Create the ‘wow’ factor and get your guests talking by adding personal touches that everyone will remember:
- Theme the wedding day around something that you are really passionate about e.g. fashion, music, colour, sports,etc.
- Decorate the wedding cake with cake toppers that reflect your personality e.g Hollywood glamour, golfing, sports… Visit www.wedingstar.com for more ideas
- For a classy contemporary look, combine flowers with floating candles.
- Number the tables with significant dates for both of you; dates of birth, first date, first kiss, engagement date, etc.
- Instead of a guest book have a wish tree. Place a willow brunch in a vase and decorate it with flowers of your choice. Attach ribbons to gift tag cards and tell your guests to leave their wishes on the tree.
- Instead of flower arrangement as a centre piece have your favourite tree or plant in a beautiful pot and tell your guests to take it with them afterwards.
- Hang lanterns on the trees, create a path with lanterns and candles leading to the reception area for the ultimate romantic atmosphere.
- Give goody bags to guests as they go home. Include something they would really like; sweets for the journey or a pampering treat.
- Children on the wedding? Keep them occupied by sitting them all together in one table, have marshmallows in different shapes as table arrangement, and give them a goody pack with colouring books, toys and puzzles to keep them occupied throughtout the night.
- Provide your guests with miniature bubble bottles and let them blow the bubbles while you are having your first dance. The end result will be beautiful and the photos will look amazing too.
Until next time.
