Every couple wants to come up with unique wedding ideas and plan an iconic wedding. But creating a truly unique wedding is a tough task. With all of the details and decisions that go into planning a wedding, it’s easy to accidentally end up choosing songs, food options, and even speeches that can be considered stereotypical. Your best man for the big day might feel confident that his speech is unique because he didn’t use Google for any help, but the truth is that he’s probably going to use jokes and tell stories that are similar to what millions of other best men have told. So, as you can imagine, most ideas have been played out at this point.
How can you come up with unique wedding ideas? Well, you need to think outside the box. The following suggestions might help you to create an iconic wedding without being too stereotypical.
Get Creative With The Wedding Dress
You might not mind having a traditional white wedding dress for the big day, even though it can be considered to be stereotypical. (This is one element of the ceremony that most brides want to keep traditional). The most important thing is simply that you have a beautiful dress.
But you could switch things up with an interchangeable dress that can be altered for the reception following your ceremony. This is becoming increasingly popular because brides want to be comfortable in the evening when they’re drinking and dancing with their friends and family.
You can also get creative with the wedding dress by giving it a bespoke design. Obviously, you wouldn’t be the first person to do this, but your bespoke dress will have a design that is different. Adding your own personal touches to the details and pattern of the dress will make it into a one-of-a-kind garment. And that’s the key to making your big day into an iconic event. You can allow for some traditions and stereotypes, but customize other elements of your big day to make it iconic and unique.
Host The Wedding At A Unique Location
Another fantastic way to make your wedding iconic is to host it in a unique location. This can be tricky depending on what is available in or near the city where you will want to get married. And many settings can spark a stereotypical idea of how a wedding should be there. Lots of people get married on beaches, for example. You might not be the first couple in history to get married on a beach, but you could certainly use such a venue as an opportunity to decorate in a vibrant and iconic way. You might want some suggestions if you’re wondering how to dress for a beach wedding.
When it comes to your wedding’s aesthetic, it’s not just all about the venue; it’s about the attire too. And there’s nothing that says you can’t start off with a typical location for your wedding ceremony and then move to a slightly more unexpected location for the reception. You can make any location into something individual.
Think outside the box.
Go For The Personalized Approach
Just like customizing your wedding dress, the best way to make your wedding iconic without being too stereotypical is to personalize it. Rather than trying to think of things that haven’t been done before, think of things that are meaningful and representative to you and your partner.
Put your own spin on things. Maybe you’ll get the band to play a hip-hop song you love on the piano because it’s your favorite artist and your favorite instrument combined. You could even do a little DIY to add unique touches to your wedding. You could make your own handmade favors to decorate your wedding as classic or as quirky as you want and save some money.
Be creative and, most importantly, enjoy your big day. Remember, there is something that is totally unique to your wedding, and that is you and your fiancé.
