How to Incorporate Your Destination Wedding into Your Local Reception
Posted on June 23, 2017

Having a destination wedding can be a beautiful memory for you and your spouse, and perhaps, a select few guests. However, most of the people in your life that youād like to celebrate you love with just canāt attend ā either because of financial limitations or because of a spur-of-the-moment matrimony decision on your part. Celebrating locally at a Lansdale, PA, party venue after your wedding abroad is a great way to include everyone in the fun!
Venue
Thereās no reason you canāt throw a big party to celebrate your destination wedding since you mightāve saved money on the actual ceremony. Pick a Lansdale, PA, party venue that can accommodate your style and the number of guests youād like to invite. Work with a venue that has experience in hosting parties of any type ā whether wedding-related or not.
Destination Details
You loved where you got married, so bring some of that back home by incorporating elements of your destination wedding into your local reception. Did you say āI doā on a beach in Hawaii? Give each guest a lei at your local reception. Serve a menu of island foods like pork and pineapple and include a signature cocktail that reminds you of your wedding locale. Though not everyone could join you at the ceremony, theyāll feel like they did!
Picture it
Surely, you had at least one or two pictures snapped of the big day. Display them! Incorporate images of your destination wedding into several aspects of your dĆ©cor. Add photos of the ceremony ā or even just the place you got married ā into centerpieces, venue dĆ©cor, and more! If your guests werenāt there, theyāll want to know and see every detail!
The Dress
Chances are you wonāt be wearing your wedding dress at your Lansdale, PA, party venue. But, that doesnāt mean you canāt pay homage to your destination wedding locale when it comes to your reception attire! You can even wear white. The local reception should definitely feel like a wedding reception, so having a second white dress to wear during your party is fine. Add a bit of your destination to it ā either in the dress itself or through accessories. And, encourage your spouse to do the same!
