You’re obviously aiming to do it just once, so of course it’s always a special day for the couple involved. But, equally, there are plenty of things you can do to make your wedding unique and distinctive so that your guests remember it for all the right reasons.
Understandably, this can seem challenging, and with so many ideas from which to take your pick, where do you even start? The common theme uniting all of them, though, is personalisation, and making your wedding truly your own.
Possible options include embroidered napkins, 3D wedding stationery or turning your invite and/or order of service or menu into a wedding newspaper. Include a cute story about how you met, with photos and biographies of the key players at your wedding.
Equally, the bridesmaids’ dresses don’t have to be all in the same colour – think about mixing and matching to have different but complementary shades.
Other ideas include a donut wall rather than the traditional wedding cake, a champagne tower, sharing boards for the evening reception, an on-site cartoonist and giving your tables quirky names. Personalised drink options could include the wine you had on your first date, the champagne with which you toasted your engagement, or a wedding cocktail which has been specially created for the occasion.
How to make wedding flowers special
Weddings are one of the great flower occasions, with floral displays adding gorgeous colours, delicate fragrance and romance. Some great ideas include:
- Aisle flowers, whether they’re in colours or neutral shades, will enhance the beauty of the occasion, while adding to your overall style for the ceremony room.
- If you’re marrying in a church you could decorate the entrance, thus creating the perfect photo opportunity.
- Wedding arches are always stunning, and can really add to an outdoor ceremony.
- Flower installations add drama and make a statement in the room where you’re having your reception. And there are many ways you can do these. For an original look, consider asking your florist to incorporate pampas grass, dried flowers or palm leaves.
Establish your budget and style, follow florists on social media and discuss your vision with them to see if they share it before committing.
Don’t forget the finishing touches
It’s all the little details, like wedding favours, which will contribute to making your wedding day special. And one finishing touch to bear in mind is QR codes for wedding pictures.
Sure you’ll need the official photographer to take all the official portraits and usual group shots. But, equally, you’ll want a broader view of your day, and to see all the moments your guests have captured. And with a QR code, no precious memory gets lost. You won’t be chasing up guests after the event, asking to see their imagery.
Instead, people can easily upload their still photos and videos from the occasion in one place in real time, providing a diverse range of perspectives.
It’s fun, simple, secure and interactive. Just generate and display the code, then take your guests through the process. Start reliving all those little moments straight away – or keep them to look at later.
Everything is stored in one accessible place from which you can download photos and clips any time. Finally, why not share the gallery with anyone who wasn’t able to be there on the day?
