Progressive Weddings... genius idea

Source: Oh Happy Day!

Catching up on my bridal blogs this evening, I stumbled upon a post by Jordan Ferney at Oh Happy Day! where she has chronicled the wedding of a friend of hers that was a progressive wedding.

What do I mean by that? Well in college, we had something called a Chocolate Progressive where every room in our section hosted something deliciously chocolatey and we invited all of campus to come tour the dorms and try everything- moving from one room to the next.

So how might that same concept be applied to a wedding? Scoot over Jordan's blog to learn more details but basically - her friend and her husband had a multi-stage reception including surprising every guest with a rented bike to ride to the first part of the reception. They moved through three different sites ending with a toast in the botanical gardens. 

What a brilliant idea! So often it's easy to assume that your wedding / wedding reception needs to follow a certain rubric and here is a couple really thinking outside the box. I truly love the layered surprise aspect and blowing traditional wedding expectations out of the water. I'm completely inspired.
