It is all very well seeking ideas from Instagram and
Pinterest, and we actively encourage our clients to do so, however, why not
step away from all the ‘latest trends’ and create a day that is exclusively
about you and your partner. Here are some suggestions to help you create a
completely unique wedding.
If you have decided to have readings during your Ceremony
why not take inspiration from your favourite children’s book, or maybe a much-loved
poem. And consider writing your own vows where you can include promises that
mean the most to the two of you.
When selecting your music, choose particular songs that
evoke certain memories, or that even make you laugh. Are you a huge Disney fan,
or is there a classic pop song that people would associate with you? Think
outside the box.
Choosing your drinks is also a great chance to express
your individualism. Have you got a favourite drink that everyone knows you
love? Maybe a Cosmopolitan, or a particular cider is your tipple of choice.
Your guests will love these individual touches.
When deciding upon favours, you could take each guest and
think of something that is personal to them. Is there a private joke between
you that you can use as a little gift? If one of your guests is known for
loving a certain type of crisp, for example, you could put a bag of them on
their seat. You can guarantee that your guests will enjoy both your humour and
thoughtfulness.
Speeches also offer the perfect opportunity to get really
personal. You can share your memorable moments with your guests, and the funny
little oddities which made you fall head over heels for your partner. Having
the traditional Father of the Bride, Groom and Best Man speeches means that
every angle of your lives together can be captured. It is now more and more
common that the Bride or a bridesmaid will speak too.
If you are very creative, you can use your skills to
design your own ‘wedding brand’. This could be a symbol or image that you can
print on all your stationary from the invitations to the name places and table
plan. You could add objects to your flower arrangement, or even onto your cake,
which can all tie into one specific design. If you love pineapples, for
example, you can find a print that you love which shouts tropical, or if
butterflies are your thing, why not find a species that matches your colour
theme and go from there.
