Beach Wedding Decorations – Wow Factors

Welcome to our video series of the top 20 questions brides ask when planning their wedding.  Our topic today will be Creating the WOW Factor.  I get asked this question a lot.  “How do I create a WOW factor for my wedding?”

Follow along the video with the transcript below:

I guess the best place to start is to figure out what a WOW factor is!  When was the last time you experienced something and said WOW.  That’s a WOW factor, and chances are it was something UNEXPECTED or something OUTSTANDING.

Every WOW factor is either UNEXPECTED or OUTSTANDING in some way.  But when you put UNEXPECTED and OUTSTANDING together, that really creates an extreme WOW factor.

So how do you create a WOW factor for your wedding?  Simple.  Do something UNEXPECTED or do something OUTSTANDING.  Wow factors can be extreme, funny, or subtle, depending on your personality—and it SHOULD reflect your personality as a couple.

Want a WOW factor?  Do something UNEXPECTED at your wedding:  maybe a butterfly release at the end of the ceremony or a special dance at your reception is unexpected.  Maybe the UNEXPECTED is a grand location, or a funny wedding theme. 

Or, maybe you want to create your WOW factor by doing something in an OUTSTANDING way.  At a wedding, the OUTSTANDING usually comes in the form of decoration or flowers.  Sometimes OUTSTANDING comes in the form of true hospitality by the hosts of the party, so the guests leave feeling WOW’ed.

Whatever you choose to do to create your WOW factor, just remember:  do something UNEXPECTED or do something OUTSTANDING.  It can be extreme, funny, or subtle—but it should reflect who you are as a couple to your guests.

Your wedding celebration is about sharing who you are with your guests.  Be creative, and have fun with it.  Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
