Description
Guest activities are often booked as an afterthought. The booth arrives with a grey backdrop, the guest book sits on a bare trestle and the lawn games are tipped onto the grass. Each one works, but none of them look like they belong to the wedding, and badly placed stations cause queues, flash in guests’ eyes and cables across walkways.
This guide shows you how to style every activity station so it matches the design, photographs beautifully and flows without anyone standing over it.
Inside you will find:
- Twelve questions to ask the couple, vendors and venue before you design
- Six backdrop options, from fabric drape to repurposed ceremony pieces, with sizing guidance
- Lighting for booths and phone selfie walls that flatters faces in evening light
- Props and signage guests actually use
- Guest book station formats, styling and hand-over
- Lawn games, kids corners, live artists and make-your-own stations
- Placement and flow rules for queues, power and fire exits
- A station planning brief, station plan, supplier brief, props order sheet and set-up checklist
It is written for wedding stylists, planners and venue coordinators, and it is clear enough for a couple planning their own guest activities.
Once you have used it, your stations stop looking like hired extras and start looking designed. Guests find them, use them and move on without a crowd, suppliers arrive knowing exactly what you need, and the couple ends up with photos and messages that match the rest of their day. It is the kind of detail that gets a stylist remembered and recommended.
