A Quick List of Worthwhile Wedding Extras
There are tons of worthwhile wedding extras, but every little thing costs more money. But even on a tight budget, there are some things that will make your day extra special and, therefore, worth it. From professional hair and makeup to making a visual impact, here are some ideas.
Ways to Capture the Event
Getting married is scary, exciting and fun all at the same time. During the honeymoon period, you will want to reflect on the ceremony, reception and your future together. After the big day, some say that most post-wedding joy comes from how their story was told on screen with video and photography. A professional wedding videographer and an expert photographer can make a huge difference in how the treasured memories of one of the most special days are captured.
Expert Hair and Makeup
Looking your best on the day you are to be married is one of the biggest concerns for most women, and indeed men. However, it really does help to have an expert come and dress your hair and apply makeup so you look stunning all day, and it can be a long day! Additionally, professionally-applied makeup can help you look even better for photos and videos, so this ties in neatly as a companion extra for the above. Just make sure you put on the dress first!
Novelty Wedding Extras
Whether you choose a traditional and classic wedding theme or something more outlandish, fun extras can make the day memorable for you and the guests. When everyone is happy, you only have fun and avoid wedding day stress that can bring you down. Now, there are around 250,000 weddings in the UK alone, and you can bet a good chunk of them aren’t that great! So, how about an all-day BBQ and grill, a photo booth or even a relaxing chillout gazebo?
Elaborate Centrepieces and Flowers
Making a visual impact is one of the more striking ways to make your special day memorable. As soon as guests walk through the door, they must be transported from the outside world and into the magic of the day. Elaborate centrepieces for the venue can take up space, but are well worth it if you can include them. Examples include fountains and ice sculptures. Of course, no wedding is complete without expert bouquets on tables, on the walls and all around the room!
Professional Live Entertainment
Entertaining is pretty hard when you are getting married, and it’s just another task you need to worry about. Although after the wedding jitters and the ceremony, it becomes much easier. In the meantime, live entertainment is a great way to help people (and yourself) loosen up and begin to enjoy the day. You can break the ice with some stand-up comedy, followed by a rock band. Then, later on, there’s nothing quite like a live DJ when everybody is a little drunk!
Summary
Capturing the event with video and photography are great examples of worthwhile wedding extras that make the day special. Novelty fun, such as a photo booth, can provide some extra fun for guests. However, there’s nothing quite like live entertainment to make a day special.
