Everyone wants to make their wedding unique and memorable whether it’s a specific type of flower or a song that means so much to you. However, these are not the only way to make your wedding more special. It doesn’t always need to be about what’s immediately visible. Instead, there are many small but significant details that can make your wedding feel more suited to you, even if it’s just you and your partner that know about it.
Personalisation
Every wedding has a bit of the happy couple injected throughout, whether it’s with their favourite colours or certain songs that connect with the soul. But, these details are usually obvious to everyone else, so if you want to look at more personal customisation, consider the finer, less evident details that only you and your partner will notice.
Things like custom wedding rings or food and drink from a place that’s special to you both can make your day feel more like yours. It can turn your wedding day from something that may seem a little too template into one that is you all over.
Surrounding Scenery
Obviously, the scenery and venue is important for the wedding, but too many couples only think about certain times and neglect to remember that the light changes. As the sun climbs into the sky and then descends later on, it’s worth considering the scenic views surrounding your venue and how that might impact the day.
Capturing the perfect photo as the sun sets on the horizon makes for an exceptional shot, but it also means the natural light has diminished entirely. Additional lighting, such as fairy lights, can help maintain the fairytale setting you always envisioned.
The In-Between
While you and your partner finish off the legal requirements of signing a wedding certificate, your guests will file out and need something to do between the ceremony and reception so don’t forget about them.
An open bar, particularly one with drinks other than pints of lager will always go down well, and it helps everyone loosen up before dinner so the conversation flows and the laughs are guaranteed, no matter how emotional the speeches are.
Table Decor
Many happy couples spend hours debating the table decor, but there are other aspects that also require your attention. Place settings and favours are two common essentials, especially in modern weddings, and couples in the past have laid out silhouettes of the guest’s favourite animals.
As for favours, something edible or drinkable is always welcome. If you have the time, work with a local brewery or distillery to put together a drink that celebrates your big day. A cocktail is perfect for the final cheers of the day before the dance floor opens.
A Special Day
Weddings are a special day for everyone, and many happy couples feel they need to make the occasion as memorable for their guests as it will be for themselves. Although these details may not seem so immediate or obvious, they are still an effective way to transform the day, ensuring it goes from good to great, and makes your day the most special you’ve ever experienced.
