I have quickly become a huge fan of Downton Abbey, although I jumped on the train much later than everyone else. That seems to be pretty typical for this Idaho girl though in almost all trends. Since my recent found love I am longing to see that complete vintage inspired wedding and am also in love with the new trend (or perhaps it's old hat to those in So. Cal) of having a lounge area at your Reception.
Having a lounge area is the perfect way to keep all of your guests entertained. You could have a game area set up nearby featuring horseshoes, croquet, etc. Guests could sip on cool drinks as they watch others play. This is also a great spot for the men to congregate. Set up a fun cigar bar, or brewing station next to this and you suddenly have an outdoor man-cave.
A lounge area is also perfect for winter weddings to help break up the space. Look at these great examples of how Ira & Lucy Vintage Rentals and Styling transformed our cottage and Wagon Barn this past winter with gorgeous sitting areas.
What I love about this recent find is that it isn't something that is outside the average Brides budget. You would be amazed at how affordable it can be to have a one-of-a-kind vintage piece at your wedding. It's a statement piece that guests will be talking about for years to come and it is one more way to make your wedding unique and special. Every Bride I talk to longs for their guests to have a great time. What better way to do that than to give them the feel that they are walking into your living room? Yes, it may be a much classier, sophisticated, drop dead gorgeous version, but nonetheless it will help set the tone that you want them to make themselves comfortable and enjoy the night far past sunset!
