I'd like to use a synonym for "aftermath" without the negative connotation. My context is a wedding ceremony or party, and "everybody is still hyped up in its [aftermath]."
I can be flexible, so the answer doesn't have to fit exactly into the template "in its ____".

'Wake' works. It's more neutral than positive, but the meaning should be clear.
... everybody is still hyped up in its wake.
