Weddings are stressful for everyone! Here are 7 Tips for men to help make their wedding day run smoothly.  Start The First Day Of Your Married Life The Right Way Here's a call out to any guys getting married soon: Don't screw it up! Your bride-to-be will have been waiting for this day her whole life, so the last thing you want to do is to ruin it for her. Your goal is to do all in your power to ensure a successful wedding day, so take heed of the following mistakes, and start the first day of your married life the right way! #1: Don't arrive late The bride is often traditionally late, but you don't want to be. Your goal is to get to your wedding venue before she does, so do the following. While you might be partying the night before, remember that you do need to get your sleep. Get home at a decent time, set your alarm, and give yourself the opportunity to wake up and refresh yourself before you need to get to your wedding. You should also consider a wedding transportation company. Professional drivers won't let you down, and they will be ready and waiting for you to take you to where you need to be. This is better than relying on a best friend or family member for transport, especially if they have a track record of being unreliable, and if their cars have a habit of breaking down! By following these simple steps, you should have no trouble getting to your wedding on time, much to the relief of the bride-to-be who will be expecting to see you at the aisle. #2: Don't turn up looking a mess If you have managed to get up at an early time on your wedding day, you should have more time to get ready. You will have time to shower and get a shave, and you will have time to make sure you look presentable in your wedding outfit (make sure you iron and hang up your clothes the night before). The bride will be doing all she can to look good on the big day, so you don't want to embarrass her with your appearance. Make the effort to look good, as you will then avoid any stressful arguments with your bride, and she won't be forced to say some of her wedding vows through gritted teeth. #3: Don't forget to compliment your bride on her appearance As a follow on from that last point, don't forget to tell your bride how beautiful she looks. She will have taken a long time getting ready (probably rising from her bed hours before you), so remember to give her all of the compliments she will be hoping to hear. You don't need to make big, gushing statements, as a simple "you look amazing" will probably suffice. Hint: For a happy and successful marriage, remember to make such compliments on a regular basis! #4: Don't screw up your wedding vows  Rehearse Your Wedding Vows If you're following the traditional pattern of wedding vows, you will have very little to remember. But if you have crafted your own, take time before your wedding day to rehearse them. By doing so, you are less likely to get flustered when you're stood in front of your bride, and you will be less likely to improvise with words you might later regret. If you need some inspiration for your wedding vows, consider these real-life examples for the big day. #5: Don't forget to spend time with your guests at the wedding While you might only have eyes for your bride on the wedding day, especially if she looks stunning in her wedding dress, you still need to avert your gaze occasionally and consider your guests. They will want to spend time with you too, more so if they have traveled a long way to get to the wedding, so don't spend all of your time with your bride. After all, you can have all the time you want with her during your honeymoon, and in theory, you have a whole lifetime to be in her company too! So, talk to people at your wedding, be they your friends or family members, and remember to thank them for coming. You don't need to spend a long time with each person, as a few short minutes of your time might be all it takes to make them feel appreciated. #6: Don't overdo it on the alcohol If you're prone to an odd tipple or two, remember not to overdo it. If you drink too much, you might only get drunk, and that could cause you to do all kinds of crazy and unfortunate things. You could stumble into the wedding cake, and demolish it with your body weight. You could reveal too many personal secrets about your bride when you're giving your speech at the dining table. And you could insult one of your in-laws, and that would not stand you in good stead for happy family relations. So, know your limits, drink in moderation, and improve the chances of your wedding day going by without a hitch! #7: Don't forget to lend a hand Too often at weddings, it's the bride running around trying to make sure everything is going smoothly. From checking in with the caterers to managing the needs of the guests, the bride will often be the person that is trying to keep everything under control. Why? Because she wants the day to be perfect, as this is a day she may have dreamed about her whole life! So, on the wedding day, remember to give her a hand (above and beyond your hand in marriage). If there are jobs that need doing, and if your bride is trying to do everything on her own, be there to support her. Of course, if you have both delegated responsibilities to others, you might both have the opportunity to relax. Still, people can let you down, so whether you have delegated or not, you should still be alert to anything that might need your intervention. By avoiding these mistakes, your wedding day should go well. You will end the day on a happy note, and reduce the chances of your first day in marriage being a tense and argumentative one!

