Looking to completely transform a drab, ordinary room? The easiest way is by using creative lighting. One unit can flood a wall or fill a space with beautiful colour. The flames of candles can add romanticism to a dining hall. A string of tiny white lights makes everyone feel nostalgic.

a table for the sweethearts

My husband and I didn’t have a sweetheart table at our wedding. Instead (and to make my life easier with the seating arrangements) we left 1-2 spots open at most of the guests tables and, since we had a buffet meal, the two of us took turns moving around the room and sitting with different sets of family and friends. But I have attended a lot of weddings where they have had beautiful sweetheart tables set up for the bride and groom, and it made me wonder what other creative ideas were out there for these special settings.

There’s no denying that flowergirls give weddings that “aww” factor. The frilly dresses, the flower petals, those cute little-girl smiles – is there anything cuter?!

I have no idea why but I completely forgot about this part of my wedding when I got married last October – I had even saved a template to make little paper holders and was going to ask the florist for extra petals for my guests to throw as we left the chapel (silly bride-brain)! So if I had it to do all over again, I would totally incorporate this into my day. It makes for beautiful pictures, and what’s more fun for the couple as well as the guests than showering them in prettiness?

What was once an interactive hands-on addition at carnivals and fairs is now becoming a common feature at weddings – photo booths. It was one of the first things I asked my photographers about when planning my reception. We went for a simple black and white backdrop (as well as b&w pics), and guests loved goofing around and snapping photos of themselves – in fact, very few of the 120 people at our wedding didn’t use it. By the end of the night, guests were writing funny messages on the backs of their place cards and holding them up in the pictures, or they posed with items from the table, including apples from our centrepieces and wine bottles.
