A Brilliant Idea

Display family photos at the wedding. For a recent event, NYC planner Loulie Walker of Loulie Walker Events had the couple gather more than 40 pictures from their families and the wedding party and put them in a variety of frames. The framed photos were placed on tables throughout the cocktail-hour space, and each was accompanied by a note explaining the identities of the people in the photo and their relationships to the bride and groom.
