Summer Wedding Guide

 

Wedding season is upon us! With summer approaching outdoor weddings have been on the rise. If you are considering an outdoor wedding, we’ve constructed a guide with our tips for a successful outdoor wedding.

 

Stay Hydrated

With the Summer heat, it’s important to make sure you and your guests stay hydrated during the wedding ceremony and reception. This can be done by making sure your venue has a hydration station with water bottles throughout the reception and ceremony area. Create the perfect refreshment station with our banquet tables. Banquet tables are great for spreading out food and drinks.

 

Comfort

During an outdoor wedding in the summer, you may be prone to dealing with mosquitoes. Add an element of décor and fight of the pest with a Citronella Candle. Dress up the candles with a variety of table wear. While the bugs can be a minor inconvenience it’s important to consider the sun, and its effects on guests. Renting a tent is going to be essential when throwing an outdoor wedding.

 

Party Tents

Not all tents are created equal and selecting the proper tent for your big day is important. From Clear Frame Top Tents that let the sun shine in, to Pole Tents that give the space a grand feel, we have a wide array of tents that will suit any outdoor wedding.

Additionally, Grimes Events & Party Tents has all the cooling rentals you will need to control the climate inside of your tent!

 

Bathrooms

Another important thing to note for your outdoor wedding is the bathroom. In order to make sure your guests are comfortable and have access to a bathroom, you can rent restroom trailers. Grimes offers a vast selection of bathroom trailers including: Single stall ADA restroom trailers, 3-stall restroom trailers, 5-stall luxury restroom trailers, and 9-stall restroom trailers.

 

Dress Comfortably

With an outdoor wedding, you’ll want to dress comfortably depending on the temperature and location of the venue. For the reception, you can bring a spare pair of shoes, so you don’t tarnish your special shoes for the big day.

Wedding Themes

Over the past two years, weddings were put on pause while society had to navigate our new reality among covid-19. Now as things begin to pick up again weddings have resumed, and we couldn’t be more ecstatic! In 2022 people are incorporating their own unique touch on their wedding day through wedding themes.

 

Beach Wedding

A common theme and wedding day favorite are beach weddings! This theme gives you and your guests the opportunity to enjoy a tropical and serene environment. Although this trend has been done before, there are some ways to elevate it. One way to add a personal touch to a beach theme is incorporating a special shoe valet. Provide guests with a spot to drop off their shoes so they can attend the wedding barefoot if they desire.

When it comes to beach weddings, accessible and clean restrooms are hard to come by. Including Luxury Restroom Trailers ensures that your venue has an upscale feel while being functional for guests. Another element that can be incorporated into this theme is a boho-chic table setting. Bohemian details are the perfect addition to your table setting at your beach wedding. As your wedding nears toward evening, light up your wedding with our Bistro Lighting.

 

Bridgerton-Inspired Wedding

The hit Netflix show Bridgerton has become a cultural phenomenon. Bridgerton is set to take place during the Regency era in England. The Regency era featured elaborate costumes, hair, florals, and elegant décor. We see more weddings incorporating this theme in their clothing, food, and décor. Rentals like our Antique Chargers, Mahogany Chiavari Chairs,  Marble Flooring, and Chandeliers pair perfectly with the regal theme.

 

Sustainability

Eco-friendly environments have become an integral wedding theme for 2022. When decorating your sustainable wedding theme, you can use natural materials like flowers, greenery, wood, and stone. To add dimension to these natural elements use a Clear Frame Tent where your natural location will be seen through the roof of the tent. Embracing the natural elements around your location can double as a scenic background. Another way to incorporate sustainability is by choosing digital invites to eliminate the excess use of paper.

 

Secret Garden Wedding

With this season of spring, you can’t go wrong with a secret garden theme. Enjoy your spring wedding with this outdoor theme consisting of a variety of floral arrangements. There is no need for excess décor as the flowers will be the focal point. Feel free to incorporate lush plants into your table settings.

 

Your wedding day is considered one of the most monumental events that will take place in your life. We have rentals for all new and existing wedding themes. Contact Grimes Event & Party Tents for all your wedding rental needs!

2022 Wedding Trends!

 

Spring has sprung and wedding season is in full force. In past years, Covid- 19 put large gatherings to a screeching halt, including weddings. Couples are more ready than ever to celebrate their love and coming into 2022 with a bang. Stay tuned for all the wedding trends you can look forward to all year long.

 

Guest Focus

 

Life is fleeting and full of unexpected turns. Now more than ever couples are choosing intention during this special time. Weddings are becoming far more purposeful, focused on the guest experience overall. Couples are focused on creating an amazing experience for their guests they are sure to take with them. Personalization in décor, entertainment, and interactive activities, are just some of the ways couples are incorporating intention into their big day!

 

My Wedding, My Way!

 

In 2022, couples are breaking away from tradition. We see more couples moving away from the classic cookie-cutter wedding towards a wedding that represents the couple, in whichever way that might be.

