Little luxuries that can make a BIG difference on your wedding day.
We’re not talking about big extravagancies, but those considerate little touches that can transition a wonderful wedding, into an extraordinary one! There are plenty of ways to design an opulent wedding, all whilst keeping your budget under control.
From the elegance of personalised stationary, to personalised cocktails, here are some ideas that add the right amount of affluence without the cost.
Add Personalisation
From your wedding favours to wedding welcome signs, to personalised table numbers – these not only make beautiful keepsakes to remember one of the most important days of your life, but are also very practical for your wedding day. Custom colours and textures will feel luxe and add to the beauty of the décor. The best tip is to combine your place settings with your wedding favours, maybe a little coaster with your guests name on, or a bottle of your favourite shot. Name signs which you can keep forever but also make the perfect decoration for your top table too.

Artificial Flowers
Tip number 2: If you’d like to save on your wedding flowers, artificial is the way to go! Not only do they look beautiful all day, but they’ll look just as good in a vase at home even after the wedding. This way, you’ll have a little keepsake from your wedding day, as will your bridal party!

Venue Dressing
Even the simplest of décor on your wedding day can look extravagant, whether you decide to hire a venue dresser or DIY it yourself. There are so many options to choose! From simplistic centrepieces like candles, to big floral arrangements, lanterns or something personalised like pictures of yourselves throughout the years. Chair covers and sashes, or just Chivari chairs, the possibilities are endless. Keep in theme with your wedding venue and your style and it will all flow nicely. Continuity is classy, giving it that lavish feel.

Improve the ambience with live music
Generally, hiring a live band can cost more than your average DJ. However, hiring a solo artist for an hour during your drinks reception gives you an upscale feel of live music with a much smaller price tag. A Harpist, pianist, violinist or singer will improve the ambience of your wedding.
