An elegant tented wedding was what Mary and Kevin envisioned for their wedding day, and that is exactly what they had! Taking place at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra, Florida, their Fall wedding day was full of beauty and fun- including a cigar roller, flip cup, and pizza complete with a ranch dressing fountain! And we of course can’t forget about Mary’s stunning gown- a sleek silhouette with two skirts (how fun is that?!) and a dramatic low-back. We can’t wait for you to see how beautifully ELD favorite Brooke Images captured it all!

From First Coast Weddings:

TPC Sawgrass is known as one of the top wedding venues in North Florida, but hosting a wedding reception in a tent outside the clubhouse is unique! Mary and Kevin’s vision of a tented wedding came to life with classically elegant elements like white table linens and a black and white dance floor. Then they added fun touches, like a photo booth, a cigar roller, and a tiered pizza display with a ranch dressing dipping fountain! One of the most unique aspects of their wedding was Mary’s wedding gown. The sleek silhouette was stunning, but a separate ball gown skirt could be added or removed easily, creating two very different looks. Mary removed the skirt for her first look with Kevin, but then added the skirt before the ceremony, so he got to see her in a completely different way walking down the aisle. Mary and Kevin danced the night away surrounded by the love of their family and friends.

If you’ve ever hosted a dinner party before, chances are probably pretty good you’ve Googled it… how to set a table. (I know I have!) Believe it or not, I have seen a good handful of tables at weddings that have NOT been set correctly, but lucky for us, Becca + Jessie of Modern Vintage Events are giving us the expert rundown today!

How To Set A Table


 

Knowing how to set a table can be confusing if you haven’t brushed up on your etiquette lately.  Where does all that glassware go? What about the flatware?  Don’t worry, setting a table at your wedding isn’t as complicated as you would think.

Some of the things you might need to set your tables are:

  • Dinner Knife
  • Spoon
  • Salad + Dinner Fork
  • Dessert Fork
  • Bread and Butter Plate and Knife
  • Water Glass
  • Wine Glass (you may choose red, white or universal)
  • Champagne Flute
  • Salad Plate + Dinner Plate
  • Charger

Styling 101: How to Set a Table via TheELD.com

There are variations depending on just how formal your table is set. For a typical wedding you may choose to use only a salad and dinner fork and dinner knife for flatware. Traditionally, the dessert fork is not set on the table if the cake is not being served to the tables.

Adding a water glass with preset water to your table is a nice touch for your guests so that they have something to drink upon sitting down. (Especially if they are in the heat!) If you are planning to serve wine or champagne at the tables you will need to set those glasses on the table as well. If not, this glassware can just be at the bar.

Helpful Table Setting Hints

  • The spoon and the knife go to the right of the plate with the knife facing into the plate. (A way to remember this is that spoon and knife have five letters and so does right.)
  • The forks go on the left. (You can remember this because fork and left both have four letters!)
  • The dessert fork or spoon goes above the plate. If you have both, the spoon faces the bread and butter plate and the fork faces the glassware.
  • The water glass goes right above the knife. Taller glasses go behind the shorter ones.

Do you Need all of That Stuff on Your Table?

Some tables are more complicated than others. This largely depends on how formal or complicated your meal is. If you are serving barbecue you may not want to spring for the most formal place setting but if you have a three course seated dinner you will want to make sure you have the proper flatware and glassware for each course.  Lean on your wedding planner, caterer and rental company to help you determine what you need.

Don’t stress too much about your table and set it to match the formality of your wedding.  A properly set table is pretty with or without all the bells and whistles and your grandmother will be impressed!

The Swan House in Georgia is the epitome of vintage elegance and these red wedding ideas captured by Gracious Photography are nothing short of magical. We love the bright pops of red that make this color palette lovely for any season. Designed by Heather Benge Events, the ceremony is a dream with the venue’s epic stone staircase and sweet vintage pews. The reception features an oversized floral centerpiece by Thorne & Thistle and bright red apples. Every great event needs a sweet end and the icing painted floral cake by Sweet Details is sure to make you fall in love! We can’t wait for you to see it all!

From Gracious Company:

This styled shoot at The Swan House left no detail undone! The Swan House, where President’s Snow’s house was filmed for the Hunger Games, speaks for itself. It is striking and regal all on its own. And then when Heather Benge and Styled Shoots Across America comes to town, it somehow becomes even more stunning. A simple, neutral, white & green color palette really makes the red accent color pop. The vintage cars and white pews next to modern wardrobes and adorable fur baby Sadie blend the old with the new and the romantic with the playful seamlessly.

All of us on Team ELD love sharing wedding day details and couples just as much as we enjoy celebrating a wedding in person with one of our own personal favorite couples. There are few things better than a night spent sipping cocktails, dining with family, and dancing with new and old friends in honor of a couple embarking on a new journey together. Plus, a wedding means we get to choose a wedding gift! And, if you know us well, you know gifting is our love language.

Between talking with friends and receiving messages from couples daily, the fact that we love to gift has caught on. So, it’s not a surprise that both groups frequently ask us the same questions:

We have everything we need. Do we need a wedding registry?

I don’t love the gifts on the registry. Can I give something that isn’t listed?

And, our favorite question:

What’s the best way to gift an experience?  

 Today, we’re going to answer all three. Enter: Tinggly!

Give the Wedding Gift of Experience with Tinggly via TheELD.com

We love getting to be guests at weddings because they offer us an opportunity to have an experience to remember for days, months, and years to come. And, Tinggly offers the same thing! Through the gift of Tinggly, couples can continue to enjoy experiences together through travel long after their wedding day has come to a close.

Tinggly has curated a complete roster of hundreds of vetted unique experiences in over 100 countries throughout the world. Brides and grooms can opt to enjoy cooking classes, food and wine tours, scenic cruises, kayaking and paddle boarding, snorkeling, cultural tours, and much more.

Because Tinggly is not a honeymoon registry, the couple does not need to register on the site and create a selection of tours they would like to go on. Instead, the person gifting Tinggly simply chooses a gift boxHappily Ever After, Just Married, and Dream Wedding are three boxes created with weddings in mind – with an assigned value of $119, $229, or $289, and wraps it, just like they would with any other gift. (If a guest can’t attend the wedding in person, they can also send Tinggly virtually because vouchers can arrive in a couple’s inbox via email.) When the couple opens their gift, they will find a booklet about Tinggly inside, as well as a prepaid voucher they can use to pay for their experience for two.

The best part is the couple gets to choose their own experience wherever their travels may take them. So, they can opt to use it on their honeymoon or even save it for a future trip. Tinggly gifts don’t expire for five years, so a couple could opt to use their gift to celebrate an anniversary or “just because” trip in the future!

Tinggly’s motto is “give stories, not stuff”, which we think is the best reason ever to go off registry.  Encouraging a couple whom you adore to continue writing their story together is all the reason you will ever need to give them the gift of travel, time, and experiences together.

What do you hope your favorite couple will do together through Tinggly?

P.S.: Tinggly also has a host of experience boxes perfect for specific activities (helicopter tours, bungee jumping, etc) and specific cities, like New York City, and they are perfect for birthdays, girls trips, traveling with the guys, family vacations, or even treating yourself! Tinggly is not just for weddings… YAY! Get out there, y’all!
