A lot of effort goes into every wedding. No one knows this better than those who plan it: the bride and the groom. However, for many wedding guests, the event itself might blend in with all the other similar weddings they have attended. This is unfortunately the reality, no matter how much effort you have put into matching the linen with the bouquet and perfectly curating the playlist. So how do you make sure that your friends and family remember your special day as something truly special and one that stands out? Here are some ideas that will make your wedding hard to forget:
Make a movie out of it
Every couple has a story to tell about what brought them together, how their love started, and what they see it growing into. Instead of sticking to regular wedding photography, hire a wedding production company to make a movie out of your story. This can include footage from the past, or you can simply focus on the wedding day. This will give you the breadth and scope to capture all the emotions that will be brought up during the ceremony, from tears to cheers. The movie will also make for fun viewing years down the line for the whole family.
Find a unifying theme
One of the best ways you can make your wedding stand out is by having a unifying theme that distills the essence of your story or journey as a couple. If you share a love of traveling, you can make the wedding destination themed, even if it’s not a destination wedding. If both of you are into books or gadgets, you can add elements of this love into the decor in creative ways. Guests will be sure to talk about it long after the wedding.
Have fun with the cake
The wedding cake is extremely important to get just right. Still, it’s one of the areas where there is plenty of room for experimentation. You can order a cake in custom designs that reflect your interests, and you can also experiment with the flavors. Instead of plain old vanilla, you can add unique and interesting flavors in each layer.
Find wedding favors that last
People will go home with a small token of your special day in the form of wedding favors. You can make the wedding favors serve as a memory by making it a personal gesture. Give people something that is thoughtful, such as something from your favorite local store, or an item that contributes to a non-profit or charity.
Be genuine
The most important thing that makes a wedding truly unforgettable is the kindness, generosity, and hospitality of the hosts. Make sure that you greet each guest and make them feel truly part of the event, rather than something that they are just there to observe. You can do this by dedicating songs and dances, having guest books, or having group activities.
It’s normal to stress out about whether your wedding is going to be a success. It’s important to remember that the day is going to be special, regardless of whether every single detail goes to plan. So cherish each moment while keeping these creative ideas in mind.
