Late Night Snack Ideas

A wedding trend that we all know and love is late night snacks. Not only will you and your significant other appreciate it, but your guests will to. Late night snacks can be something fun like donuts or ice cream, or something more personal like your favorite candies! Better yet, it can be all of the above! Late night snacks do not always have to be sweet either, your guests will love something savory to enjoy after the cake is served! A few savory late night snacks could be pretzels, pizza, or popcorn! We also love when the couple brings in a coffee truck after cake service, it keeps the guests going all night long! Also, check with your catering team, they might have some yummy snack ideas up their sleeves too! Sweet Late Night Snacks! Savory Late Night Snacks Beverage Stations   Some of our favorite late night snack vendors are... AMI Coconuts Myxtini Kombi Keg Sospiri The Gelato Carte Modern Girl Party Co. Chocolate Fountain Productions Five-0 Donut Co. Storii Coffee Mobile Coffee Cart Rise & Nye’s Trike

Wedding Trend: QR codes & Hashtags! ###

A new wedding trend that we love is QR codes and hashtags! This is such a good idea to help engage all of your guests into the big day, from creating a QR code to create an easier way for your guests to RSVP, or viewing the program for the ceremony, or a QR code that brings your guests to a link to upload any photos they have captured from your big day. QR codes are a fun and recent trend to keep up with the times and actually give your guests a reason to be on their cell phones. Best yet, Swanky is more than happy to help you create, print, and tell your guests all about it! Another great way to keep your guests engaged and get in time photo updates of the big day are hashtags. With a social media hashtag, your guests can posts any photos they have taken throughout the night and once the newlyweds get back to their room, they will have plenty of photos to see!

Hallie and Jakes DISCO WEDDING!

From Hallie and Jakes ceremony to last dance, their wedding held disco fever! We absolutely love this genuine couple, they both were so sweet and their love for each other showed tremendously throughout the planning process. Hallie, having a full time job as the owner of No Blues News, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to sharing good news all around. Hallie and her nonprofit are located in the Sarasota area. Being familiar to the area, Hallie and Jake wanted to stay local and find a venue to transpire their vibrant personalities. And that is where Selby Gardens was a PERFECT venue for these two! With the natural color and comfort of the venue itself, Hallie and Jake didn't think twice when it came to booking Selby as their venue. Another vendor favorite this couple book was the one and only Alisa Sue Photography! Alisa Sue is one of our favorite photographers to work with on the big day. Her personality, spunkiness, and smile fills and room. And she knows exactly how to bust couples out of their shell and get the best photos. Getting back to Hallie and Jakes Disco Extravaganza, we absolutely loved the fun details they had throughout their big day. From disco ball cups at their cocktail hour, for their guests to pour their drinks in. To, neon colored baby's breath and disco balls that hung above their dance floor, their guests danced the night away. Planning with Hallie and Jake was absolutely a blast! We loved planning their colorful and unique day with them! Congratulations, Hallie and Jake!
