Ideas for a Unique Wedding

There once was a day when straying from tradition, or adding non-traditional touches to your wedding could be strange, weird or just unheard of.  Not today.  With many bridal web sites, Pinterest and abundant D.I.Y ideas, being unique is often welcomed when it comes to a wedding. There are several ways in which you can add your own spin, but here are a few ideas.

Create your own theme based on your personality.  There are a TON of wedding theme ideas available, but why not create your own.  You may like bright colors, vibrant flowers and large accent pieces for decoration.  Your own take on a fairy tale tea party.  Choose a theme that closely resembles your own loves, rather than the pre-created themes that can be found on the internet.

Be bold in your color choices.  Bring color to all aspects of your wedding.  You can include favors with a pop of color, table runners, chair ties, a stand out cake or even bright drink ideas.  Your choice of color can be infused through out the day; from ceremony to reception to exit.

Color Pop

Do the unexpected.  While tradition may state that each wedding has a bouquet toss, a first dance and a cake cutting ceremony you can choose to do things differently.  A choreographed bridal party entrance, a unique unity ceremony or reception entertainment may be an option.  Some couples have chosen to include karaoke into their reception, or perhaps a caricature artist.  Your event will surely stand out with a fun way for guests to remember your special day.

Think beyond the traditional materials.  We are already seeing couples change the way guests sign in, the cake is displayed, and even the way the ceremony is set up.  Incorporate natural materials such a stones, wood or water into your decor.  Some couples opt for trees and greenery instead of flowers.  You may also choose to change up your favors and give out seeds or coffee beans.

A wedding is all about celebrating the Bride and Groom.  Make it a day about you two.  Set your own tradition by stepping out and making your day unique!