Newly married? Dreaming of a honeymoon in the future when we can all travel again? Read these tips on how to make your honeymoon romantic and embrace your special time together. A honeymoon is the ultimate holiday for newlyweds to enjoy their married bliss. After getting married, you would usually have a honeymoon booked for that same year, with some even opting to go straight after the wedding day itself. Whatever your preference, here are some tips to make your honeymoon romantic.  Enjoy A Sunset Together Have A Lazy Day In Bed There’s nothing like unwinding and relaxing in a tropical paradise. Whether you go for a Maldives honeymoon or you fancy a trip across America, there is always going to be an opportunity to lounge. And one way to get the most out of a trip is to have a day where you do nothing at all. That means having a lazy day in bed or around the pool where you do nothing but chill out in each other’s company. A lazy day in bed might be ideal if the place you’re staying in is a luxurious one. If not, then there’s likely plenty of opportunities to lounge around the pool, on a sun lounger, or one of those day beds if you get lucky. Make sure you are allocating some time to just chill out because the likelihood of you getting a moment like this might be pretty rare for those that do a lot of work back at home and may never get the opportunity to enjoy doing absolutely nothing. Get A Couple’s Massage A couple’s massage is the ultimate romantic treat that you both can enjoy. Instead of going into a separate treatment room, why not get yourself booked in a room together where you have individual masseuses but can enjoy the relaxing massage as a pair, rather than alone. When you’re on a honeymoon, you’ll likely want to spend as much time together as possible, and a couple’s massage is definitely one of those treats that can be enjoyed as a pair. Watch The Sunset Being able to watch the sunset isn’t something most will typically do when back at home. It’s good to see the world from a different viewpoint, and when you’re somewhere abroad, it can be nice to watch the sunset together. It can be a romantic and peaceful experience that will help say goodbye to the day’s events and a thing you do before going off and having fun in the evening. Do Lots Of Activities Together The purpose of a holiday is to have a great time to relax and do activities where preferred. However, when you’re on a honeymoon, it’s good to do as much of the holiday together, rather than apart. Make sure you’re taking advantage of any activities that are available, and that would be fun for you and your partner to do. Take some time to yourselves, whether it’s a ride across the desert on camel or water skiing along the ocean. A honeymoon is the perfect chance to spend quality time together before it’s back to the reality of the daily grind. Use these tips to make the most out of your trip. Weddings are a lot of work to plan. Continue reading to discover a few tips to help you narrow down your options.  Your Wedding Is One Of The Most Important Days Of Your Life Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. It is a day you will look back on in years to come, and speak fondly of to your children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. You want your wedding to be a day you will never forget and everything to go off without a hitch. But the problem is, there is just so much to think about. There’s the guest list, the food, the entertainment, the rings, the vows, the speeches. And that’s not all. The wedding venue itself is an integral part of the day. Pick the wrong location, and you could be looking at a ruined wedding. There are several factors to consider when picking a wedding venue. You want it to be beautiful and photogenic, yet also convenient for everyone and within your budget. Wedding venues can be expensive, and often book up well in advance, so even if you find the perfect location, you are never guaranteed to get it. In order to make the right decision and settle on a venue that meets yours and your partner’s requirements, it is necessary to start with the basics. Here are a few tips to help you narrow down your options. Choose a location If you’re willing to get married anywhere in the world, you have too many options. Try to make your search a little easier by narrowing it down to a preferred location and exploring your options within a certain radius. Practically, it makes sense to get married near where you currently live, but you may prefer to go with a more sentimental location. Perhaps your hometown or the place where you first met. You may even choose to get married in an exotic country you’ve both always wanted to go to. Once you have picked a rough area, you can start looking for specific venues and find local suppliers and entertainment options. Set a budget Wedding venues can be expensive, so it is a good idea for you and your partner to discuss how much you are willing to spend. By creating and sticking to a budget, you ensure that you don’t go overboard with your spending. Once you have a figure, you can then start to look for venues that fall within your price range. Don’t be afraid to be flexible with your budget if you find a perfect place that is a little more expensive. You may be able to negotiate a better rate or cut costs in another area of your wedding. Think about guests How many people are you planning to invite to your wedding? Will it just be close friends and family, or are you planning a massive party with hundreds of people? Either way, you will want your venue to reflect the size of your gathering. You don’t want to have a huge party crowded into a tiny building, nor do you want to have a dozen attendees milling around an enormous ballroom. You should come with a rough list of exactly who you want to invite to your wedding and choose a suitably-sized location. Choose a date Some wedding venues are so