An Intimate and Chic Rehearsal Dinner At A Color Drenched Cafe

As a wedding planner, I have a huge soft spot for the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. With the wedding preparation done, the rehearsal dinner (or welcome party) is the perfect opportunity to be present. It’s about simply enjoying the celebration with your loved ones. (Especially considering how fast your wedding day can fly by!) For my fashionable couple, Adam and Lauren, they chose a Cuban restaurant for their chic rehearsal dinner. The restaurant was a favorite with green color-drenched walls, kitschy décor and of course, delicious food. The bold design of the restaurant was a key factor, because it didn’t require too much additional décor. A few small table arrangements and welcome sign was all we needed to make the evening cozy for guests. Keeping the guest list small and intimate allowed for more time to connect with each person. I love how relaxed and casual the evening felt! It truly allowed Adam and Lauren a chance to relax with their family and friends ahead of their wedding day. Which I can’t wait to share more of – so be sure to check the blog soon for their gorgeous wedding photos and details!
