A concert
How cool would it be to have a vocalist do a very short performance between cocktail hour and dinner at your wedding? Maybe 3 songs or so, 10-15 minutes maximum. But really cool amazing songs that everyone could watch and enjoy. Something like At Last by Etta James, Crazy Love by Brian McKnight and You and I by Michael Buble. I would just fall in love all over again. So romantic and unexpected.
Excessive Flowers
I'm talking adding floral focus points just because. I do not mean centerpieces on the dinner tables. I mean add tables just so they can have flowers on them. Big gigantic flower arrangements that make everyone go, "Ooooohhh, that is gorgeous"

Wouldn't you agree that calligraphy just makes everything that much prettier, polished, and decadent? I would add calligraphy to everything if I could. Not just envelopes, escort cards and place cards. I'd do menus, vows, invitations, welcome letters, programs, maps, display cards/signs...
Amuse Bouche & Wine
One of the reasons I love my favorite restaurant is that when we are seated, we are immediately served an amuse bouche and a 2 sip pour of wine or champagne. I feel so fancy and special
Dinner Ushers
This is really over the top, but how cool would it be to have someone greet each of your guests at the entrance of your wedding dinner, escort them to their seats and hand them a beautiful menu (with calligraphy of course).

Even with the simplest of dinners, when a chef describes his creation, you are immediately taken to a place where you just can't wait to enjoy the flavors. How fascinating would it be to have the chef come out between courses and describe what you're about to dine on? Suddenly Chicken Piccata is the most gourmet mouth watering dish you've ever wanted to experience.
Again, over the top and splurges. But you know, we all can dream can't we?
