There really is no end to making your wedding day extra special and memorable – there are so many wonderful opportunities to wow up your wedding day and leave everyone smiling. These can be little things, or big gestures and going the extra mile. We explore some ways that will wow up your wedding day like no other.
All about creating an amazing first expression
Let’s not forget that your guests are irrefutably among the most important elements of your wedding. For the same reason, creating a pretty amazing first impression starts with the way you welcome them to your special day. Handing out tastefully done goodie bags or boxes adhering to the theme of the wedding are a sure shot at setting the tone right with the guests for the rest of the day, while also brightening up the overall wedding day venue look and feel.
Get married to social media too
Ten years ago, we probably wouldn’t have even thought about recommending something like this. Social media has become an indispensable part of human relationships and interactions, with the same continuing to make its way into important events of our lives. Starting from a wedding hashtag, social media can be woven in as both a creative and useful part of weddings in more ways than one. Live stream of photos, geo-filters to up the venue’s online presence during the big day as well as engagement via quirky photo booths and frames for all the insta-friendly guests – we could go on and on.
Personalisation is key
We cannot stress enough how amazing DIY elements are at the wedding venue. Customizable cocktail bars and desserts stations where guests get to pick how they want to enjoy themselves, makes for great memories as well as bringing everyone together. And just so that things don’t go completely crazy during these DIY delights, we recommend having a cocktails/desserts pro around to guide your guests.
Did we mention kids?
Let’s face it. A lion’s share of the guests at the wedding will be bringing along children for the happy occasion. And while they will appear to be as adorable as always, keeping them engaged and happy are a prerequisite for one and all. Thinking big? A delightful bouncy castle maybe what you’re looking for to keep them little ones on their toes while the rest of the guests enjoy a hassle-free evening. Ice-cream stalls work wonders too, not just for kids but also the adults who accompany them and momentarily forget that they aren’t kids anymore.
E for Entertainment
If you assumed that the e in weddings stand for emotions, think again. Guests at your special day deserve to be entertained and how! Up your wedding music with a string quartet or a neat jazz band, while discovering the Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran among your guests is possible courtesy a karaoke station! If that wasn’t enough music to your ears, consider hiring singing. Light up your special day with fireworks for the soul (and social media), or fire-breathers can complement the spectacle quite effectively too! Looking for more immersive experiences for your guests? Magicians, comedians and even caricature artists are sure to keep one and all engaged while enjoying the rest of the evening with the bride and groom. We bet you whispered “wow” under your breath right about now.
