Personalize your décor

Wedding décor should always feel personal and connect back to what kind of vibe and energy you want to bring to the evening. Debbie loves using seasonal wildflowers.

Provide a map of the venue

If the venue is large or the wedding and reception are taking place in two different areas, a map is a great idea! It's very helpful for the guests and makes for a beautiful table setting as well.

Have a unique guest book

For Debbie, a guest book at a wedding is a must! A traditional book will do the job, but why not think outside the box? Opt for something handmade or rent an antique phone for guests to leave messages. One of Debbie's sons provided a beautiful antique jug for their guests to leave notes in. The possibilities are endless.
