Petals for your Processional or Recessional

The wedding ceremony is one of the highlights of your day, and involving your guests in key moments can create a memorable exit and fantastic photo opportunities. Simple and cost-effective, a petal toss as you walk down the aisle is a wonderful addition to your celebration.

You can place the petals at the entrance of the ceremony or on the aisle seats. When your guests arrive, they can grab the petals and take them to their seats, eagerly awaiting the special moment. As you make your grand entrance as newlyweds your guests can toss the petals creating a stunning movie moment. Another great option, if you already have a flower girl, is to have the guests toss petals as you and your spouse leave the reception.

Wedding Reception Audio Guest Book

Guest books have always been a staple at weddings. However, with limited space, it can be challenging for guests to leave heartfelt messages. A perfect solution is to opt for an audio guest book instead! These elegant phones can record hours of messages and be custom tailored to your wedding theme. BVTLive! and On It Productions offers an audio guest book enhancement for their brides and grooms. Our audio guest book is state of the art, and will take the recordings of your guests and save the audio files on an SD card. We export the files and then provide you with a lasting keepsake of your guests’ heartfelt messages.

Audio guest books allow you to relive the heartfelt words of your loved ones for years to come. Plus, the recordings can be shared with your videographers to be included in your wedding video!

Enhance Your Wedding Exit

The newlywed exit is a classic tradition, but enhancing the moment with sparklers or bubbles adds a magical touch, creating beautiful photos and invites guest participation! Sparklers are an amazing way to create a cinematic scene, lighting up the sky—and you—as you make your exit. Bubbles are also a wonderful, safer, and less messy alternative that allows the kids to join in the fun, too! No matter which you choose, the result will be worth it, and the photos will be stunning!

Reception Photo Booths for your Wedding

Photo booths for weddings are a fantastic way to create lasting memories and keepsakes for you and your guests! Setting up a small table with a scrapbook and some pens is an easy way to preserve the pictures your guests take, along with a few words of love beside them. It also allows for guests to loosen up and connect with one another in a fun new way!

On It Productions offers four unique photo booth options, so you can choose the one that best fits your wedding theme!

  • Classic Photo Booth: Combines a traditional design with modern enhancements. It has a user-friendly touch screen for guests to preview their photos before printing and utilizes a DSLR camera for high-resolution images.

Coordinated Wedding Attire for Guests

One of the simplest ways to include all your guests in the celebration is by providing a dress code on your wedding invitations. While it’s a straightforward idea, it not only encourages everyone to participate but also comes at no cost! Allowing your guests to wear what they feel comfortable in, ensures they can move freely and enjoy themselves when it’s time to hit the dance floor. Whether that be length or style of dresses, style of suit or tuxedo, or of course, a specific color palette!

An added bonus is the elegance your pictures will have after the wedding! With all your guests in similar colors or styles, you’ll create a sense of cohesiveness that will ensure your photos look amazing!

Wedding Guest Photo Op

Making rounds to see all your guests—and take pictures with each of them—can be nearly impossible and incredibly time-consuming. However, when you receive your wedding albums, you’ll want to know you have a picture with everyone who came to support you on your wedding day.

A simple way to connect with everyone and get photos is by doing table visits before dinner and speeches. This guarantees that you can greet all your guests and get a photo with each of them. Another great option, that saves even more time, would be to take a group shot with all the guests at your wedding at one time! Not only does everyone get a photo, but the result will be amazing. This personal touch will make every guest feel included and will give everyone a lasting memory to look back on.
