Each one of us wants our wedding to be the most memorable and cherished event of our life, and we go to any lengths to make it the most personalized one. Here are top 5 ways on how to personalize a wedding.
A wedding is the most special celebration of a person’s life and if he or she wants to personalize the celebration, then it surely should be done. The trend of personalized weddings is catching up in a big way all over the world. From little things such as giving away small personalized return gifts to big things such as choosing personalized themes, marriage ceremonies these days are open to creative exploration. So, if you are about to get married and want a personalized celebration, here are five ways in which you can do so.
Invitations
You can begin with personalizing the wedding invitation. Instead of putting in stereotyped wordings, you can write your own welcome message, something which suits your personality. Every person has certain phrases that he or she repeats very often during conversations. Incorporate such phrases into the invitation. Secondly, you can have your pictures on the card. A smiling picture of the couple is a great of saying that you are warmly invited to the wedding. Choose your favorite colors for the invitation, rather than going with the conventional cream or ivory.
Decorations
The wedding venue gives you a lot of scopes to personalize your wedding. Decide on your kind of decorations. For example, a cartoonist can decorate his or weddings with cute cartoon characters in romantic and funny poses. It makes for a great change and adds a huge personal flavor. A football player can do up his wedding with different shaped colorful balls embellished with shimmer, ribbons, bandanas or flowers wrapped around them. You can personify your hobbies through your wedding decorations.
Food and drinks
Every family has its traditional recipes. Get your mother or grandmother to explain those recipes to the chefs in charge of the wedding spread. Also, include your favorite dishes. You can even go a step further and give out recipes of your traditional dishes to the guests. As for drinks, have a bartender create a unique cocktail for your wedding incorporating the favorite flavors and mixes of both the bride and groom.
Entertainment
Family members can be a great help in arranging entertainment. Plan out a dance drama kind of show showing your journey as a couple, from the moment you met to the time you took your vows. This can also be done if your wedding is arranged by your family. You can show the different backgrounds of the couple and how they came together in a match made in heaven. Such a show will be most memorable for all guests, family and more so, for the wedding couple.
Dresses
You can make your wedding special for yourself and your whole family by wearing your mother’s wedding gown. If it does not fit well, you can have an exact replica tailor-made for you. Add family trinkets to your costume. Some great things would be your grandmother’s favorite brooch or tiara or your ancestral jewelry. If your spouse gifted you special pieces of jewelry when he proposed or as a gift for a special occasion, use them. They can make the Indian bridal dresses very romantic and sentimental. Best of all, when you look at your wedding pictures years later, these little trinkets will bring your romance alive.
Last but not the least, create your own wedding website and flaunt it on social networking sites, electronic invites and traditional invitations!
