A couple of weeks ago we had a week straight of décor consultations with clients. We love these meetings and so do our clients! Since we strive to find elements that most represent our clients, no décor design is the same as the last. One thing however is always the same, they all want the WOW factor.
Your guests are all very different people and therefore the WOW factor can be achieved in many different ways. Whether it be with attention to details and special care such as a beautifully thought out welcome packages for each guest or phenominal décor that takes your breath away, it’s important to always remember that not all people are impressed by the same thing. That’s why we think YOU always need to make the decisions that impress you and your fiance the most.
A WOW factor can come with a big price tag but it can also be relatively inexpensive. We always suggest using the elements that are available to you first. For example, if your venue has an airwall that can be used to divide up the ballroom, this is a perfect way to hide a live band or secret “night club” to be revealed later in the evening.
It’s all about coming up with something that your guests won’t be expecting.
Try to think of the regular activities at a wedding and then think of a way to add some sparkle to it. In a recent wedding, we suggested that the Bride and Groom emerge through a wall of crystal beading, then make their way down a staircase to their first dance. It always requires planning ahead, in the last scenerio for example the coordinators, dj’s and guests all had to be moved and timed perfectly for this to work.
A WOW factor is always an element of surprise, therefor it’s extremely important that the event is organized and coordinated. We always create a detailed, minute by minute, itinerary that is sent out to all vendors. This allows us to ensure that all vendors involved in the surprise know exactly what their role is and when to do it.
