Thinking small doesn’t mean your day is. Thinking small means you can do more, celebrate in a unique way, and spend more time with the people around you. Check out our guide to hosting your own Micro Wedding here.(link)
Many brides and grooms send bridesmaid gift kits and groomsmen gift boxes to honor members of their wedding party as a special part of their wedding day. Some couples are turning to making “Welcome Box” gift kits for their guests, too! You could turn this into a fun activity for your wedding party to assemble and hand out to each guest when they arrive for the event. Use a box or bag and pack them with personalized wedding favors such as Casa Romantica’s popular tile coasters to remind them of the venue’s iconic tile patterns, a face mask that matches your wedding colors, mints, local handmade soap, and a handwritten thank-you note.
Bite-sized appetizers create less mess and keep your guests happy while you’re off capturing the moment. Think about scaling down a popular food like tacos, grilled cheese with a touch of tomato bisque, or stuffed mushrooms.
During your ceremony, try a variety of different chairs, benches and couches. Guests will be surprised and excited to choose their spot and get comfortable during your vows. Talk to our exclusive vendors to see what options are available to you.
Hiring musicians has become increasingly popular during weddings and having small acoustic bands play is such a nice thing to add to your cocktail hour and dinner service. The soft sounds of a guitar or the beautiful melody of a piano being played in Casa Romantica’s Main Salon is an elegant detail that your guests will take notice of.
Casa Romantica was once an estate owned by the city’s founder, Ole Hanson. Today, the venue provides an ambiance for you and your guests that is warm and inviting. Adding lounges, chairs, rugs, lamps, and personal touches like framed photos and things that represent your and your fiancé’s relationship will add a homey touch to your day.
Although you may see some of these trends at weddings this upcoming year, make your day uniquely you. If we’ve learned anything from 2020, it’s that we need to do what makes us happy and celebrate in ways we are comfortable with.
