Things We Love to See on Wedding Day

At Urban Daisy, an event venue located in the heart of Minneapolis, we have the privilege of witnessing hundreds of love stories unfold. Each wedding day brings its own beauty and personality, and no two celebrations are ever the same. From personal details to creative design choices, there are certain elements that always make us happy and not all of them require a big budget.

An Excited Couple

First and foremost, we love to see an excited couple. The anticipation, the nerves, and most of all the love that fills the room from family and friends sets the tone for the entire day. When a couple arrives feeling relaxed and ready to savor every moment, it shows. That genuine joy is what makes the day feel so special. The best way to achieve that feeling is by putting your trust in your vendors and allowing us to handle the details, the decor, and the stress of the day. When you can let go and simply be present, everything unfolds naturally and beautifully.”

The Magic of Linens

It might sound simple, but linens have the power to completely transform a room. They set the tone for your entire event, creating an instant impression the moment guests step into your cocktail hour or dinner reception. Thoughtfully chosen linens are one of those subtle details that guests may not immediately identify, but they will absolutely feel the difference they make.Whenever we are asked whether upgraded linens are worth it, our answer is always the same: Yes! Linens are a true game changer and often one of the most overlooked elements in the planning process. Floor-length linens, in particular, create a polished, finished look that elevates every table and ties the entire room together beautifully.We love when couples use linens to reflect their personal style through pattern, texture, and color. Whether soft and romantic or modern and crisp, linens bring warmth, cohesion, and intention to your design. They are the finishing touch that pulls everything together and creates those unforgettable “wow” moments that make a space feel complete.

The Beauty of Florals and Greenery

Flowers have a way of bringing life and energy into a space. They create a mood, soften the edges and create a sense of romance that feels effortless and organic. But beautiful floral design does not have to mean an extravagant budget. Some of the most memorable weddings we have hosted at Urban Daisy have featured simple, thoughtful arrangements, homegrown ferns, fresh greenery, or seasonal blooms that feel personal and authentic to the couple.

We love seeing couples embrace creative floral choices that fit both their style and their budget. A few well-placed arrangements, a touch of greenery on the tables, or a single statement installation can have a big impact. Even minimalist designs feel lush when they are intentional and thoughtfully styled.

Because our space is already filled with natural greenery, even minimal floral accents make a stunning impact. Florals can enhance your event without overwhelming it. Flowers and greenery have a quiet way of making everything feel welcoming, and bring instant smiles. 

The Glow of Candlelight

Candles are one of our favorite ways to create atmosphere and romance. Whether it is the soft flicker of tall tapers, clustered tea lights, or the dramatic glow of candelabras, candlelight adds an instant sense of warmth and intimacy to any space. It softens the room and creates an instant vibe. We love layering different heights and styles of candles to add depth and dimension to the tablescape. Candles are also one of the most budget friendly ways to create a romantic atmosphere, proof that sometimes the simplest details make the biggest impact.

Creative and Personal Seating Charts

A seating chart can be both functional and fun, and we love when couples find creative ways to showcase theirs. It is one of those design moments that can be completely personal while still serving a purpose.There are so many ways to make this element your own. We have seen couples display seating charts that include photos of themselves through the years. Adding ribbon in your wedding colors to hang your sign is a simple yet effective way to tie the design into your overall palette, creating a cohesive and polished look. Some creative ways that our clients have used escort cards which doubled as guest favors; fun sunglasses, a tiny jar of honey, decorated cookies, special cocktail mixes, or a handwritten note of thanks making guests feel appreciated and connected. It can be a DIY opportunity for couples who enjoy crafting something meaningful together.

Personalized Moments 

What makes a wedding truly unforgettable are the little details that speak to who you are as a couple. These personal touches bring heart and authenticity to the day, creating moments that you, your bridal party and your guests will remember long after the celebration ends.

We have seen couples incorporate cherished family heirlooms into their decor, surprise their partner by singing a song, or sharing a heartfelt speech just before walking down the aisle. Some bridal parties have planned special dances for the couple, filling the room with laughter. A toast from the bridal party before the ceremony is always a meaningful touch, and there is nothing better than cheers from your hype squad. Grand entrances that reflect a couple’s unique personality are always popular and never fail to delight guests and set the tone for the celebration ahead.

Even special photos, whether captured in the moment or intentionally planned, can become lasting memories that tell your love story in the most authentic way. And for couples who want a quiet moment together, sharing private vows before the ceremony creates an intimate, emotional pause before the day unfolds.

Fun and Unexpected Vendors

We love when couples surprise their guests with something unexpected. An ice cream truck, a live painter, permanent bracelets, temporary tattoos (or real ones), cookie cart, or even a mobile IV bar. Having unique vendors can add a playful and memorable element to your wedding and bring added energy.

Signature Cocktails and Creative Bar Menus

The bar is often one of the most social and popular spots at a wedding, so we love when couples have fun with it. It starts by creating a thoughtful bar menu, some couples like to  incorporate drinks that reflect their theme or the season.

Some of our couples take the fun even further by turning it into a friendly competition. One of our favorites was an “Old Fashioned” contest featuring two versions of the cocktail, one Wisconsin-style and one Minnesota-style. Guests voted throughout the night, and we are proud to say that Minnesota took the win!

We also love when couples personalize their bar details. Naming drinks after pets or inside jokes always gets a smile, and custom stir sticks, napkins, or bar signage can elevate the look and tie it perfectly into your overall design. These small details make your bar feel intentional, interactive, and full of personality, and who doesn’t love a great cocktail that tells a story?

A Choreographed First Dance

There is something unforgettable about a choreographed first dance. Whether it is just the two of you or a surprise performance that includes friends or family, it always brings smiles and energy to the room. The best part is being able to relive it later through photos and video. Watching the dance again often becomes a treasured memory, not only for the couple but for the entire family. For many loved ones, it is the first time they are seeing this special moment, and it often brings happy tears, laughter, and pride all at once.

At Urban Daisy, we know that not every budget can include every upgrade, and that is completely okay. The most memorable weddings are the ones that reflect the couple’s personalities and priorities. Choose the details that mean the most to you, and let your day feel authentic, beautiful, and true to who you are. Whatever decor you choose to fill the room with, your wedding will always be special because it is yours.

If you are looking for a modern Minneapolis wedding venue filled with light, greenery, and warmth, we would love to welcome you to Urban Daisy. Our space was designed to celebrate love stories of all kinds, and we can't wait to help you bring your vision to life.
