Your wedding is your special day. For many, it’s also one of the few times in your life you’ll be able to throw a massive bash that’s pulled straight out of a movie. The good news is that a few finishing touches can transform any wedding at any budget and take it to the next level, so let’s get into them:

Extend Your Day
Your wedding is a big day, but it’s still just a day. The best way to make that day last is to choose the extended option. Top wedding venues allow you to start your day early, often as far as 9am for an evening wedding. By extending your time (and even service), you extend how many seconds, minutes, hours you have of the best day of your life.
Treat Yourself in the Suite
Getting ready with your bridesmaids or groomsmen takes up a considerable chunk of the day, and while there’s a lot of food and sweet things on the horizon, it is essential that you still have breakfast and stay hydrated to have the best day possible. That’s why you’ll want to upgrade your wedding experience with sweet treats like a charcuterie board, fresh fruit, or even English tea sandwiches.
Provide Caffeine
Weddings come with a lot of food and drink, so if you want your guests to be up and active and partying the night away after the fact, you must offer caffeine. You can go all out with a luxury cappuccino and espresso table, or keep things simple, depending on your budget, the caterer, and the venue.
Choose Showstopper Décor
Showstopper décor is one of the best ways to add flair and interest to your big day. It’s going to look fantastic in photos that will last a lifetime, be a huge talking point, and offer more visual intrigue, transforming any space into a fairytale getaway. Options include showstopper flowers, ice sculptures, and more.
Add Interactive Activities
Weddings are the perfect time to get people silly and have fun, so make sure that you add fun, interactive activities. This can range from casino tables (even if there’s no real money on the table) to photo books to even arcade/fun fair games. These are the experiences that you and every one of your guests will have an absolute ball doing, and they’ll also make the backdrop for some enjoyable candid photos (or even be a source of fun photos themselves!).
Offer Late-Night Food
Another food recommendation is to bring on a second meal for the end of the night. People will have drunk a lot and danced even more, so they’ll be famished. The best way to keep everyone in good spirits and feeling good, too, is to bring on a late-night food option. This can be something fun, like a street Taco station or a smashed potato bar. Carb-heavy is preferred.
There are so many talented, creative people and teams out there ready to help you bring your wedding to a whole other level, at practically any budget. Being creative, thinking outside the box, and adding those extras that make every second more special are going to be worth it, so start workshopping!
