Ideas for a Philly Themed Wedding

luckygrl1224 · December 2011

My FI and I have both been raised in Philly and are in love with the idea of doing an Old World Philadelphia themed wedding. Other than putting the Love statue everywhere (which can be really tacky and boring after a while), are there any other "philly inspired" ideas to decorate the reception? Any ideas are welcome

So far we have mini soft pretzels and mustard as hor d'erves, names of special places in Philly for table numbers and Philly water ice for dessert...

Can you do little cheesesteak sliders for apps also? Or maybe for a late night snack!?

I agree with the cheesesteak sliders idea...Maybe tastykakes can be your late night snack...mmmm this post is making me hungry!

I can't find it now but I've seen Philadelphia skyline decals for the walls. It's really nice and it would go great on a reception wall. And it might be a nice back drop for pictures.

We are having a philly themed wedding also. We are doing different locations for the table names (love park,city hall etc.), soft pretzels for the favors and skeleton keys with your name and table ....

I had a guest post on my blog who had a Philadelphia guest book, DIYed. It's pretty cool. Her invites are great as well.

i know a bride who took pictures of doors all around Olde City, and used them for her table numbers... totally adorable.

Love the soft pretzel idea, and the cheesesteak sliders. I also agree that the LOVE Statue can be overdone.

I love these ideas! Thanks everyone who posted

and BlissPhilly, I completely forgot about Tastykakes. I may ask our caterer if he could put them out with the desserts!

I found little bells (Liberty Bell, if you will) to hold the escort cards :-)