popular they can book up well over a year in advance. You may have a fixed date in mind for the big day, but it pays to be flexible before you have actually booked the venue. The date will depend on the availability of you and your partner as well as your guests. Make sure you let guests know the date as soon as you have booked it, so they don’t make any plans. Figure out your priorities What do you want from your wedding venue? The decision you make will depend on several factors. Think about the style of wedding you want: classic and traditional, or modern and unique? Do you want it to be child-friendly or pet-friendly? Do you need an outdoor space or inhouse catering? Perhaps you want somewhere with accommodation so you and your guests can just head upstairs after the party is over. Prioritize the aspects that you are most keen for your venue to have and order your shortlist accordingly. Reach out to a few venues Once you have narrowed down your list to a few options that you really love, it can be difficult to pick one. It is a good idea to contact each of the venues to express your interest and ask them a few questions. You will want to know the practical information such as their availability, capacity, and pricing. But you also want to get an idea of how helpful and responsive they are. If they take a long time to get back to you or send blunt responses, you might get a better experience elsewhere. Visit your favourites You will need to visit the venue in person before the wedding day to ensure it is the right choice. Photos do not always do a place justice. You will want to take a tour, looking at the layout and making it is a good fit for the number of guests and the format you have in mind. Talk to the venue staff to get a good feel for the atmosphere in the venue. Make your choice At this point, you may have two or three potential options, so you will have to weigh the pros and cons of each and make a choice. It is good to have at least one backup in case your favourite option falls through. Both you and your partner might have a different top choice, so have a frank discussion and ensure you are both happy with the final decision. As soon as you have come to an agreement you should get in touch with the venue to book your wedding on your chosen date. Congratulations, you now have a venue for your wedding. There are so many different options for the location of your wedding ceremony and party. Learn more about some of the different types of venues available to you. Discover what you need to remember when planning a wedding. Wedding planning is an overwhelming time for any bride to be. There is so much to think about. It’s too easy to be distracted by one thing and another and even easier to forget the little things that some people would notice. Without further ado here are the things a bride is likely to forget when planning a wedding.  It Is Easy To Get Distracted When Wedding Planning Wedding favours Brides can get so wrapped up in everything to do with their wedding that things like favours can be forgotten. For anyone who isn’t sure what a wedding favour is here is a little explanation. A wedding favour is a token of appreciation to your guests for attending your big day. Things like candied almonds are more of a traditional gift. But these days you can get quite creative. Perhaps this is why wedding favours can be forgotten. But take it from me your guests will notice. Bridesmaid gifts It is a lovely gesture to offer your bridesmaids and maid of honours a gift. This is normally handed over to them during the speeches when the best man toasts the bridesmaids. This could be anything but the more personal, the better. This is a brides way of saying thank you for all the help and hard work. Things like jewelry are always well received. The all-important photographer Believe it or not, it can be quite easy to forget all about the wedding photographer for your wedding day. With so much focus on the wedding venue, the dress and the guests, you may forget that you want to capture the day as well. Speaking with some of the wedding professionals, they suggest you book a good photographer early on, so that you know that this detail is at least ticked off the list of jobs that need to be done. Bridesmaid shoes and accessories. Brides will have everything organised for themselves. But it’s easy to overlook the bridesmaids complete outfits. The dress will have been organised but what about their shoes and accessories? When organising your bridesmaids make sure you speak to them and either get involved in their choices or make them aware it is down to them. Booking hair and makeup. You may have been organized but up to the day of the wedding you realise you forgot all about your hair and makeup. It happens. Again, it’s easy to focus on what you are wearing rather than the complete look. It’s always a good idea to write a list for everyone in the bridal party to make sure you cover all the bases. Wedding night accommodation Unless you are have your wedding reception at a hotel where a room might be included in your package, it’s easy to forget about where you will stay. Getting from the reception to a place to stay is also a very common mistake some brides make. The best thing to do is discuss with your partner or friends everything to do with the wedding and try and tick off a list. It’s hard planning a wedding. It’s easy to see why some brides can forget a few details. But the most important thing is to enjoy the day. All of your guests will have fun spending time with family and friends and celebrating the love. 5 Professionals To Hire To Have An Effortless Wedding  Hire Professionals To Make Your Wedding Run Smoothly Planning a wedding is a gargantuan task. Sure, it’s generally just a one-day