Weird & Wonderful Wedding Entertainment

Today I get to share with you a fabulous post from Megan Kent of Qwerty Creative about alternative entertainment bars and acts for your wedding day!

Wedding planning can be difficult and it’s just as hard to come up with original ideas. This article aims to give you some inspiration to ensure your big day is as unique as you are.

Your wedding day should always reflect yours and your hubby’s personalities perfectly. With that being said, have a think about what tone you want to set for your day and any themes you want to include. What could you do with the space provided at your venue? Top tip: Pinterest is a great place to start.

OXYGEN BAR

Oxygen bars have become increasingly popular in recent years. They claim that by breathing in 99% pure oxygen, you will be energised, relaxed and  invigorated. Although popular at UK festivals, Oxygen bars are still quite a rare thing to come across at a wedding. Why not start a trend? You can choose from a selection of aroma oils for different scents, tastes and results. How cool is that? I’m sure your guests will be dying to give it a go!

Thinking about a funfair theme?

Want to create a fun-fuelled atmosphere? If you’re envisioning a funfair theme, you can’t go wrong with candyfloss and popcorn machines. They’ll also fit right in if you’re planning a vintage, rustic affair. Iconic sweet treats not only add a quirky element to your day, they are sure to be a winner with little ones too. Make your wedding memorable by filling it with cotton candy, popcorn and magical fairground rides!

You can also search categories for inspiration for weddings such as bridesmaids and venue decor.
