Wedding Ideas

With so many rules surrounding what you are supposed to do with your wedding, you might be feeling as if you are starting to create a cookie-cutter variety wedding. Fortunately, there are a number of wedding ideas you can put in place to help personalize your big day. With these wedding ideas, you will truly feel like your ceremony is unique while still being traditional.

Including Mom in a Special Way

You might have briefly considered wearing your mother’s gown. But, the truth is these gowns are often damaged or discolored and often don’t fit this generation’s bride. In order to include your mother’s wedding gown in the wedding, however, you might take advantage of these wedding ideas: cut it up and use it in other places.

The idea may seem outrageous at first, but you can use the dress to create a dress for the flower girl, a pillow for the ring bearer, or even as lace to add to your bouquet. What better way to honor the dress while not trying to fit into it?

Utilize Edible Flowers

To help dress up your reception tables, crafty use of flowers are additional wedding ideas you might put into place. Edible flowers are one great way to do this. Include a few edible flowers in the salad of your guests and put the same flowers or flowers of the same hue in your bouquet. That way, the entire look is drawn together.

Add a Splash of Color

Your budget might be low, but with these color-adding wedding ideas your guests won’t even notice. You might find yourself having to settle for a wedding reception in the Elk’s Lodge or in the town hall. If this is the case, your walls are likely to be quite drab.

Dress it up and add your own personal flair by draping the walls with fabric hanging from the ceiling to the floor. Of course, the colors should compliment your flowers and the dresses of the bridal party. You can take this same fabric later and make table clothes out of it as a special gift and memento to your bridal party.

Get Creative With Cake

Your wedding cake is the perfect place to implement special wedding ideas. Forget about the traditional plastic bride and groom on top of the cake. Instead, personalize it by placing a special keepsake on top of it – something that is important and meaningful to both of you. Just make sure it is light enough to be supported by the cake.

Making it Ethnic

If you and your sweetheart are of a certain ethnic heritage, that can be the perfect source for some unique wedding ideas. Look into the traditional wedding customs of your lineage. You can include ethnic foods from your heritage, as well as include dance, music, and other wedding traditions. If you are of differing lineage, you can include customs from both sides. One romantic and symbolic option is to hire dancers to perform each type of ethnic dance, then have them come together to show you are two now becoming one.

Choose a Theme

A wedding theme is the best way to personalize your wedding. Coming up with the theme is the most difficult part. Once you have decided on your theme, however, wedding ideas will probably begin pouring out of you and everyone involved in planning your wedding. Run with those ideas and you will be sure to have a truly unique wedding day!
