Are you a couple that loves traveling the world? Celebrate the night before with a travel-themed rehearsal dinner with lots of blues, greens, and browns!

Magnolia Grace, Connelly Springs, NC

Rehearsal Dinner Venue

Lean into nature with a more rustic vibe by choosing a barn setting for the dinner. You can elevate the barn with candles, greenery, and other decor, making it romantic and cozy.

A popular trend in weddings and events is to mix and match types of tables. In the center of the room, place a long kings table for the VIP guests to sit at. On one side of the room place round tables, and save the other side for your international food stations.

Rehearsal Dinner Stationery and Signage

To welcome your guests into the dinner, create a “Love is Life’s Greatest Adventure” welcome sign and place it towards the front of the venue. Help guests find where in the world they are sitting with this cute yet simple seating chart. Coordinate the seating chart with the flags of the countries as table numbers.

Rehearsal Dinner Attire

Wear blues and browns to match with the color scheme!

Rehearsal Dinner Decor

On the king’s table, make a greenery runner to bring in the greens from the color palette. Accent the runner with floating candles for a touch of romance. On the round tables, use a lantern with greenery wrapped around it to complement the other decor in the room.

For place settings, use white plates, silver flatware, clear glassware, and white tablecloths to provide a neutral background for the main colors. Use a blue napkin to round out the color palette.

Rehearsal Dinner Guest Experiences

Set up a table where guests can collect their luggage tags favor and a globe cookie for dessert. Add a centerpiece of a globe to emphasize the travel theme and some greenery and candles to tie in with the king’s table centerpiece.

Place a blue and green floral statement piece behind to add texture and vibrancy.

Travel around the world with the people you love most by having a travel-themed rehearsal dinner. Your guests are sure to have a good time while never leaving the room!
