Have you ever gone to a wedding and thought “Wow! That was so THEM!”? Well, it’s probably because the couple incorporated details that spoke to who they are as a couple. Weddings are all about celebrating the love between two people and the best weddings are a representation of not just who they are as individuals, but of their love story. In this blog, I’m sharing a few unique wedding ideas you can incorporate to personalize your wedding day.
6 Unique Wedding Ideas to Include In Your Special Day
Reimagine Wedding Traditions
When it comes to planning a wedding, it can be easy to get swept up in the world of Pinterest-perfect images and trendy ideas. Before you know it, you’ve planned a beautiful wedding, but does it really feel like you? There is so much more to a wedding day than following trends or other people’s ideas. Weddings are full of traditions, and while traditions can be very meaningful, there is also a lot of beauty in making room for new ideas and putting your flair on things.
Instead of following a cookie-cutter script for what your wedding day should look like, why not start with a fresh slate? Sit down with your partner and dream about what you want your wedding day to look like. Who do you want to invite? Where do you want it to take place? Do you want to include any activities? No idea is off limits!
To learn more about non traditional weddings and some ideas you can include on your day, check out my guide below!
Send a Mood Board With the Color Palette in the Wedding Invitation
Your wedding invitations are the first glimpse your guests will get of your big day. If you want to make them even more special, consider including a mood board that reflects your wedding’s color palette and theme. This not only sets the tone for your day but also gives your guests a sense of the type of environment you’re creating.
When choosing your colors, think about the emotions and memories you want to feel on your wedding day. Instead of just choosing colors that are popular or trending, choosing colors that evoke feelings or remind you of a particular place or season. You can even share this personal touch with your guests, allowing them to even more fully help you celebrate your love story.
Mono Bloom Wedding Party Bouquets
What’s a wedding without flowers? Flowers visually add so much to a wedding day, from their color to their texture, to the actual blooms themselves. If you’re looking for a more unique way to incorporate flowers into your wedding day, consider going with mono bloom arrangements. Mono bloom bouquets feature just one type of flower and can make a big statement when done well. They are also a great way to personalize your wedding. For example, if a particular flower reminds you of a special memory or has a special meaning in your relationship, you can make that the center of all your floral arrangements.
Host Your Wedding at an Airbnb
One of my favorite unique wedding ideas is hosting your wedding at a non-traditional venue, like an Airbnb. Airbnbs work great for small, intimate weddings with loved ones. Whether it’s a cozy cabin in the woods, a chic city loft, or a beach house by the ocean, choosing an Airbnb allows you to create a wedding experience that feels like home and allows you and your guests to truly relax and enjoy the moment. Plus, Airbnbs offer so much flexibility. Whether you want to use the space for your first look or for your ceremony or your reception, the options are endless!
City Hall and Small Dinner Reception
Similar to Airbnb weddings, a city hall wedding is another way to make your wedding day unique. Having an intimate courthouse wedding keeps the focus on you and your partner without the added stress that often comes with a traditional wedding venue. That said, a city hall wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing style. You can still bring in personal touches, like writing your own vows or choosing a meaningful location for photos. Then, you can follow it up with a dinner celebration at your favorite restaurant or a catered meal in your backyard.
Elope Somewhere You Love
Elopements are a beautiful and unique way to celebrate your lovey. There are so many different ways to plan an elopement, whether it’s a celebration with just the two of you at a location that is special to your relationship, or an intimate wedding at a place you’ve always dreamed of visiting. Planning an elopement allows you to ditch traditions and focus on each other and the experience you want to have together.
Wondering what the difference is between micro weddings and elopement? Visit the blog to learn more about how these events are similar and how they’re also different.
At the end of the day, your wedding should be a reflection of you as a couple. Trends can offer tons of inspiration, but instead of choosing an option because it’s trendy, ask yourself if it truly means something to you or why you’re drawn to it.
By including unique wedding ideas and infusing your personal story into every detail, you’ll not only create a wedding day that’s beautiful but one that’s also deeply meaningful.
