Thinking of splashing some cash on your wedding day? Look no further.
We’ve put together a list of unique wedding items to splurge on.
A little bit of lavish for a day of loving.
Champagne Tower
You’ve just walked back down the aisle after getting married - what better way to kick off the celebration than by popping a bottle of champagne and watching it cascade down a tower of perfectly arranged glasses. Your guests will love it, your photographer will love it and you’ll be sure to kick off cocktail hour the right way! Ask your wedding planner or venue manager if this can be arranged.
Vintage Transport
Arrive in style with some vintage wedding day transportation. The ride before you walk down the aisle is an exciting one and making your way in the right car will get you ready for cloud nine.
Whether a Volkswagen Kombi fits your vibe or if you’re more of the classic Jaguar type, you won’t regret splashing out on timeless transport. You can even make the most of your wheels for the day by taking your first newly-wed ride right after your ceremony for photos.
Signage & Stationary
Make your mark with custom signage and stationary uniquely designed for you and your partner.
This is an effective way of branding your big day and offering your guests an entry and experience to remember. With custom signage, you’ll get the chance to sprinkle in your personalities throughout the event - even if you’re not in the room.
If you’re not sure where to start we recommend Paper Darling.
Gelato Cart
Gone are the days where traditional catering is the standard. If you’ve got a sweet tooth and are thinking about splurging on your wedding, you will love having a gelato cart on-site.
From refreshing fruit sorbets to sweet gelatos this is a refreshing new take on the conventional dessert your guests will be expecting and gives them the chance to have conversations with new people while waiting in line. We recommend Mister Gelato.
Cocktail Bar
Add your own taste & flare to the bar and enhance the party experience by creating a custom cocktail list. Whether you prefer an Aperol spritz or an espresso martini… Nothing says fancy like a custom cocktail bar.
Add to the experience by personalising the drinks with labels, or even adding a tailored floral display and matching signage. These beauty’s styled by the incredible Sophia from My Waiheke. Let the good vibes roll!
Lighting Design
Light has the ability to completely transform a space from dark and dull to bright and considered. Festoons, pendants, drop bulbs, fairy, spots - there are so many different types and styles which can really set the tone of a room. As a photographer & film-maker we are always impressed when a client has put the time, effort and budget into including lighting in their planning. Here in New Zealand you can’t go past La Lumiere as a supplier - we’ve worked along side their epic team for a number of years now. The images featured in the gallery are La Lumiere’s work.
Furniture Hire
Create a space that brings family & friends together. A fabulous wedding day deserves great spaces, and great spaces are made of carefully curated items. Bar leaners, outdoor sofas, bean bags, large white summer umbrellas, side tables, end tables, mid-century coffee tables… The choices are endless. We recommend getting in touch with the amazing team at Flock for all things furniture.
Live Band
A live band can take your wedding day to the next level. Whether you book a chill acoustic due to accompany cocktail hour or a full on covers band to get the dance floor moving at night - we think a live band is a great way of allocating capital. Check out Find A Band for options.
