It’s important that your wedding day is as personal and special for you and your partner as possible.
A few simple elements will ensure your special day is unlike any other. Here are a few small but truly unique ways to personalise your celebration of love.
Create A Bespoke Ring
A ring, specially created to your tastes, is one of the most sentimental elements you can incorporate into your ceremony. There are tones of bespoke jewellery designers who will assist you when it comes to creating beautiful custom rings. Creating a design together is a wonderful symbol of your time together and the new journey you are about to embark on.
Personalise Those Little Details
Little details such as a fabulously fun cake topper are a great way to add character. Online platforms such as Etsy are full of creative suppliers and designers waiting to take custom orders. If you and your partner are huge Marvel fans, a superhero themed topper is seriously cool. Or a simple Mr and Mrs in glitter is really fashionable for the trendy bride.
Signature Cocktail Station
When the ceremony is over, guests generally congregate for nibbles and chit chat. Instead of serving the standard Mimosa or Champagne flute, create a signature cocktail each and have these set out on a pop-up bar. Be sure to include your favourite flavours and perhaps put out a little explanation about your beverage of choice. Maybe gin was the first drink you got merry on together 😉
It’s All About DIY Darling!
More and more couples are ditching the professionals in favour of creating their own floral arrangements or wedding cake. Savvy DIY divas will save a huge chunk of change and these personal touches incorporate a sweet homemade element to the day.
Don’t worry about any dreaded DIY disasters, all you should care about is the love and effort put into making them. You can go wild creating the exact vision you are lusting after, with no one to answer to. Check out Oh Me, Oh My DIY on Instagram for lots of DIY wedding inspiration.
Choose A Theme
Is there a particular era, movie or style you both love? Take inspiration from this as a theme for your big day. You don’t have to go overboard by asking guests to dress in costume, instead you could use subtle references such as naming tables after popular scenes of the movie or perhaps apply the style to your wedding stationery. The Great Gatsby is a popular choice for many bride and grooms, as the glamorous era lends itself to elegant décor and glitzy outfit choices.
Include Your Loved Ones
You could choose the same flowers your Mum carried down the aisle, stitch a piece of your dad’s shirt to the inside of your dress or incorporate a traditional family dish into the meal as a surprise on the day. Another popular touch is placing wedding photos of both sets of parents on the cake stand.