event. But for many people, this will be one of the biggest days of their lives and chances are you’ll want yours to go as smoothly as possible. Now, there’s no way one person can undertake all of the tasks required to help a traditional wedding come to fruition. Instead, you’re going to find yourself having to call in the help of multiple professionals to bring things together. Here are a few that you might find yourself collaborating with! A Wedding Planner If the weight of responsibility associated with organising a wedding feels too much for you, or if you simply don’t have a clue how to pull a wedding together and really need a helping hand, you may want to push the responsibility onto a professional wedding planner. These specialists will have overseen endless weddings, so will know what works, what doesn’t and what’s absolutely essential to make the happy couple’s dreams come true. A Photographer Sure, your guests will take plenty of pictures throughout your big day. But you could really do with a professional wedding photographer to take the best shots possible. This person will have the best equipment, expertise and creativity to get stunning pictures of all aspects of your big day. Make sure to look through portfolios before putting down any deposit or hiring anyone. This will show you their style and give you confidence that they’re good at what they do. Take a look at Christophe Viseux Photography for a good example! A Videographer Increasing numbers of people want video footage of their big day too. Professional wedding videographer is great in the same way that hiring a professional photographer is. Again, you’ll want to look around for recommendations and you’ll want to see a good portfolio to give you an idea of your chosen videographer’s style and professionalism. A Catering Company Guests are bound to get hungry on the big day. If you have many, or you want high quality food, you’re going to have to use a catering company to supply the meals! There are various options out there and the best for your big day will largely fall down to your budget, preferences and needs. Buffets are great for large weddings. Sit down meals can be preferable for small weddings. Food vans are also rising in popularity as a cute and novel way of serving guests food. A Band or DJ We all want music on our big day and few are going to leave this up to someone sitting with their phone plugged in and a playlist on the go. Instead, most people will hire a band or DJ to keep the music going throughout the day. These are just a few professionals you may come into contact with when it comes to planning your big day. You’ll likely meet many more. But those listed above should really help things to go well! Learn some wedding planning tips before you say I do! There’s nothing like the thought of having to say I do that’ll send shivers down your spine. The thought of having to walk down the aisle and see everyone staring at you is enough to put some people off. Most of us want to get married, and we love the thought of being with the person that we love for the rest of our lives. But comfortably getting to that point is not as easy as it used to be. There’s plenty of things that you need to do before saying I do. You need to be so prepared that you think about nothing but the love for your partner during the day. You don’t want to spend the day rushing around making sure everyone is happy and everything is running how it should do. So, we’re going to show you some of the things to say before saying I do, so that you can have the most magical wedding day.  A Well Planned Wedding Leads To A Magical Wedding Day Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Your entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen is either going to be absolutely huge, or you'll have a small party of people following closely behind you. They’re the people who are going to support your decisions throughout, and basically just go with the flow of what you’re doing for the day. But there’s a few things that you’ll have to do to ensure they’re happy with the whole day, and the first is picking what style dress and suit you want them to have. For the females, it’s more about style and colour. An olive green bridesmaid dress might suit one girl, whereas another finds it horrible. So you start to see one big problem before you say I do, and that’s keeping everyone else happy. The best way to do so is letting them have an input into what they’re going to be wearing, and doing all day! Wedding Favours & The Food The wedding favours are the little bit of the day that everyone gets to take home with them. They’re called wedding favours, but they’re more like a little gift for everyone who has managed to turn up. There are so many design ideas to look at on the internet, but try and make it personal to you, or perhaps personal to the guest. It depends how much effort you want to put into this, but it is nice for your guests to go home with something great to remember the day by. The Venue & The Photographer These two go hand in hand. Once you’ve secured the venue, you need to find out about how many they’ll allow, where cars can pull up, and where the best location is going to be for the photos afterwards. Working closely with the venue and finding everything out from the get go will prevent any dramas. There are always reviews on the internet to guide you towards a good photographer as well! You want someone who is going to be able to capture the magic of the day that you’re having! Treat your guests! Make your wedding day memorable by including some of these unique ideas into your wedding ceremony and reception.  