Sponsored by the Fairmont Olympic Hotel

One of the biggest gifts you can give your guests? An unforgettable experience. Impress them with the season's trends in a brand new way, by playing with the five senses. Whether it’s a unique scent or upbeat reggae drums, wow your guests with personal details that'll really set your wedding apart. Andrew Hoge, Director of Celebrations at the storied Fairmont Olympic Hotel knows how to do just that. Below he's outlined his favorite ideas and the best ways to help your guests experience them.

Touch: We love the look of lucite fixtures and décor to spice up your wedding theme. Think beyond the appeal of traditional ghost chairs as this trend expands to incorporate more than just seating. Imagine stands, vases and escort cards that elevate the feel of both modern and traditional venues.

Taste: Integrate local libations into your reception. Feature wine and liquor that are personalized to the couple; perhaps a favorite wine from the bride’s hometown or liquor from the groom’s favorite bar. 

See: Expand your venue’s decor with video mapping and animation (whether it’s on the walls or tables). Go beyond framed photos and infuse your wedding with personal touches using technology that offers a visual experience sure to entertain guests.
