When it comes to wedding planning, there is undeniable excitement. From picking out the wedding attire to selecting the wedding venue, having a bridal party, throwing a bachelorette trip, and of course, hosting a rehearsal dinner.
With less than 24 hours until you and your fiancé say “I do”, there is no better time to gather your friends and family after their arrival for an intimate and celebratory dinner. It is tradition and customary that you and your wedding party practice walking down the aisle to ensure everything is flawless. Practice makes perfect. Wedding rehearsals are then followed by rehearsals dinners. It is the most quintessential way to kick off your wedding celebration.
Whether your color palettes are soft, dreamy, and neutral, or vibrant with multicolored hues, the design and theme should be eye-catching and radiate the space. In addition, whether the dinner is small and intimate or large and grand, the possibilities are endless. Lastly, if you want to have a memorable dinner party, please make sure the actual dinner is flavorful and tasty.