Try To Make Your Wedding Unique For You & Your Guests Everybody wants their wedding day to be special and unique. It's the chance you get for all your friends and family to gather together to celebrate the love you and your partner share, so doing everything you can to make it memorable is crucial. Even though it is only one day, there is still so much going on. It's a long day that starts early, and from the moment you wake up, it feels like a whirlwind that is hard to pull yourself away from. It's better for the happy couple when they know that everything will go off without a hitch while they get hitched. Everybody Gathered The ceremony is about the vows, rings, and final kiss sealing your union. But before that, there are plenty of ideas to make it unique for you and your guests. Surprise ring bearers are always an excellent addition, whether it's a family pet or someone who you didn't think could make the day. You can also consider unique seating ideas like arranging the guests in a spiral so the bride walks past everybody on the way to her soon-to-be-spouse gives everyone a clear view of what's going on. This is superb for getting the perfect photo that they can share with you once everything is said and done. Your First Walk After the announcement that you and your partner are in this forever, your first walk gives your guests the chance to cheer, congratulate, and get their first proper pictures of the happy couple arm in arm. This walk will take place immediately after signing the register. Still, you can also do it when leaving the venue with everyone gathered outside and with the photographer in a special place to get the perfect shot. Walking back past everyone now as a married couple gives them the chance to congratulate you, give out hugs, kisses, and celebrate your union. Once upon a time, people would throw rice, but considering that's not done anymore, confetti is a fantastic alternative. The pictures you get from this can be flush with color, and who doesn't like popping off confetti no matter the occasion? The Downtime There is always downtime during a wedding, and this is typically after the ceremony but before the food comes out. This isn't a bad thing, though, and it gives everyone a chance to relax and talk with the other guests while the wedding party poses for photographs. You can make sure that everyone enjoys themselves while they wait for their dinner by ensuring the venue has a great social place for them to hang out. Ideally, there are both indoor and outdoor areas to accommodate for the weather and also giving people a place to sit down. On the Table While the day is very much about you and your partner, the guests are still an essential part of the event. Without them, there would be no wedding, and the guests help to make it the success you've always dreamed of. With this in mind, it's nice to give them a little something to remember the day by. Carved table placements with everyone's name on is a good option, but so many people do this that it becomes almost a cliche. Instead, you can get them more involved in the proceedings once everyone is set down. A list of photo challenges is a great way to get the guests engaged, and they can post it to Instagram or Facebook using your wedding hashtag. There may not be a prize for the winner, but the activity is still sure to get everybody talking, especially if they don't know each other that well. Treats for the Guests While you'll hope that most people can make the ceremony, this isn't possible for everybody, whether it's because of work or just not having enough space for them during the first part of the day. This doesn't mean you don't care for them as much as others; you just have to find a cutoff point. However, those attending the after-party still have a place in your day. This can be dancing their feet off or drinking you to a drink or two. To say thank you, personalized wedding reception chocolate bars are a fantastic way for them to feel more involved in the day. The wrappers can have the date with your names on as well as their name, giving them something to take home with them after treating themselves to a little munch to get the energy pumping. The Last Song You want to end the day memorably, and because of this, the last dance is almost as important as the first. Regardless of you having a wedding DJ, live band, or a Jukebox for everyone to pick their favorite songs, you can finish the day by selecting a last song that will get everybody dancing. Before the wedding, you can ask your guests to submit requests for what they would like for the final song. Often, you'll find many responses are the same, and you can go with the most popular option to end on. As for the other songs, sprinkle them throughout the rest of the evening so that everyone gets the chance to boogie. Together Through Life After the dust settles and you both crash into your hotel room after your big day, it will dawn on you that you have the rest of your lives together. To make every day from now on as special as your wedding day, remember to support and trust each other. Doing this means you'll not run into any problems, and if you do, you can work together to overcome them. A Day Everyone Will Remember Whether you want to embrace a traditional wedding or do something out of the box, your wedding will be unique no matter what. But if you're going to put a twist on your most favorite of all days, though, indulging in some of the wholly unique and wholly unique ideas can make it a day that everybody will remember, and it might even give others some great ideas for their big day, too.
Explore some ideas on how the right decor can make your summer wedding unforgettable.
Beautiful lights can add some sparkle to your wedding when the sun goes down
