Cocktail wedding – It’s no secret that we love cocktail-style weddings here – probably because we have a seriously beautiful collection of cocktail furniture, but because of the super fun and relaxed ambiance that seems to come alive at stand-up events.
Guests roaming and mingling, music in the air, a killer bar set-up – the perfect way to celebrate such a special occasion amongst loved ones.
A couple of years ago we briefly touched on some tips and tricks when it comes to buying furniture for a cocktail wedding, and this time we’re back to share our expertise when it comes to creating the perfect furniture plan for a cocktail-style event.
With a few hundred more cocktail furniture designs. now under our design, and an exciting range of new inventory we thought we would delve into some more detailed advice and furniture suggestions to help you create a beautiful – and let’s not forget, practical – setting.
So if you’re planning a stand-up event and have NO idea where to start with decor – read on for our considerations and recommendations when it comes to buying furniture for a cocktail wedding.
This is the first question we get asked when it comes to furniture hire for cocktail receptions – how much furniture is recommended for X amount of guests?
Personally, we think enough seating for at least half of your guests is a comfortable amount. With your guests roaming and mingling throughout the evening, you definitely don’t want to go overboard with furniture and allocate one seat per person, leaving you with a bunch of pieces that just won’t get used.
In saying that, you do want to have enough comfortable and practical seating options to make sure your guests have a place to sit down, relax, take a breath and rest their feet during the night.
