Plan your At-Home Wedding!

July 17, 2020

We’ve all seen the new trends spreading across social media as unconventional becomes the new conventional – weddings which were supposed to take place this year are now taking on a new life as couples and their families host the special day in their own backyards! It’s hard to imagine what we’d all do in the position of a couple getting ready to be married at their chosen venue and have it all change in the blink of an eye. We ask ourselves how we’d react in their position – what do you tell the guests? What do you do with all the homemade centerpieces or monogramed napkins you picked out for the cake table? What about the rented tuxes, dresses, reserved limos, and flower displays?

Despite all that’s taken place in the short time of 2020, engaged couples are forever changing the standards for how weddings are celebrated! With social distancing standards, travel restrictions, and health concerns, it’s difficult to have a room of guests without the overall concern of current circumstances. It’s hard enough to know that the venue you dreamt about could no longer be where you tie the knot unless you decide to change the date or year of your special day! However, newlyweds around the world have beaten the odds and changed how weddings are done: DIY weddings have become the 2020 trend for couples everywhere and continues to gain popularity as the year continues!

Getting Creative

In order to save the hours, weeks, and months of planning by the bride and groom amidst uncommon times, couples scramble to continue with their plans to become man and wife despite everything happening. A prominent trend taking 2020 by storm is the DIY wedding where families and friends come together to give the couple the wedding to remember by hosting the entire event at home! Ordinary living rooms, dining areas, and backyards are being transformed into extraordinary reception experienced filled with décor and accents representing the bride and groom. Standard tables are transformed into gorgeous atmospheric accents as they host beverage tables, buffet trays, and the perfect surface for gifts and well-wishes.

Ceremony Paradise

Have no fear when it comes to setting up tables for your guests to gather around once the ceremony is over and dinner commences. The centerpieces you picked out which match the invitations will look equally as lovely on the ivory tablecloths no matter the time of day. And the handmade name and table number cards add a comforting charm as you display your personal and unique creativity as well as the power of family when all skills are combined and showcased! Your guests will be in awe of your newly designed ceremony space as they converse over delicious food and beverages. As you and your newlywed spouse make rounds to see everyone, your mind can be at ease as they all enjoy an evening in comfort with your choice of chairs and tables! Little do they know these essential pieces can easily be cleaned and stored away when the night is over.

Visual Perfection

When the time comes, transform the outside of your home and backyard into the fantasy you’ve researched, pinned, and dreamt about from the moment you got engaged! With the right tools, you’ll have a beautiful venue full of life, love, and visual aesthetic matching the couples style and themed wedding. And when it comes time for it all to be taken down, you’ll do so with ease as you admire the hard work which made your special day one to remember!

Take the strange circumstances we find ourselves in today and run with them – have no fear when it comes to your big day because we at COSCO are here to make your fantasy a reality! When it comes time for you to say “I Do,” we’ll be here to support you every step of the way as you create a beautifully intimate ceremony to celebrate love, happiness, and being together!
