Creating a unique wedding day that sets you apart from the crowd has become the ever-increasing challenge for couples getting set for their big day.
And with so many novelty entertainment ideas it’s easy to get lost amongst the choice.
With the cost of being a guest at a wedding soaring more and more people are looking for an extra experience to make it all worthwhile.
That’s where wedding mirrors and photo booths come in. They are probably one of the hottest growing trends of the bridal world right now and rightly so.
Selfie mirrors and photo booths like those available at WeAreLumina.co.uk not only create a talking point for guests as well as encouraging them to let their hair down and have fun but each guest can leave with a special momento of their night.
What’s great about booking a wedding mirror or photo booth is that you aren’t reliant on guests creating their own fun. Some people can be a little shy about relaxing and letting go. But when you add props and large booths and the excitement around them people feel much better about posing for funny pictures or having fun with their friends.
So what exactly are you paying for when you book a selfie mirror or photo booth? Let us explain:
Piggy backing on the growing trend for updating social media with selfies and fun pictures capturing the big day, a Wedding Mirrors make the whole experience more of a group activity rather than a one-person activity. Guests can have fun chatting, discussing and laughing about what their next “update” might be.
At the minute the Selfie Mirror is currently the most advanced mobile digital photography experience available in Ireland. Being unique and new to the market place means your guests will be naturally drawn towards it.
So how does it work?
Behind the full length mirror there is customisable, state of the art photo booth technology which allows you to add graphics and branding to each picture taken.
In fact, these wedding mirrors are so sophisticated your guests can operate them with their gestures and even the volume of their voice.
On top of that there’s a unique function that allows your guest to autograph their own image by writing on the screen with their finger.
And by the end of it, each guest will have their own A5 photographic print to take home.
What’s the user experience?
As guests approach the selfie mirror they will see their own reflection just like a normal full length mirror. On approach pre-defined elements will appear on screen which will then invite the user to “touch the mirror”.
Once the wedding mirror has been activated guests will see a customised message and a countdown before 1-4 pictures will be taken.
Finally guests are presented with their own printed pictures and then they are added to an online gallery and shared directly to social media using your personal pre defined hashtags.
The thing about the Selfie Pod is that unlike a standard photo booth you might see in a shopping centre it’s small and compact in size. It doesn’t take over a room but does attract guests to it with its slick design and fun element.
Once in the photo booth there are four backgrounds to choose from and a range of custom prints to give your pictures an element of fun and vibrancy.
So how does it work?
Inside the Selfie Pod is the most up to state state of the art photographic technology which can be customised to incorporate imagery, logos, frames or even images of products.
Using touch screen technology the Selfie Pod is fully interactive. Being easy to use and lots of fun means your guests will flock to get their own memento from your big day. The on-screen options will also allow them to create unique pictures and custom gifs and will produce an A5 photographic print at the end of their experience.
Just like the Selfie Mirror the Selfie Pod will give guests the option to upload their chosen pictures or gifs to social media.
So, when it comes to booking your wedding entertainment think just a little outside the box because gone are the days of simply consuming content or entertainment, with increased expectations people have a thirst for interactive entertainment that gives them the ability to determine the narrative of their own entertainment.
Multisensory experiences are now a huge part of event management plans, ensuring that guests and invitees are being engaged and their attention being held throughout the event.
These activities act as great stop gaps between the ceremony and dinner to keep guests occupied or can help to add to the magic of the night time entertainment.
But it’s not just weddings that people are booking the Selfie Mirror and Selfie Pod for. One Northern Ireland woman used the Selfie Mirror to propose to her partner.
Tracie and her partner Nathan were enjoying the Wedding Mirror with friends when she jumped in first to write a message “Nathan, will you marry me?” in front of their shocked friends. Of course he said “yes” and the couple are hoping to have some wedding mirror fun at their own big day.
In the last year local company Lumina have provided Selfie Mirror and Selfie Pods to over 200 couples on their wedding day and taken thousands of photos of fun-filled nights and created a whole host of special memories for the guests, Bride and Groom every time.
