Create an image with rose petals! Don't forget to tell the ushers to seat guests from the outer aisle. It may help to drape a ribbon at the start of the aisle so guests know not to walk down it.image via The Knot

Candelabras are great for adding character and texture to your aisle. Look at our selection at http://detailseventrental.com/.


Adding a patterned aisle runner will definitely make your entry pop!

Extreme Weddings

We've all been to weddings that were a bit over-the-top, but these extreme nuptials will blow your mind! These couples literally chose the road less traveled when it came to their big day. Interesting...

White water rafting? We don't think she wanted to keep the dress.


Brrr! This couple said, "I do!" on a glacier. Let's hope their love was enough to keep them warm.


These snow bunnies also took to the slopes to profess their love! (image via Blue Ridge Weddings)


Getting married is a rush! We're sure this bride and groom received a little head rush themselves as they took the plunge.



This couple really took a leap of faith!


According to these adventure couples, "everything's better down where it's wetter!"




We mentioned this high-flying wedding style recently, but we still can't get over these couples getting married in a hot air balloon.


Bombs away! This couple ran at their marriage head first... with guns!


Getting married in a cemetery seems a bit gloomy, but whatever makes this couple happy! We don't know whether they played "Here Comes the Bride" or "The Funeral March."


Love really can move mountains. Maybe this is what inspired this couple to get married on one?


This couple enjoys living on the edge... of an airplane wing!

We think the helicopter wedding seems a little less dangerous.



Speaking of danger... a jungle-themed wedding is fun and playful. A wedding on the African Safari is extreme!

"What should I do to the ceiling at my wedding?"

In my days working at a wedding venue, a lot of brides had trouble deciding what to do with the ceiling. I hope this post will take your wedding wow factor from floor to ceiling.

Instead of trying to decorate the whole ceiling, just focus on a smaller area like over the dance floor, entry way or guest tables.

These Christmas balls make a big impact when draped above banquet tables. Use thread instead of fishing wire to hang the balls. Fishing line is too light for the balls and tends to curl up since it’s been wrapped in a spool. Depending on the ceiling, you may need to hang a grid to tie your ornaments to. We rent ceiling hooks for $0.50each. These hooks attach to grid ceilings and hold up to 15 pounds. Use chain from your local hardware store to hang the grid.


We hung these pink chandeliers in between each guest table. The chandelier tiers were made from different sized wire wreath frames. We used floral wire to attach artificial flowers to the rings. On the day of the wedding, we hung fresh flowers from ribbon to add dimension and height. Because the chandeliers were hung overhead, guests will assume all of the flowers are real.

We also draped the ceiling with some fabric we found at a store in Dallas. We hung rods from the ceiling and sewed a pocket in the edge of the fabric. We spray painted a garage-sale chandelier black plugged the chandelier into the ceiling. We draped Christmas lights between the panels of fabric to create a starry atmosphere over the dance floor.

Draping a ceiling with fabric can make an over-sized room seem cozier and less overwhelming.

Martha Stewart made tissue paper pom-poms super popular! They are easy to make and can be used everywhere. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make them.

Paper Lanterns are always fun! Details Event & Party Rental rents all sizes and colors of lanterns for cheaper than you can buy them. Most of our customers don’t actually put a light in the lanterns.

Love at first sight!

Traditionally, it is bad luck to see your special someone during the moments before your aisle strut. Today, though, many couples are opting out of the traditional and trying out a new wedding trend; the first look picture! Photographers have started snapping man and wife in their last minute as Mr. and Miss.

What your shoe says about you

Every Cinderella deserves her perfect glass slipper! Even though they may be hidden under your dress, your footwear is still an expression of who you are. Whether you march to the beat of your own drum or walk down the more common path, here's what your wedding day shoes may say about you.

BAREFOOT:
You're a free spirit that doesn't mind digging in and getting a little sand between her toes. You are a natural beauty ready to celebrate her love. What do you think about this foot jewelry?

BOOTS:
You are ready for a boot-scootin' good time! From two-steppin' to the last waltz with your daddy, you just want to be yourself and dance the night away with friends and family.

Unconventional Bouquets

Weddings with a special twist never lack personality. These bouquets have enough personality for two bunches! You will surely be the center of attention with these flower alternatives.

We love these brooch bouquets from The Knot and Renee Kelly. Not only are they unique, but they are still beautiful. You can also work in several generations of brooches to add a family touch.
