For years weddings were seen as very traditional with little or no opportunity of personalization at all. Trends rarely affected them, apart from maybe the styles of dresses and suits, and most weddings looked identical.
But now, all of that has changed, as more and more couples are opting for wedding ceremonies and receptions that are more personal to them.
You will find that fun trends are now influencing most people’s ceremonies and people are a lot more willing to bring in personal touches to help create their big day.
Are you interested in personalizing your wedding? Here are five things that you can easily add some personal details to.
1. Your Invitations
Lots of couples simply go to a printers or a graphic designer when they need wedding invitations. Working with a graphic designer gives you the opportunity to be more involved in the design of your invitations and really add some more of your own personality to the invites.
However, if you’re really crafty, it can be a really nice touch to completely design your own invitations. You’ll get your personality in there, and also gives you the chance to keep costs down, as homemade is often cheaper than hiring someone to make them for you.
2. The Rings
When you are looking for an engagement and wedding ring, it’s a good idea to check out sites like this recent Whiteflash review so that you can get a good idea of which types of rings are the best quality.
It’s also worth reading the reviews to see which designs and makes of rings can be easily personalized. There are lots that jewelers will be able to engrave with a special word or phrase of your choice, such as “Always,” “I thee wed,” or your initials and wedding date.
3. The Dress
Did you know it’s also possible to personalize wedding dresses? They don’t need to be plain white anymore! In fact, lots of brides now like to add a splash of color to theirs.
Most dressmakers will be able to customize any dress you have your eye on, so it’s a good idea to speak to them about what exactly they can do for you.
4. Wedding Favors
You can also customize the wedding favors that you put in everyone’s place on the reception tables. For instance, if you want to give your guests a small bag of candied almonds, you can always add a personalized message on each bag. Even if it is just the guest’s name, I’m sure it will put a big smile on their face!
5. Include Your Pet
If you have a cute pet that will help add some “aww” factor to your big day, why not try and include them in the ceremony?
Lots of dog owners love to bring their four-legged friend to their wedding. Some even give their pooch the responsibility of being the ring bearer.
