Wedding Business Name Generator

1. Do a Competitor Analysis

Doing a competitor analysis as your first step will save you a lot of time in the future, knowing what names to avoid and understanding why and how your competitors business name words for them will help you in forming your own business names. When analyzing competitors think about:

• What business or product values are they conveying in their business name? How does that work for them?
• Is there a trend in how these businesses are naming themselves? It’s best to avoid sounding like “just another one of those businesses”.
• Who does it best? Why does it work and how can I produce a better name?

2. Focus on Naming your Business not Describing it.

A typical pitfall most businesses run into is describing their business name too literally, using overused wedding terms like wedding or marriage. A more effective business name should convey to customers your businesses and product values at a deeper level. Try name your business in a way that has a story behind it.

Let’s take for example a real wedding business named “Our Story Bridal”.

This name lets the happy couple see that the business always puts their love and happiness to the front. Rather than being a cold, money-making business, this sounds more like a company that works hard to make the day incredibly special.

3. How to make a more memorable name

Creating a memorable business name is the first step in getting into a customers mind and is also a task that’s easier said than done. Your business name should aim to stop a customer in their tracks and give an extra thought on your product among your wave of competitors. Some tips to create a memorable name would be:

• Use rhythmic pronunciation or alliteration (Bridal Bliss, Nuptial Needs)
• Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context (Vow – as in the wedding vows that show us it is a permanent union that is being made on the day itself)
• Keep it short and simple.

4. Try purchasing a Brandable business name

Brandable business names are names that are non-sensical but read and are pronounced well. They often use letter patterns of Vowel/Consonant/Vowel as these word structures are typically short, catchy and easy to say and remember. For example, some brandable wedding business names could be:

• Mwah Marriages
• Weddington
• Buzee Brides

5. Avoid combining words just to create a unique name.

Another mistake business owners typically make is creating bad word combinations when they find out that their business name idea is already taken. For example, John names his business Blushing Brides and finds out it’s already taken. Because he’s already decided this is what he’ll name his business he tries to opt for similar sounding names like BlushBrides, BlushingBridal or BridalBlush.

You can see how these ideas are a step backward as they are not catchy, easily pronounceable or memorable. In these situations, we suggest starting from scratch and trying the tips we mentioned previously.
