Cut colourful card stocks into beautiful shapes for place settings. You can have them laser cut round the edges with words written in glitters. Give them an intricate and polished look with fashionable ribbons for casual weddings

If you want to create a soothing and romantic ambience, try out the simple paper or solar-powered lanterns. They’re easy to create and budget-friendly if you’d rather buy. Put them at the tables, on posts, and in the lounge.

9. Creative guest book

Instead of a traditional guestbook, make it more fun by having guests sign off on a loved-up portrait. You can also have them sign off on mini wine bottles which will serve as wedding favours to them. This will keep the guests invested while having thorough fun.

10. Family style ambience

If the wedding is casual, set it in family style with Mylar, banners, and string lights. This is especially great for outdoor and backyard weddings. Write beautiful information on colourful banners and let the string lights shine around them. Excitement will be the order of the day.
