Every bride wants to make her wedding unique and inimitable... but how can you stand out from the crowd? Besides themed weddings, photo booths (a specially designed photo booth stocked with unusual accessories, both modern and vintage, such as retro frames, mustaches, hats, and extravagant glasses), and whimsical wedding favors, what can you do to ensure that all your guests remember your special day forever?
Here are 10 original ideas for a fun wedding:
1) 3D participations…
Impress your guests from the very first invitation: A DVD containing a 3D film that talks about your love and your special event!
Alternatively, for the more classic, paper invitations like children's books with three-dimensional paper figures... Ready to take a dip into childhood!?
2) Surprise location!
A sort of location hunt for all the guests… The identification of the party location through a personalized QR code that will give a “mysterious” touch to your day.
3) Wedding on a barge on a lake
If you love the water, getting married on a barge on a lake is definitely a unique choice. This location can be decorated in a variety of ways, from flowers on the water to "railing"-style floral decorations.
4) Live streaming of the wedding:
For distant friends and relatives… what a disappointment it would be not to be able to attend your ceremony?
So, all you need to do is live stream! How do you do it? Here's what you need: a video camera, an audio recorder, an encoder that takes the incoming audio and video streams and creates the digital stream (the stream) at the output, an internet connection, and a media server (streaming platform) capable of managing and broadcasting the stream. Thus, with the help of professionals, it will be easy to hear the vows and be moved "online" along with your guests.
5) Wedding in a cave
A unique atmosphere and a truly unforgettable location. Ideal for an intimate ceremony. A way to unite guests around the bride and groom, and perfect for those who want to create romantic light effects during the moment of saying "I do."
6) The witnesses and the spouses… the story of their friendship!
This is an idea that helps remind the groomsmen and the bride and groom of their friendship! Have your friends recount the moments you shared together...from your first meeting to special events, graduation, and vacations abroad. You'll be pleasantly surprised to see how far you've come together! It would be even better if you could project photos and videos onto a screen using a video projector! If you're part of the new generation of video makers with iPads and smartphones, you can create fun video clips in the style of a double interview: success is guaranteed!
7) Personalized drinks
If you want to leave a truly unforgettable impression, have professional bartenders create special cocktails for the occasion. Or, alternatively, you could serve drinks themed to the wedding. For example, if your chosen color is green, you could offer drinks like Japanese Ice Tea, Mojito, Bora Bora, Christmas Sour, and so on... Of course, don't forget to do some thorough tastings first, perhaps with your partner. It's sure to prove tempting and a lot of fun.
8) Video mapping for the wedding film
3D is a widely used technique for 21st-century films but still not widely used for wedding videos. For the more extravagant, video mapping (a new frontier in art and technology that involves projecting computer-generated "images" onto real surfaces, achieving spectacular 3D projection effects) is certainly a solution for making the video of your big day memorable.
9) Personalizing the wedding…for your guests.
Create a wedding website… Offer guests a variety of menu options, allowing them to choose from a variety of dishes. For example, the first course could be fish-based, the second meat-based, and the third vegetarian. Guests will be free to choose their favorites, avoiding waste and empty stomachs! This is only possible if the number of guests is 50 or fewer and the wedding has a youthful, informal tone.
10) And finally… back to tradition!
A buffet of traditional desserts, obviously themed... For example, during the Christmas holidays, you could set up a banquet with all the seasonal sweets in endless variations: classic panettone, pistachio, almond, orange and cinnamon, mint and chocolate, and so on!
Have fun organizing your special day… Make it unique, romantic, and unforgettable.
