reflects the unique and unscripted beauty inherent in the couple's journey of love and commitment.



MEANINGFUL, NONFORMAL MENUS

The menu should feel very personal and not generic just for the sake of formality. Consider including a family recipe and printing it on the menu. Let's spice up the culinary journey! Instead of settling for the same old formal and generic menu, let's infuse it with a personal touch that's as unique as the couple themselves. Imagine a dash of nostalgia as we bring in a cherished family recipe, not just to tantalize taste buds but to tell a story. Picture this flavorful anecdote elegantly printed on the menu, turning each dish into a delicious chapter of the couple's journey. It's not just about dining; it's a culinary celebration of love, laughter, and a sprinkle of family secrets!


In this gastronomic odyssey, let's go beyond the predictable and inject the warmth of family traditions. Imagine the delight of your guests as they peruse the menu, discovering not just a list of dishes but a narrative of flavors. Consider the inclusion of a treasured family recipe, a culinary heirloom, delicately printed on the menu. It's not merely a plate of food; it's a story on a platter, a nod to the past, a celebration of heritage, and a tantalizing taste of the couple's unique journey.


So, let's break away from the culinary norm and curate a menu that's not just a feast for the palate but a reflection of the couple's distinct identity, where every bite is infused with the love and history that brought everyone together for this joyous celebration.

SUSTAINABILITY

People are much more mindful of sustainability all around. That means: What are we giving away? Can the trinket be a little less filled with plastic? Also being extremely mindful about how the decor impacts the environment. In this era of heightened eco-consciousness, sustainability is the name of the game. We're not just giving away trinkets; we're curating keepsakes that are practically besties with the planet – minimal plastic, maximum charm! It's not just about decorations; it's a mindful dance with Mother Earth. Every centerpiece, every flourish, whispers a commitment to treading lightly on this beautiful blue orb.


So, let's swap plastic-laden for planet-friendly and make our celebration not just a feast for the eyes but a nod to sustainability, proving that style and eco-consciousness go hand in hand! Picture this: a shift from disposable to durable, from single-use plastics to eco-friendly materials, turning each trinket into a miniature ambassador for sustainability.
