 Reception
Personalize your wedding by creating sub-areas of your reception that are geared toward specific demographics. For example, since weddings are primarily feminine affairs, it’s becoming popular to include a “Man Cave” for the gentlemen. Make it an adjacent room (or area) and stock it with cigars, brandy, scotch and a flatscreen with the game on — you know, guy stuff.
If your guest list includes a lot of families, consider holding a minireception for the mini-guests. A kid-only reception can be separate from its adult counterpart and feature babysitters, pizza, movies, music and maybe even a special cake. This kind of reception can help put parents at ease, while allowing kids to have a great time in a comfortable environment — one way more fun than a grown-up party.

Remember when it was considered taboo for bridesmaids and guests to wear black at a wedding? Today, wearing black is not so uncommon and can actually add an air of elegance to an event, particularly a more formal evening wedding. While many couples choose to maintain cherished and time-honored traditions, an increasing number of couples are choosing to personalize their special day by incorporating new trends and creating their own traditions.
From decadent affairs at luxurious resorts to more understated ceremonies on the beach, today’s brides- and grooms-to-be have myriad trends from which to choose and the ability for them to create an unforgettable experience is limited only by their imagination. Monthly Wedding Site offers a look at some of the more popular trends
