Sometimes the meaning of a wedding can get lost in all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the big day. In fact, it is easy to forget that what matters is two souls joining together and making a lifelong commitment to each other.
Luckily, it’s easy for the two people that are tying the knot to redress this balance by simply by adding some personal touches.
1. Use your favorite colors
One super simple way to make your wedding more personal is to pick your favorite colors. These can be used in your decorations, flowers and even as part of your outfits. In fact, this is an excellent low effort way to inject a bit of your personality as a couple into proceedings.
Of course, this can be taken a little bit further by having the bride wear the groom’s favorite color as part of her outfit or bouquet, or even as the actual color of her dress. After all, non-white dresses are becoming more and more popular.
The groom can reciprocate as well and rock the bride’s favorite tones in his tie or cummerbund for that extra special personal touch. You don’t even have to let others know this is the reason for your color choices, something that can make it even more personal.
2. Find trends that reflect you as a couple
Another way you can make your wedding more personal is to search through the many different trends and pick one that reflects you as a couple. For the couple who loves music and festivals create a rustic, gig style wedding, or for couples whose main hobby is sailing, opt for a beach themed day.
Of course, all the choices to pick from can become a little overwhelming, and to help you with this is best to find a wedding planning guide that summarizes them all in one place. After all, you’ll have enough on your plate when it comes to getting married, why not make things a little easier when you can?
3. Pick flowers that have a specific meaning
Also, you can make your wedding more personal and intimate by picking flowers that have special meaning for you as a couple. What this means is that your floral choices aren’t just based on color but are in line with something meaningful. This could be the blooms that the groom bought the bride on their first date, or the favorite flower of a cherished relative who could not be there for the big day.
Alternatively, you can even look at the in-depth meaning of each flower and match this to the sentiments that you and your future husband/wife have for one another in life such as everlasting love, love at first sight, and even passion.
By adding even just a few personal touches your wedding will hold even more meaning to you both, and won’t be just a generic party like everyone else’s.
