For some, it can be a great excuse to have a party every second weekend. But if you’re getting married it can also be extremely stressful to make sure that your wedding is going to stand out from the crowd.
Weddings should be about you and your partner. Whether you’re having a traditional wedding, boho theme or even going down the alternative route, making your wedding feel like you can make it even more special.
Thankfully, there are so many services that you can hire if you are looking for alternative wedding ideas. Whether it’s selecting a specific venue or choosing more personalised details, you can make your day both magical and unforgettable.
1. Entertainers in general

Whether it’s a magician, acrobat, poet, painter or portrait caricatures, there are plenty of ways to entertain your guests at your wedding. Not only does this take the pressure off you to make sure that everyone is having fun, but it can also be a great way to collect fun and fresh keepsakes of your perfect day.
You can even hire mobile stages for your day that can be used by different types of entertainers so there’s no end to how creative you can be with your entertainment.
2. Light up letters
Fairy lights and tea light candles have had a makeover, with the latest wedding and decor trend being festoon lighting. These larger lighting features will give your wedding a warm glow and are particularly suited to boho and rustic themes, or any theme with an outdoor setting.
From draped festoon lights across your marquee to larger festoon features scattered throughout the wedding, use these if you want to add to the magical feel of your day and get some gorgeously lit photos.

3. Animals
It’s your wedding day, and you don’t just want to look good, but you want to look a bit different than what you do day to day!
When shopping for your wedding day outfit, consider what colours, styles or patterns you usually wear. You want to be able to find the perfect balance between something that is suited to your personality, and something that will also give you that wedding WOW factor. Whether it’s a strapless dress that you wouldn’t usually wear or a bowtie when you’re often wearing a necktie.