Summer weddings are so popular that many people find themselves getting ready for wedding season at some point in their lives. With so many summer weddings, making yours memorable might seem like a difficult feat. One thing to focus on might be summer decor, but there are many ideas you can consider to make your summer wedding unforgettable. Beach Theme You don't have to be on the beach to have a wedding with a beach theme. Even if your wedding is mostly indoors, you could still create a summer atmosphere. You could do anything from a lounge area with deckchairs to bottles of colored sand decorating your tables or a seashell motif. Think of natural and earthy tones, combining sandy colors with blues and greens. Set Up Some Evening Lights The longer days of summer and warmer weather are perfect for partying into the night at your wedding. But when the sun does start to go down, make sure you have plenty of lighting. It's a great opportunity to set up some beautiful lights, from strings of fairy lights to candles and lanterns. Just be careful with any open flames. Get to Know Summer Flowers Your choice of flowers can be a big part of your wedding. Choosing seasonal flowers helps you develop a theme, and it's better for the environment too. Get to know your choice of summer flowers by looking at the infographic below, which takes you through some of the most important things that you need to know. Explore some suggestions for a themed wedding in this creative post, and see if you can spot a theme you love!  Don't Overcomplicate Your Theme So, you're planning your wedding, the biggest day of your life. You know you want 'something unique' and 'something special,' but you're not quite sure what that is. Remember, it's your day, and you shouldn't worry about what other people think or what they want. It's your day, and you should have it just how you want it. Choosing a theme for your wedding can be a tricky task, but once you have decided, then the rest of the planning will stem from your idea and work around it, making all those decisions easy and a load of fun. If you're not sure on what exactly a wedding theme is, it is an idea or a concept that flows throughout the whole of your big day. It can be simple as your favorite color or as specific as a favorite movie or decade. No matter what you choose to have as your theme, you don't want to overcomplicate it. You want your guests to recognize the theme; you also want them to understand that this theme is personal to you. Ideas For Themes Perhaps there's a decade that you love or a time period that means something to you, for example, Ancient Greece is a beautiful theme to have for a wedding; it's romantic, classy, elegant, and straightforward to do. Using plenty of grapes and gold strewn throughout your venue, you could even dress your ushers up like Spartans, and it'll be straightforward to find your perfect wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses to suit this theme. You could opt for something a little more 'out there' and choose a movie-inspired theme, something like the Great Gatsby could work as not only does it combine one of the most memorable books and films, but it also includes all of the glitz and glamour of the 1920s. Just imagine the over-the-top vintage jewelry, the embellished ball gowns, and all the bling from your decorations. You could choose for something inspired by TV...and perhaps a little less glamorous? A Game of Thrones themed wedding offers endless possibilities, from your tables, invitations, and any other decorations can be in the theme of the various "houses" of the realm complete with the color scheme and the emblems. The bride, groom, and guests can choose from a variety of leathers, furs, long flowing lace, and Celtic knot hairstyles. Oh – and you can get married in a castle too! A Harry Potter theme is another easy one and could be a lot of fun too, with red napkins and tall candles defining the dining hall, the table names with the houses, and there's always a place for wands and golden snitches too. If you are a big fan of something like Star Wars or Harry Potter, then you probably don't need much advice on how to plan a wedding in these themes. When it comes to Star Wars, there are loads of ideas from glow in the dark lightsabers hanging from the ceiling, the imperial march playing as you walk down the aisle, and dancing to the Cantina Song. You could even have the ushers directing your guests to the Dark or Light Side. If you're more into your books than TV and movies, then a literary wedding could be the one for you. Celebrate your big day with themes from literature's most famous lovers such as Romeo & Juliet or Tristan & Isolde. Instead of the standard table runner, use pages from your favorite books, and ask your guests to come dressed as their favorite literary characters. Music might be more your thing if so imagine a gorgeous traditional gown with some cowboy boots, and a denim jacket draped around your shoulders. Play some country music, have everyone up line dancing, and a food truck serving your guests their dinner? Sounds good. A festival might be more your cup of tea or even a rock concert, and these themes give you loads of avenues to be creative. Print your tickets, post your lineup, and tell your guests to expect a lot of loud music, dancing, and light show. Add some vintage microphone decorations, a great pyrotechnics show, and swap cutting the cake with lighting a guitar on fire. If you want your wedding to be an actual event, then go for it! Plan something that your guests will look forward to, something they can interact with and experience something like never before. Let your guests know what's to come and make sure they know that they'll need energy and enthusiasm to appreciate what's in store. Also, it' would be nice to give them suggestions and examples for outfits as well as a basic itinerary for the day so that they know how to pace themselves. Learn 5 top tips on how to personalize your wedding in this loving post.  