Planning a wedding involves making a lot of big decisions. From the venue and guest list to what to wear and catering, there are lots of big, costly things that couples need to get right to ensure that everyone has a fun and memorable day. However, this does not mean that the small details should be overlooked.
There are plenty of opportunities to incorporate small details into your big day that help add an elegant and personal touch to the proceedings. Here are some ideas on how to use them.
1. Personalised Wedding Favours
The purpose of wedding favours is to let your guests know that their attendance is appreciated, but if you opt for generic items they can come off as a little impersonal. It is much better to make them unique to your special day, even if you just do something as simple as putting the items in miniature gift bags labelled with your names. That way, guests have a keepsake to bring home.
2. Custom Wedding Suit
The bride’s dress and overall look is usually the fashion focal point of a wedding, but let’s not forget that there will be two people standing up there in front of everybody. It makes sense for both to be looking their absolute best, and for grooms, there is no better way to do this than with tailor made wedding suits. Having your suit measured and cut to its unique proportions is the surest way to enhance your appearance.
3. Handwriting
While it should be true that it is the meaning of words that matters and not the way they are presented to us, we cannot help but impart meaning to the latter. As quick and tidy as typing is, it feels impersonal because anybody could do it.
When words are handwritten, they seem to mean more. Weddings present many opportunities for meaningful, handwritten messages, from vows and keepsake books to invites and place cards for the guests.
4. Heirlooms and Sentimental Accessories
Accessories and jewellery are important in many wedding ceremonies across cultures because of their symbolic and sentimental attributes. They are not exclusive to the bride, either. Grooms could use heirloom cufflinks or borrow a pair from a loved one, for example.
5. Musical Moments
The first dance is always the big musical moment of any wedding, but it is unlikely that there is only one song that really means something to the two of you. Think of some others and request that the band or DJ drop them in throughout the night. Maybe it is a song that was playing in the background of your first date or another memorable event, or just something that you know your spouse really loves.
Conclusion
The idea of a wedding is to celebrate the couple who are getting married, and it is the small details on the day that really make the occasion unique to them and their loved ones. If your wedding is coming up, spend some time considering these ideas or your own to make your day truly unique and unforgettable for everyone.
