Everywhere you look: online, in magazines and in conversation, new and unique wedding ideas are popping up. And in that sea of uniqueness, there’s a lot of pressure on the bride and groom to organize something that will be memorable and reflect their personalities. Well, if you are struggling to find something, there’s a new trend on the block: trucks and carts. Is it unique and completely out of the ordinary? Most definitely. But it really works for these occasions, and to realize why exactly that is, let’s look at several different options of this unique service:
Food truck
Take it right back to the summer days in downtown and surprise your guests with a food truck that will provide burgers, wraps, hot dogs or anything else you can think of! It will definitely bring a more casual atmosphere and make your guests feel relaxed. Depending on your guest list, a lot of people, especially the younger generations, won’t be familiar with fine dining and fancy food, so this will make them feel a lot more comfortable. You can hire one food truck to provide all of the food, but if your guest list is over a hundred people, you might not be able to feed everyone from one truck, and may need additional catering. Another thing to consider when hiring a food truck is your guests’ dietary restrictions. If the food truck can’t provide food from them, make sure you have something else to offer.
Cotton candy cart
Make your wedding a real festival with a cotton candy cart and let your guests enjoy the sticky-sweet pink indulgence. It is the perfect detail for a vintage wedding, along with a pretty vintage flower arrangement. or any country-style outdoors theme. One cart will be plenty to cover everyone’s needs, and you can be sure that it’s going to be the center of many photos taken that day! If you want to make it a full experience, thrown a popcorn cart into the mix, and really make your guest feel like they are in an ‘80s theater! Just make sure you have designated spots with wet wipes, because people are going to want to clean their hands of the sticky sugar. This is a kid-friendly option, but your adult guests will probably enjoy it even more than the kids!
Ice cream truck
This is a must-have for any summer outdoor wedding in the upcoming season. Let your guests pick their own flavors and make them feel like kids again. There are some amazing ice cream vans to choose from, so you can pick something that will fit your theme and destination. Imagine how great it would be if your guests had no idea what was going to happen – and then an ice cream van drives in, music playing and all. It will blow people’s minds – you can definitely do something like this instead of a traditional cake! You can even have a story for every flavor that will tell something about you two so that your guests can get to know you better right there and then!
Convenience cart
People often forget that weddings are a full-day commitment, and that for girls it usually involves high heels. Help them out and have a cart filled with things your guests might need during the day: comfy flat shoes in a variety of sizes so that they can dance the night away, hand fans to cool off, hair ties and pins for hairdo malfunctions, earplugs for those who dislike the loud music when the dancing starts, or sun hats if you are going to be outdoors in the sunshine. Your guests will greatly appreciate the gesture and everyone will have a better time if they are comfortable and catered to.
Although this may not seem like the right thing for an elegant venue, you’d be surprised by how fancy carts can look. Just browse through pinterest, and you’ll find you inspiration! So if you’re looking to create a carnival theme around your wedding, or just want to bring something new to the table, carts might be a great way to do exactly that.
