If you’re planning a wedding that you really want to be a celebration of two lives merging together rather than an over-the-top show, you and your betrothed might be the perfect candidates for a morning wedding. Morning weddings can be more intimate and less flashy than their nighttime counterparts.
Simple Catering
A midmorning wedding gets to completely bypass an expensive cocktail hour. Instead, offer something simple like premade mimosas or a design your own bloody Mary set up for guests while they wait for pictures. Breakfast catering Seattle WA is generally less expensive that a full plated dinner. It can involve a pastry display, quiche, fresh fruit and coffee.
Less Fussy
A breakfast wedding is less fussy for everyone involved. The wedding party doesn’t need long gowns or sequins. A beautiful way to outfit your attendants is to let them choose their own dresses from a pastel palette. Groomsmen can wear blue or grey suits with pastel ties. The guests can wear “church clothes” or what they will be wearing to work later.
Time Management
If you want to get a jump on your honeymoon, a morning wedding leaves plenty of time to catch an afternoon flight. If you and your partner are already living together, simply go back home, finish packing and then get on your way. Instead of collapsing exhausted in an expensive hotel the first night, put the money towards something on your honeymoon that you can really enjoy.
No DJ
You can still get a DJ if you want, of course, but a morning wedding suggests a jazz quartet or even a simple harpist. If you’re not big dancers, there is no reason to provide dancing at your wedding. Any guest who feels they are missing out can go clubbing that night. This day is about what’s important to the two of you.
Morning weddings tend to be less expensive for several reasons, but even if money isn’t a concern for you, the timing alone makes the day more about you and less about partying.