Include Personal Touches In Your Wedding When it comes to weddings, everyone definitely has their own way of doing things and their own unique style, but the problem is that there really seems to still be a lot of pressure to do things a certain way and adhere to tradition. Although tradition certainly isn’t a bad thing, when it comes to something as personal as your wedding, it can be easy to go overboard with the traditions and have things that end up feeling stuffy and impersonal, which is really not something you want to have associated with your wedding that you’re going to be looking back on for the rest of your lives. So, if you’re looking to have a wedding that really reflects your personality and is unique to you and your partner, then in this post we’re going to share with you some of our top tips for how to make your wedding more personal. Personalize your save-the-date cards: The concept of the save-the-date card has been around for many years already, and is something that comes before the formal invitation. Basically a save-the-date card is just that - something that informs people of your intention to get married on a certain date and this will even be sent up to one year before your wedding or when you officially lock down the date so that people have plenty of time to plan ahead by doing things like arranging time off from work, etc, unlike in the past when things were just said verbally and then an invitation would arrive a few weeks before the big day. However, when save-the-date cards first became a thing, they were quite simple and really just aimed to fit one purpose and often they weren’t very personal or individual, but nowadays there are so many options to get creative with these and really tailor them to your personality and to the theme of your wedding. So, for example, couples who may be getting married abroad may consider having something that resembles and air mail envelope, a baggage tag, or even an airline ticket/boarding pass as their save-the-date. A couple who come from different countries may consider something like a passport style or even a visa stamp - anything that really reflects them as people and that forms part of their love story. Another example could be a couple who share a hobby or interest that plays a role in how they met could theme their save-the-date cards to reflect that. Design your own rings: Wedding rings have always been a big part of the wedding iteself and since you’re going to be wearing them for a large portion of your life, then it’s important that you pick something you like and that really suits your style and personality. However, it’s not as easy as you might think to choose a wedding ring because there are simply so many options out there to choose from, so one way around this is to get your own rings designed and made especially for your wedding. There are many places where you can go to have a women’s and mens ring just for you designed the way you really want it and that truly captures who you are as people, both individually and as a couple. Have a theme that means something to you both: Again, the theme of your wedding is often quite difficult to choose because it’s something that there are a lot of options for, and if you’re like most people then you probably both have a varied degree of interests among you both, so it’s really not something that’s going to come incredibly easily - especially not when you start looking online for inspiration and find yourself nearly drooling over everything you see there. That being said, if you want to have a wedding that’s more personal to you and your partner, then you could consider this in your theme and go with something that’s personal to you as a couple and that really highlights your relationship and your love story. It could be a theme to do with travel if that’s how you met, it could be a shared interest or hobby or it could be around a certain song or movie - really anything that matters to you both, so a good idea is to sit down together and look at your relationship and see where you could possibly find some theme ideas to really make your wedding more personal to you both. Make your own favors and centerpieces: Although these will ultimately be part of your theme and decor, if you’re really looking for some additional personal touches, then instead of going with some standard floral centerpieces or the usual favors, then you can get creative and make your own to match the overall theme of the wedding and to really highlight your personalities and your relationship. You could even do things like mixed favors, so you could have different ones for men and women - or different ones created by each of you and then lay them all on the tables for guests. Combine tradition with your personality: As mentioned at the start of this post, a lot of weddings really take the tradition thing a bit far which can cause the essence and personality of the couple to become a bit lost, and whilst having some tradition can definitely be nice, it’s a good idea to combine your personality in there, too. So, for example, some couples will do things like instead of having a slow, romantic song for their first dance, they’ll create a dance together as a sort of show for their guests, there could be the bride giving a speech which isn’t traditionally done at weddings, or there have even been weddings where the couple have hired a flash mob and surprised their guests with this. It’s not about trying to stand out and be funny for the sake of it, but it’s about truly injecting your personality into the wedding and having it showing who you are, and of course it’s also about having fun. |
