How do you create pretty corners for your wedding? Find all the ideas and advice from Flavy & Clémence, aka Velvet Rendez-vous

The Lounge corner

Often, this corner is a real asset during a cocktail party, for example: fitted out with pretty seats normally used indoors, it gives it a playful indoor/outdoor feel (rugs, plaids, small decorative accessories…). For your wedding, you want your guests to be relaxed and happy to have a good time together! The “Lounge” corner lets them feel at home, making the space their own. It’s always nicer to sip a glass of cocktail in a beautiful retro banquette than on a classic chair! Not to mention that the photos will also be much more representative of your wedding. Don’t hesitate to propose several corners of this style, seating 4 to 6 for example, scattered around your reception venue, which will give a real dynamism to the exchanges between your guests. Think about adding candles, lanterns or garlands to illuminate these areas at the end of the day. Guests wishing to spend time outdoors during the evening will appreciate the concept all the more!

Games corner

This corner remains one of our favorites. There’s often a fear of “downtime” at a wedding. An entertainment area makes it easy to bring groups together, while youngsters can challenge grown-ups to a game of Puissance 4, and have a great time between two petits fours! Time spent around a foosball table organizing tournaments between guests is fairly representative. Outdoor games are on the increase, and are just as popular during the reception as they are at brunch the next day. A simple, easy idea that’s guaranteed to set the mood!

Photo corner or Photobooth

A great opportunity for your guests to make their own group images, without waiting for the photographer to come and pose them with their glass of champagne in hand. In a spirit of conviviality, these photos are always appreciated for their natural, spontaneous look!

Drinks corner

Here’s a corner (or corners) not to be overlooked! They allow you to manage the flow of your guests at several points during the cocktail party or evening, and thus guarantee a certain fluidity. Installing a few carts or barrels with bottles gives your guests the opportunity to circulate and serve themselves. And on the same concept as the rest, it’s always prettier on wedding photos!

The special Kids corner

It’s a great way for little ones to get together, keep busy and let mom and dad sip their cocktails (in moderation, of course!). When everyone’s having a good time, the party’s bound to be a success!
