  1. Location, location, location

You can get that jaw-dropping effect you are looking for by choosing a unique and dramatic setting for your wedding day. Some exciting locations you may wish to consider are mountain tops, vineyards or natural and untouched coastlines.

  1. Choose an unusual venue

Traditional wedding venues are chosen by couples time and time again for a reason; they are classic and beautiful. However, there are a number of more unusual venue options that are just as stunning as the traditional ones. A wedding in a lighthouse, zoo or museum will certainly help to create a unique day that will have a lasting effect on you and your guests.

  1. Go off with a bang

One guaranteed way to take your guest’s breath away is to organize a fireworks display during your wedding day. Stores like Dynamite Fireworks have a great range of products that will give your wedding that wow-factor. For extra effect, don’t tell any of your guests about the display and watch their faces light up as they experience this surprise.

  1. Have an evening wedding

Most weddings take place during the day. However, you could do something unexpected and hold the ceremony and reception in the evening. Imagine an outdoor ceremony at sunset with an abundance of candles lighting the area. This creates a very romantic and beautiful effect.

  1. Wear something unexpected

Just because the dress and suit aren’t strictly traditional, doesn’t mean they won’t be as beautiful and eye-catching. Wedding dresses with a little color are starting to take off. This year, blush wedding dresses are predicted to be popular. The groom can also have fun with his attire, trying out different colors, material, and patterns.

  1. Make it personal

The more of your personality you inject into your wedding day, the more it will stand out for you and your guests. From the invitations to the table numbers, add your individuality as much as possible with photographs, handmade items, and personal messages.

  1. Entertainment

Another great part of your wedding for the wow factor is the entertainment. Instead of a DJ or traditional wedding band, choose something quirky like a funk band or steel band. You may also wish to provide extra entertainment for your guests. Dancers, magicians, and comedians are some examples. Ice breaker games at each dinner table is a great way for your guests to have a giggle while getting to know each other.

When it comes to organizing a wedding with the wow factor, it’s all about thinking outside the box. Have fun and be creative!
