Weddings are an exciting affair, not just for the bride and groom but for their family and friends as well. A wedding is the beginning of a new chapter, and the desire is always for a happily ever after, so it’s understandable to take extra caution by adding a few fun lucky charms to the wedding day rituals.

Carry a Family Heirloom

Family heirlooms are precious mementos to carry, particularly on this special day. Whatever it is, either a piece of jewelry or scrap from an ancestor’s veil, the item will build confidence and add a little magic to the big day. Bringing an heirloom down the aisle will make it feel like someone special is also attending the ceremony.

Warming the Ring

This unique tradition works well for more intimate ceremonies that have a smaller guest list. Before the nuptials, the couple can leave their wedding bands on a decorated table or have an usher pass them around to the guests and ask them to make a wish or send a positive affirmation for the couple.

Bring a Bell

In mythology, bells are associated with warding off evil, and ringing a bell at a wedding holds the same symbolism. Bells make a precious addition to the décor, and they can even be incorporated in some of the table settings. One bell is enough, but if having them at every table guarantees good luck, it’s worth it for such a special occasion.

Reception Venue Lighting

The idea of bright lighting at the wedding reception is tied to the belief that it reflects a bright future for the new couple. Ensure that the reception venue is well lit, and there are no clocks in the room, and it will signify the timelessness of the union.

A wedding is a promise of eternity, and planning one requires someone who understands the importance of this day for the couple.

Preparing for an upcoming wedding is an exciting time for not only the soon-to-be bride and groom but also their families. Two families are about to be joining together, and everyone involved (especially the couple!) wants the reception to be an unforgettable event. From selecting the caterer and florist to choosing the perfect linens for the table settings, there can be a lot to do. That’s why relying on an event rental company can help make the preparation go smoothly. Here’s how A-Abco Rents and Sells, Inc. can help by guiding couples through all of the different linen options available to them and then help bring their vision to life.

Consider the Venue 

The most important thing when selecting wedding linens is not how they look in the showroom but how they’ll look in the venue. If the reception is being held inside where the light is low, heavier or glittery linens can provide some needed sparkle. If there is plenty of lighting or the venue is outdoors, white or ivory linens work best, especially those with airy patterns that don’t add visual weight.

Work With the Color Scheme 

Chances are that by the time the wedding planners get around to selecting linens, they’ve already developed a color palette for the event. The color scheme will likely be reflected in the bridesmaid’s gowns, the groom’s tie, and the flower arrangements. Tablecloths could either be neutral or reflect the main color of the color scheme, while the napkins, placemats, and table runners could echo the accent colors of the flower arrangements or the wedding party’s outfits.

Patterns and Texture 

The texture of the table linens should work with the serving pieces and flatware. If the wedding meal is being served on smooth-finish porcelain with crystal stemware, for example, table linens should be similarly smooth and formal. For a wedding with a more informal meal, coarser fabrics may be more appropriate. Minimal patterns work well with refined, understated looks, while colored patterns and textures pair with a high-energy aesthetic.
