Last week we shared 5 stunning reasons to wear white to your wedding rehearsal and dinner. If white is not the right color choice for you, don’t fret. It is not an unwritten law that you must wear the color white just because you are the bride to be. It is your day and you deserve to look and feel like a knockout for all of the events leading up to your Big Day.

Ways-To-Save-Money-From-EventsbyLTake this opportunity to invest in a piece that you know will be circulating your wardrobe so you get the most bang for your buck. Classic, timeless, and flattering silhouettes are our favorite choices for this occasion. Since you will be heavily photographed in your attire, we recommend staying away from options that are on trend right now. After all, this will be a something you will be looking back on for years and years to come. No pressure. 😉

Whether you decide to pick a color in your reception palette or choose your favorite color, wear what makes you feel like a million bucks.

Here is a roundup of our favorite colorful options for you to wear to your wedding rehearsal and dinner that you will want to wear again and again!

Super Cheap and Simple Ways To Have a Fun Wedding | Events by L | Chicagoland’s Premier Wedding and Event Planning Experts

Super CHEAP ways

Eminjayin Productions

There are so many unique ways to make your wedding fun and memorable without breaking the bank. Best of all, you will be left with the most fantastic keepsakes to remember your Big Day by.

These Mad Lib notes for the Bride and Groom are from our very own Events by L Online Design Studio.  They make for a very entertaining detail that will capture guests attention.

We recommend placing them at individually on guest tables and creating a designated box or holder for guests to place their completed entries in.  The new Mr. and Mrs. can decide to delight in these notes on an anniversary, throughout their first year of marriage, or whenever is special to them.

Guests will have so much fun writing advice and notes for you on these adorable chalkboard-style well wish cards. The black and white cards are personalized. Great keepsake!

We love this printable sign from SugarHillGraphics that pairs nicely with the charming notes.

This giant dartboard/canvas covered by paint filled balloons is such an exciting way for your guests to be entertained while creating one-of-a-kind artwork for your new home as Mr. and Mrs.

Your guests will appreciate being a part of designing this for you. Fill up the balloons with the colors that fit your home. Brilliant idea! You can check out more amazing details from this wedding that was featured on Every Last Detail.

Let your guests carve etchings into a special serving platter like this. Just think of how your heart will melt with memories every Christmas, or Thanksgiving as you pull out the etched platter and serve your family dinner on it.

What are some of the unique ideas you are implementing at your wedding to make it super fun for you and your guests?

As professional event planners, a lot of our time is happily spent creating and exploring new ideas and elements to include in our weddings and events. We are constantly on Pinterest checking out our clients inspiration boards, and creating our own as well.

As you can imagine, we come across some pretty amazing and interesting ideas and we thought we would share some of these ideas with you on a regular basis.

Hopefully they will inspire you as well and help you get your creative juices flowing. If nothing else, they will at least be creative and beautiful things that we love and hope you will too!

Since it is festive Friday, some champagne was only fitting. We love using frozen cranberries on skewers to keep champagne and other cocktails cold. Try this at your next party and take champs to the next level!

We are in love with these “Thanks For Popping By,” popcorn wedding favors. They not only look adorable, but are budget friendly, and would be an easy DIY project the bride and her maids to do together well in advance.
