help! wow factor inspiration required

If you want something for a sweet tooth, why not have a retro sweets/pick n' mix bar somewhere in the venue. I know a few people on here have done it - and if you have a Macro card its really not that expensive.

Just a thought....

Hey.

This may not be along the lines of what you were thinking of, but the one 'wow' factor that got everyone talking at my wedding was the flowers. We had a similar colour scheme to you....choc brown, ivory, gold and a kinda champagney colour. BUT, our flowers were all burnt orange. Really stood out and EVERYBODY commented on how lovely they were.

We also had a string quartet play for the drinks reception, and throughout the meal. We were also really lucky with the weather so had them playing outside too, and again, had such lovely comments from people saying it just added something extra.

Apologies for the massiveness of the picture!

Tanks for the replies, orange flowers do look amazing but bridesmaid dresses do have pink in them so i don't thik the orange would go! your pic looks stunning!

have thought about a candy bar .... maybe a choc bar tho mmmmmmm

any more ideas

hxx

D'oh, should've explained myself better......clearly, orange flowers may look a little odd with your colours! Just meant you could go for brighter flowers (in your case, pink?).

My head is all fuddled....i don't even think i'm making sense anymore!?

Thats what marriage has done for ya, mazzy ?

Nona, clearly you've forgotten every other conversation we've ever had?! I never make sense!

Silly me! i am going to see my florist next week and will ask her her opinion on how best to make my flowers wow people! x

i LOVE the bus! its great.

i'm loving all of the ideas, h2b does too ....

We had crystal bouquets and buttonholes instead of flowers, a croquembouche as wedding cake which was also used as the dessert.

People also commented on our horse and carriage and ice sculpture as well as the casino, Wonka Bar favours and balloon release that was done.

Spamanda - where did you get the wonka bars? they are FAB!!!!!

They were from sugar spun sister but they have stopped trading at the moment but I think there is someone on Ebay doing them and also www.personaliseyourwedding.co.uk

HTH

What about dance lessons and wow everyone with your first dance... we have had lessons and have had great fun, very nervous about doing it though. The moves aren't very dramatic just some tango and foxtrot steps!!

Casino tables?
