Hundreds and thousands of weddings are held each year. And, so, it’s only natural if, by now, you’re actively seeking ways on how you can personalize your wedding and separate it from the typical weddings you see in movies and magazines. After all, it’s your wedding, and you have every right to plan it your way.
Your wedding can be something that reflects your tastes and favorites, or displays the love story between you and your partner. There are no rules when it comes to adding personal touches to your wedding. But, the question now is, “How and where can you start personalizing your wedding?”
To give you ideas, here are nine fun ways you can add personal touches to your wedding:
- Find Bouquet Alternatives
Normally, a bride holds a wedding bouquet as an integral factor of her wedding look. To shift things up a bit, you can try something a little more untraditional than the typical wedding bouquet. You can negotiate with your chosen wedding flower services to help you come up with another bouquet alternative. Some good ideas can be a small flower lantern or a flower bouquet mixed with balloons.
- Let Your Pet Join The Wedding Entrance
Who says wedding ceremonies are only exclusive for humans? Pets can join the wedding celebration, too, especially if they’ve been a big part of you and your partner’s love story! Include your pet during the wedding day by letting them walk with the children during the entrance ceremony. For a fun touch, you can also let your pet wear a customized wedding costume with a wedding bow or flower crown.
- Provide Special Treatment For The Matchmaker
Some love stories wouldn’t have been made possible if it weren’t for a matchmaker. Now that you and your partner are getting married, you can give that particular matchmaker a special treatment—in the form of a special dining table or a special wedding outfit, among many other options—as a way of saying thank you for their immense help during your courtship days. Once the other wedding guests get curious about that separated special table for the ‘matchmaker,’ this can also be a perfect time to tell the sweet beginnings of your love story during the wedding reception.
- Personalize Bridesmaids’ Bouquets
There are numerous unique wedding bouquet ideas you can try out for your bridesmaids’ bouquets. For instance, instead of the traditional uniform flower bouquets for everyone, you can personalize each bridesmaid’s bouquet by giving them flowers that coincide with their birth month. It’s better to stick to a single color, such as pink roses, pink tulips, or pink peonies.
- Personalize Your Table Numbers
Instead of the usual single paper with a printed number, add a playful touch to it by adding different funny and goofy photo booth strips to all table numbers. This way, you can show off your bond and personality as a couple, and might even become great and funny conversation piece for your wedding guests.
- Show Off Local Delights
If your chosen wedding venue is in a faraway place, where you grew up as a child, you can take pride in your origin state by showing off your local delights. For instance, if you’re from New Orleans, have a separate table filled with different oyster dishes. If you’re from Texas, then a table filled with chili and tacos would look scrumptious.
- Try Out Different Seating
Typically, weddings often use chairs and benches for the ceremony. If you really aspire to try something out of the box, you can go for unique seating options, like floor cushions, ottomans, pouf chairs, bales of hay, or laidback tree stumps. However, make sure your choice of seating will be comfortable for your wedding guests. Moreover, ensure that your chosen seating will fit well with the overall wedding theme.
- Stick To Your Favorite Songs
In traditional weddings, the bride often walks on the aisle with an instrumental music in the background. For a more intimate touch, you may opt to walk down the aisle with your favorite song playing in the background. Better yet, if one of you got the talent for singing, you may choose to sing the song live.
- Set Up A Photo Booth
Another way to provide an extra treat for your guests is by adding a wedding photo booth! Having a photo booth will make it easier for them to take wedding photos and have them as wedding souvenirs, which are keepsakes they’ll surely love. You can also gather all these photos and attach them to their thank you cards for a unique and fun surprise.
Wrapping Up
Whatever you choose to do or add for your wedding day, don’t forget that this day is about celebrating this new milestone—the union between you and your partner. So, don’t sweat the small stuff, be creative and playful with your personal wedding touches, and remember to be in the present moment at all times.
