5 Ways to Make Your Wedding Feel Luxury!
Your wedding day is a milestone you’ll cherish forever, and it’s equally important that your guests share in this unforgettable experience. For us at Bethany Faber Events, our focus extends beyond just creating a wonderful day for you and your partner. We place great importance on the overall experience of your guests, ensuring that they too have an enjoyable and memorable time. The most standout weddings are those that offer something distinct and memorable. Whether it’s through intentional little touches or grand gestures, there are countless ways to enhance the experience for your guests.
So, let’s dive into my top 5 strategies to elevate and make your wedding feel luxury! Ensuring it’s not just special for you, but for everyone who joins in your celebration. Here are my favorite ways to make every Tulsa wedding a luxury wedding!
Ambient Lighting
Lighting is essential in establishing the perfect atmosphere for your event. It offers a transformative effect with minimal cost, proving its value in setting the mood. From pin-spot lighting that accentuates centerpieces and brings them to life, to upwash lights that bathe the space in warmth, creating an intimate ambiance, the options are vast. Lighting ensures that every detail is enhanced, leaving no stone unturned in elevating the overall experience of your event.
Curated Entertainment Beyond the Dance Floor
A fantastic DJ or band is essential for a lively wedding, but why not take your entertainment up a notch? Introduce live performers like a jazz trio, a magician, or even a fire dancer during cocktail hour to mesmerize your guests. Such performances not only add an element of surprise but also keep the energy high and guests engaged throughout the evening. Daniel Morris, seen below, wowed guests at the Williams’ Philbrook wedding with his violin talents for the ceremony and cocktail hour! One of my favorite guest entertainment was a face painter for a halloween weekend wedding! It truly brought the kid out in everyone and the guests had a blast getting their face painted by Wonder Works Tulsa!
Interactive and Personalized Details
Don’t be basic! Ditch the standard paper escort cards and opt for something more engaging and personal. Imagine your guests finding their seats through personalized ornaments or miniature flower vases with their names on them. These not only guide them to their tables but also serve as charming keepsakes. Or think of ways that you can incorporate quotes or details into your signage and place settings that are a nod to a favorite hobby or location that you and your significant other met! The uniqueness of this approach sets the tone for the evening, highlighting attention to detail and personalization.
A Twist on Cocktail Hour and Late Night Snacks
Begin and conclude your wedding with unforgettable and unique elements that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. For the cocktail hour, why not set up interactive stations? Picture a specialty drink station complete with a skilled mixologist from Fig & Foundry creating custom beverages, complete with playful foam or wafer logos tailored to your event. Or, imagine the charm of a live cigar roller. Then, as the evening winds down, surprise your guests one final time with a perfect late-night snack from a local favorite. Your favorite fast food, pizza, or .
Intimate and Inviting Layout
Instead of the usual array of round or rectangular tables, why not design a layout that echoes the cozy ambiance of a chic restaurant or a stylish lounge? This can be achieved by selecting an assortment of curated lounge furniture, adding table lamps for a soft glow, and embellishing the space with decorative pillows and blankets. Upgraded chairs can further enhance the comfort and style. This approach not only breaks away from the typical wedding or event format but also provides your guests with a memorable and uniquely comfortable experience. Go look at high end luxury weddings and you will see a room with not just the same tables and chair used for every table but a mixture of round, square and rectangle tables and different chair styles that coordinate. If you don’t have the budget to get furniture for different chairs than what your venue provides, try simply incorporating round ables and long tables round the room!
