7 ways to personalise your day

Published 12th September 2013

Express yourselves as a couple and add those all important special little touches to your wedding with these creative ideas and tips. 

1. Showcase who you are in unexpected ways

Share your interests, profession or talents with your guests by adding little touches to aspects of your day. For a couple who are teachers, use apples in your wedding decor. Love to travel? Why not name tables after cities you have traveled to together?

2. Thanks!

Choose wedding favours that reflect you - your favourite tea, chocolates or scented candle. For something extra special, a personal hand-written message always goes a long way. 

3. Family ties

Honour your parents or grandparents by incorporating elements of their wedding into your wedding. Share pictures from their wedding albums or have the same flowers in your wedding bouquet as your mother did.

4. Save the date

Find clever ways to share important dates like when you first met, your first date and when you got engaged. A cute way to do this is by serving wines from these particular years accompanied by the story of that special time.  

5. Furry friends

Everyone knows that pets are a part of the family, so why not let them join in on the celebration? Have a friend or family member walk your pet down the aisle and include them in your wedding photographs. 

6. Be my guest

Create a guest book that makes your guests feel a part of your big day. Have them sign a meaningful object rather than a traditional book or ask them to leave a message of advice for the happy couple. A photo booth is a great way to capture the days memories and a photo of every guest makes a nice addition to your guest book. 

7. Fun and games

Get creative and make your own wedding games or bride and groom trivia for your guests to enjoy during the reception.