Although it’s always a good day for a white wedding, brides are altering what it means to be a beautiful bride on their big day. In 2022, brides are experimenting with colorful wedding dress designs. From ivory, champagne, and nude to hues of peach, blush, and blues, modern brides are stepping outside of the box and we’re here for it!

Wedding themes are becoming more than a perfect color combo for your venue space. Couples are transforming their space into a new realm of possibility. Rustic, Vintage, Garden, and Holidays are just some of the unique themes inspiring wedding design.

Another trend we’re seeing this year is virtual save the dates! A sustainable and easily distributable option in place of paper wedding invitations. The couple can create a graphic design that supports their wedding theme via digital platform like a website. The web page is filled with information about your event, while eliminating costs of printing and shipping fees.

 

Party or Peace? You Decide!

 

Coming into 2022, the traditional expectation of what a wedding should be has been thrown out.

Expectations of what your wedding should look like has changed coming into 2022. The classic grand function has taken a turn for a more intimate gathering. With some influence from the pandemic, some couples decided to have a small ceremony with their close friends and immediate family, packed with intention and attention to detail.

On the other hand, some couples have decided to go all out or go home! Full wedding weekends are also trending right now. With activities, relaxation, and vows tied into a weekend getaway, guests are sure to feel like they are on a vacation of love

 

Grimes sees these trends and evolves with them! Let Grimes Events and Party Tents give you the wedding space of your dreams. Three days of transformations or one simple set up grimes has all your wedding rental needs. Weddings are what we do! Contact us today!

Wedding Boom: How Covid-19 Birthed a Boom

 

Looking back, 2020 seemed like the perfect year for everyone. The country anticipated a year of clarity and being able to enjoy the outdoors again. This is especially true for the many couples who decided to solidify their love through marriage. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans for 2020. The whole world was hit with a pandemic that would become a global focus for the next two years. As we enter 2022, we are left with the residue of the goals and many weddings that have yet to be fulfilled in past years.

 

Wedding Push Back

According to the Statista Research Department, an estimated 82% of weddings were postponed in the year 2020 and 11 % were completely canceled. Now as the world works to get back to some normalcy, millions of couples are trying to finish what they started in 2020. The surge of backed-up weddings has led to a global wedding boom.

The overwhelming number of weddings have vendors and event planners booking through 2024 and on. A wedding is such an important event and as planners know, needs to be executed perfectly. A perfect wedding can take months to a year to plan and changes to a timeline can affect the planning process.

 

Global Supply Chain Strains

Since the pandemic started, supply chains have been stunted, having effects on the wedding industry. This directly affects the ability of wedding planners to produce. For wedding planners to target the requests of a wedding, they must be able to connect with various suppliers. Suppliers slowed down production for several reasons in the last few years. As the virus strengthened more and more laborers were out of work. Most people could not return until vaccinated, perpetuating more suppliers going without workers to produce materials. Shipping routes were also affected when trying to confine the virus. International governments, including our own, were cautious about traveling to other countries to stop the spread.

With a slowing supply chain and a boom of weddings to prepare it’s important for event planners to be one step ahead of this. Simplify where you can and plan as far out in advance as you can. Communicate clearly with your wedding clients.  Ensure clients are aware of the obstacles that could come up due to the relationship between the pandemic and planning a wedding. Explain that they must be open to pivot and adjust as you walk through the planning process to create the experience of their dreams.

 

Covid -19

Although vendors are moving slower, they are still moving and there is a high chance you will have all that you need to create a beautiful wedding. To ensure you have a hassle-free event it’s important to connect with vendors and event planners that can provide you with safe options that align with the Covid-19 climate of today. Work with vendors who can offer social distancing solutions. Grimes Events & Party Tents has been ahead of the Covid guidelines since the beginning of the pandemic and continues to create beautiful, functional, and safe, events with their various rentals. Some of these rentals include isolation dividers, pipe and drape, stanchions, tents, hand sanitizer stations, and individual restroom trailers to name a few.

Many wedding planners have had to re-determine wedding plans around the precautions that are being taken per state.  For example, couples that originally spent to accommodate 100 guests will have to settle for 50 guests because of crowding and the risk that could have. Not only are couples having to downsize their event but may have to consider getting a venue with outdoor space for airflow through the area. Masks are also still in effect leaving guests urged to wear a face covering. All these above precautions are dependent on the state but can be worked around with various social distances solutions.

 

The show must go on!

Some of this information can be daunting to young couples and event planners, but I can assure you the wedding of your dreams is still very much possible. With the right event planner and vendors like Grimes Events & Party Tents, who remain within the Covid -19 guidelines for all events, Covid -19 and pressures of the Wedding Boom will not stop you from creating a wedding to remember! If you are planning to marry this year, consider the above obstacles and come up with ways you and your wedding planner can work around them.
