I don't remember the cake or BP attire. I do remember chairs, centerpieces and food. I zone in on those tables I guess.

I remember the food, entertainment and the venue itself. For the life of me I can't remember flowers, chair covers, centrepieces.

I plan on having massive centrepieces so people will have no choice but to remember them ha ha

I remember the BM dresses because I was a BM

I remember the food and having a good time.

Don't remember,

ETA: I'm sitting here trying to remember the brides dresses. I only remember my 1 sister dress because it was purple.

I don't remember what food was served just if it was good, chairs, cake, favors Etc.

Photobooths (good and bad)

Unique favors

Candy buffets in lieu of traditional favors

The good times

I remember most things, but I've only been to a handful in the last few years.

Before planning a wedding I had only been to three weddings and all of which I was under fifteen. (26 now) i remember the food, and my family, and dancing, and being in photos. I remember the favors as well(but i was also a kid and a bell was an awesome toy).

I do remember being one of the only children at a child free wedding and it was the most boring and disapointing being one of the five kids there.

Things I do remember

Beverage - if it's good and/or original (my friend had his and her favorite cocktails to serve along with other beverages.

DJ/Music

Special vendors - photo booths, ice cream truck, late night snacks

Venues

Guestbook and/of advice box

Fun

Things I do not remember:

Decors - centerpieces, linens, lighting, etc

Chairs and tables

Party Favors

Cake

Food

Flowers

Honestly, just because you dont remember things, doesnt meant that during the ceremony you didnt think they were nice or cute or made the event special. Not being catty, just a thought I had.

I don't remember songs for the special dances but thats about it... I have an insanely good memory for details

Things that I really remember:

If the wine was good or bad

If you left me starving during cocktail hour - or I had to hunt down waiters carrying meager amounts of food because the cocktail hour lasted for 2-3 hours and you only ordered enough so that people could have a single mushroom cap

If the music was good or bad

If the ceremony was too long or really boring - I don't mind 30-45 minute ceremonies, I just hate when they aren't filled with love and the character of the couple

If the food was good

I remember overall:

The venue/how the space is decorated

The food

Centerpieces

Bride/Groom attire

Favors

DJ

Things that are fuzzy:

Bridesmaids/Groomsmen attire (unless they were hideous, then I remember)

Flowers

Lighting (unless they have something like a monogram on the dance floor, then I remember)

What I remember:

The moment the bride appears at the end of the aisle

Bridesmaids gowns (colors)

Flowers/Centerpieces

Food

Bar

Who I sat with

If the music is deafeningly loud

What I don't remember:

I get blurry on the bridal gowns -- unless the color is unusual (weird, since I remember BM gowns)

First dance choices

Favors

What flavor the cake was

I do want to argue that I will remember the feel of the wedding and a lot of times it's the small details that make the ambiance. I may not notice the twinkle lights or uplighting, but if the room had the ambiance that those create I will remember that overall. That said, the things that stand out but would otherwise go unnoticed are when flow is interrupted (large gaps at same venue) DJ awkwardness, bad cakes, And chair covers. I won't notice the chair, but put a cover on it and I'll remember the cover, and not necessarily in a good way.
