There is no wrong or right way when it comes to choosing the activities that will become a part of your celebration.

Here is a list to help you start thinking about which ones will work for you, and which you would prefer not to do:

  • Grand Entrance
  • Formal Toast
  • First Dance
  • Father/Daughter & Mother/Son Dance
  • Cake Cutting
  • Bouquet Toss
  • Garter Toss
  • Video Montage
  • Cocktail Hour

Remember, just because something may be “traditional” or even expected, it’s your special day to create your very own memories. Let our professional Wedding Coordinators at The Castle help you design the wedding of your dreams!

  • Pack whatever you really need in your carry-on bag so if the airline loses your luggage you can still start your honeymoon off right – Try starting with a cute bikini and some makeup!
  • Who says you need to go on a beach vacation – just because everyone else is doing it, doesn’t mean you have to. Try a romantic cruise for two to Alaska.
  • Definitely bring more than just flip-flops – take the time to dress up and visit a fancy restaurant as husband and wife!
  • A honeymoon doesn’t have to directly follow the wedding – and more than ever they aren’t. Don’t be ashamed to wait until it fits into your schedules and your budget, it certainly won’t make it any less special!

For more great tips, keep an eye on The Castle blog, or visit our partner at theknot.com.

Try mixing it up at your wedding with a little hue trick!

Instead of having each table consist of the same size and color centerpiece, opt for a big centerpiece with two complimenting colors on one table and a smaller centerpiece with 3 corresponding colors on the next table. Colors don’t have to be scary, and the subtle differences on each table will bring vibrance to your special event no matter the budget!

Our on-site florist at The Castle is full of wonderful tricks to turn your wedding into a spectacular event. Don’t let a boring centerpiece be the center of your wedding!

Think outside the box by mixing different colors, sizes, and textures for your centerpieces.
