7 Wedding Details that'll Add a Luxury Finish to your Big Day
A lot of the more elaborate décor elements can't easily be replicated on a ‘normal-person’ budget, but they can spark an idea of something that is possible. Here we share some ideas that will give your big day the edge.
Decorate the wedding chairs
Do something special to the chairs you and your guests will sit on during the reception. Not sure what to do? Our amazing wedding stylist Pretty Events Co. has an abundance of fresh ideas that will take your bog-standard venue chair & turn it into something truly elegant and co-ordinated with your theme.
Candles, everywhere
There’s something magical about the flicker of candlelight. Bring a touch of magic to your celebration by using tea lights and pillar candles to create safe displays that’ll also add warmth and depth to your reception.
Hire a speciality food/drink station
An Ice Cream tricycle, a donut wall, a Prosecco caravan? Choosing some unique wedding ideas for your reception will certainly give your big day a luxury finish. We are so pleased to have the guys at Treats on a Tricycle here at the centre! They are experts in giving your big day a vintage touch by parking the cute bike or retro caravan at your venue, and serving ice cream to your guests all day!
Incorporate a subtle theme
We’re talking spray-painted pineapples, leaf place-settings complete with handwritten names, vibrant table centres… There’s something about the tropical theme (when done the right way, of course) that adds an instant splash of ‘wow’ to any celebration. Or maybe go for 1920s? Dress up your venue in a Great Gatsby style and wow your guests with themed cocktails and music from the era!
Serve up mid-evening snacks
There’s nothing worse than feeling hungry at a wedding reception, especially when there’s no food in sight. Serve up a snack table of comforting, delicious food that your guests will devour. Just make sure you manage to get some, too!
Have a last dance
You had your first dance, sure; so why not have a last dance to round-off the night in sophisticated style? Ask your DJ to call your remaining guests to the floor and have a final twirl to your favourite song. A sophisticated way to round off any celebration! Or… get all of your guests out of the room and have a moment just for the two of you!
Invite your guests in style
Some might say that your wedding day starts with the ‘Save the Date’! That may be a little extreme but it certainly sets the tone and style for your big day, so getting it right is key if you want that luxury finish. ByBlossom are true experts in the wedding stationery, from invites and table plans to place-cards and menus. They can give your wedding stationery that luxury finish you’ve been dreaming of!
Taking your wedding day to the next level, those luxury finishing touches don’t have to break the bank. With planning and discussing with the right people (i.e. The Kent Wedding Centre…!) you can create a look that is not only special and unique to you, but also magical for your guests.
