After creating an authentic and true ceremony, why would you want to go and pretend to be the Duke and Duchess of Whatsis at a ball? Unless, of course, you are the Duke and Duchess of Whasis – and if so, please forgive my gaffe.
We’re all for celebration, but if you make it authentic and make it completely about what is real and warm and honest in your lives – now, that’s a New American Wedding Reception that no one else would have staged in exactly the same way. And almost worth celebrating in itself!
We uncovered trends – like comfort food and cupcakes, country bands and bandanas, sunflowers and outdoor parties. But we want to hear your stories. What have you observed? What do you wish you’d see, or eat or listen to—but haven’t? What’s the next trend? We think the idea of “entertaining” is really central to a great reception. Think through what will make your guests feel comfortable, delighted, amused – entertained – by a brand that is yours alone. Do you agree?
And most of all - how have couples you know (or, perhaps – you) reflected very unique style in the way a celebration was planned and executed?
