DIY or totally glamorous. Your wedding is a lot like the Academy Awards.
Here’s 10 things that you can do to create the Oscar experience for you and your guests.
- Arrive in style
You can drive a vintage car, a limo, a limo bus, or a trolley. This is the funnest ride you will ever have.
- Flaunt that dress
Step out and own that dress. Swoosh it, move it, spin in it, jump up in the air. All Night Long.
- Have a swag bag for all the presenters
Special guests, all your VIPs. Put together something they can use, with something they’ll remember.
- Walk the Red Carpet, Smile for the camera
You’ve arrived, the cameras are flashing. Put on your best smile. Pose, be natural. They love you, and so does the camera. (and get it on video with memorable style: http://www.chicagocinematicweddings.com)
- Have a really great MC (like your Chicago Wedding DJ)
Someone to guide you through the night. Someone to keep things moving. Someone to follow your script/plan.
- Honor the past
There might be people that can’t be there. Remember them in your heart. And have a walk of remembrance from the door to your seats, with pictures and moments of loved ones, and moments from the past that brought you here.
- Award the nominees with the best performance
You are the stars. Shine some of your light on the rest of your fellow celebrants. Say/Do something nice for them.
- Start with a bang
The second the curtain goes up and you walk into the room. It’s got to be fun for you, and the crowd will go wild.
- Keep it moving
There’s nothing so bad as an awards event that goes on too long. Don’t have your event go on forever. End it so you feel like you have partied hard, but never want it to stop.
- End with a big surprise
When everyone thinks it’s over, give them One More Thing. And make it magical, out of this world.
When you plan your wedding with Academy Award style elements, you’ll express your style and give your guests something that makes them say “Wow!”.
And the Oscar goes to….
You and your guests!
