6 Fresh Ways to Get Creative for Your Wedding
There is certainly no shortage of sources of inspiration for planning a fun, precious, and memorable wedding. Spend a few minutes browsing through websites and social media sites like Pinterest and Instagram, and you’ll soon be swimming in a sea of ideas for adding a personal touch to your special day with your spouse-to-be.
So, if you want your wedding to be unique and enjoyable for you, your groom, and all of your guests, exploring creative solutions is a must.
Here are some fresh ideas that you can consider discussing with your trusted wedding planner to come up with beautifully creative moments for one of the biggest days in your life.
1. Opt for an unexpected location.
Do not limit your wedding venue options to the typical places such as hotel courtyards, wedding halls, and churches. Consider vineyards, barns, farms, campsites, and even the private properties of relatives and friends.
These locations may require some setting up to ensure everybody’s comfort and convenience, as well as to meet your aesthetic standards. However, wedding planning companies can easily take care of this since they have their own services that can cover the location’s requirements. What’s more, they have connections with reliable vendors for products that they cannot provide.
2. Avoid packing in all the wedding events in a single day.
Who says your wedding should take place in just one day? Even if it’s not the norm to celebrate wedding festivities for more than a day, you can choose to explore a new path and hold your wedding for a couple of days or even a week if you want.
This is a wonderful idea to consider, especially if you and your groom come from differing faiths, cultures, or nationalities. You can have a wedding that honors your individual or combined customs. The reception can also be expanded to include an extra day or two for guests from both sides to meet and celebrate with you and your partner.
3. Bring in food trucks and kiosks instead of traditional catering services.
Wedding receptions should be fun, so it should be perfectly fine to choose non-traditional options. When it comes to feeding your guests, for example, how about employing the services of food trucks and small food vendors instead of traditional catering services (especially if you and your groom are big fans of these)?
These alternative food and refreshment providers can bring more fun to the occasion. Guests do not have to stay at their table and observe proper dining etiquette. Instead, they can eat in a more relaxed and social way because the offerings of food trucks and kiosks are casual (yet delicious) on-the-go meals.
4. Combine different kinds of entertainment.
Entertainment is definitely something to splurge on for weddings, especially if you have a diverse group of guests. Consider combining a DJ, live band, a stand-up comedian, game booths, and table-against-table competitions. Your guests can dance, sit back and enjoy lovely live music, score laughs, or compete with each other in a friendly way (or give everything a try).
It is important, however, to maintain the order of the wedding despite these different entertainment features. To achieve this, make sure to work closely with your wedding organizer, and perhaps hire a highly experienced event emcee or presenter. Proper coordination is a must to ensure the smooth flow of the program even with all the different activities taking place.
5. Come up with a fancy set of giveaways.
Make your wedding even more memorable by putting more inspiration into your wedding giveaways. Take a cue from award ceremonies’ loot bags that contain everything from kitschy products to luxury items and gift cards from popular retail establishments.
Fancy giveaways are a great way to express your gratitude to everybody who came to witness and celebrate your important life milestone with you.
6. Break traditions.
If you really want your wedding to stand out, there’s no better way of doing that than by choosing to skip some established aspects of wedding ceremonies and receptions.
One popular ways of pulling this off is by having the bride wear black and making the groom wear white. Another is by doing without a wedding cake; there are bakeries that offer wedding flan, pies, and even giant cookie stacks in place of the usual tiered cakes.
Your wedding should be a fulfillment of your desire. Hopefully, the creative ideas shared here can help you achieve the unique wedding of your dreams.
