We are planning a cozy winter wedding with luncheon on a Sunday. Ceremony to begin at noon. We planned to have luncheon shortly afterwards, not thinking a traditional cocktail hour was necessary. Guests will be in their Sunday best, but we are going for an intimate, more relaxed atmosphere (deep in the woods in a lodge). Most people are traveling about an hour.
Has anyone done a Sunday luncheon without factoring in a "cocktail" hour? Did you go straight to luncheon, or what did you do in lieu of a cocktail hour? We plan to do photos first to save time, although it would have been ideal to do afterwards, we didn't think a luncheon timeline would afford it.
