Comfortably decorated lounge areas at cocktail hour give loved ones a place to relax and mingle prior to the reception, while reception lounges offer an area for guests to rest inbetween dances. Another wedding trend popular amongst many Inside Weddings couples is to host an after-party for loved ones who want to celebrate all night long. These types of parties definitely call for plush lounge areas, as guests will need a stylish and comfortable space to kick up their heels following a night of revelry.
