Lounging Around

The wedding lounge area; where couture meets comfort.

This is one of the hottest ideas and concepts happening in weddings at the moment.  Your guest lounge can extend your design ideas into a glamorous, while very hospitable, reception area.

Tips for a successful wedding lounge:

1. Put your guests first.  Make it a place they’ll want to spend time and that promotes mingling.

2.  Lighting!  Use a lighting designer to add the perfect character, tone, and mood.

3.  Separate it just enough from the main area to make it distinctive, but close enough for good service.

I really dig the GIANT yellow and black houndstooth ottoman in that last shot! I never would have thought those patterns could pull together as well as they do.

I always buy that magazine & ALWAYS die over those amazing lounge areas. I’d die to photograph a wedding with all those details & lighting! AHH…gorgeous!!!
