The Best Ways to Wow Your Guests with Details

As wedding planners we LOVE wedding day details! Client’s often ask us what are some details they can incorporate to help wow their guests. See some of our favorite ideas for inspiration below. We also have tons of ideas on our Pinterest here.

Ceremony Details:

This arch was such a beautiful backdrop to Abigail’s ceremony. The ferns with flowers that lined the aisle were a real show stopper! We later repurposed these beautiful details to the reception. We placed the arch behind the head table and lined a beautiful staircase with these ferns. See the stunning images below.

Place Setting Details:

Below are two images with great ceremony details. We love a beautiful charger and it can make all the difference. Menus and personalized name cutouts can make all the difference. A small flower or sprig of greenery goes a long way! We also love these specialty linens. The add a beautiful layer to the table setting.

Paper Products:

Beautiful invitations can make for a great first impression to your guests and for beautiful images. Custom calligraphy can make an even bigger impact on your guests. Custom graphics or paintings can personalize your details even more. This wedding took place on Mackinac Island so the iconic bridge was the perfect statement but often times paintings of a family home or church can make such a statement.

Welcome Bags:

Welcome bags are a great first impression for your guests when they check into their hotel. It’s another great place you can add personalization and include items local to the location of your wedding. The bride loved champagne so each guest got their own bottle as well as the bride’s mom’s famous homemade cookies and spicy bar nuts that were famous from the restaurant she used to be a chef at. Local taffy and a guide to the island helped make guests feel right at home.

Different Desserts:

Wedding cake is delicious and we love that but it’s fun to switch it up or add a secondary dessert to cake. This client chose creme brûlée which was their favorite. Pies, donuts, cookies and ice cream bars are all great ideas we’ve had clients do in the past as well. Pick whatever your favorite is. The more personal the better!

Make a Getaway:

Horse carriages are iconic to Mackinac Island so it was the perfect fit to get the couple around on wedding day. Antique cars or a limo are also great options as well!

Dress Up Your Seat:

Let guests know exactly where you’re sitting by dressing up your seat. A little chiffon or flowers goes a long way and will make a fun focal point for the evening.

Custom Signage:

A custom welcome sign or sign to inform guests throughout the day can make your day even more personal. Dress up your signs with some greenery or flowers to put things over the top!

Mix Up Your Reception Centerpieces:

Incorporating different kinds of candles, fruit, or floral colors and textures can add such dimension to your table. Talk with your florist and your wedding planner, get creative!

Creative Escort Card Alternatives:

This bride sat her guests with their names on each champagne glass in custom calligraphy. Mosaic tiles or custom cookies are also a great way to seat your guests.

Custom Cocktail Napkins:

Mr. & Mrs. cocktail napkins were a fun touch for this client. You can also further customize them with your name or wedding date.

Favors:

Favors are another great way to incorporate some local flare. This client used locally made fudge which the island is famous for in custom boxes. Custom popcorn bags, cookies, and home made treats are all things past guests of our clients have enjoyed!
