Your Surrey Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 77)

STARSTRUCK The majority of us are in awe of celebrities, but can you imagine how exciting it would be to have one turn up at your vows? Some famous faces can be booked for personal appearances, so roll out the red carpet and get your camera ready. SPEECHES Speaking in front of friends and family can be nerve-racking, so try mixing it up. Create a funny video for them to watch or learn a few jokes to break the tension. THE WOW FACTOR It’s likely that some attendees won’t know each other. Take advantage of that fact and hire strangers to perform a flash mob. Wait for a quiet moment in the day and liven up the atmosphere with a bit of singing and dancing. DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY More and more couples are going against the traditional first dance and are instead planning a choreographed routine. Whether you choose an iconic performance from a film such as Dirty Dancing or make up your own, it will be great fun learning the steps and something you can relive for years to come. FROM ME TO YOU Giving favours is a long-standing tradition, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative. Use this opportunity to incorporate your theme, interests or colour scheme and wow your friends and family with an impressive gift that they’ll never forget. DELICIOUS TREATS Food is the ideal way of making sure everyone goes home happy. Surprise them with doughnut walls, candy floss, ice cream, gin bars and popcorn machines. 78
