Your wedding day is a celebration of your love story, and there’s so many ways that you can make it perfect. One of the best ways to make it truly yours is by adding a touch of quirkiness to the mix.
Whether you are whimsical by nature or you simply want to surprise your guests, breaking away from tradition can make your special day unforgettable for all the right reasons. From unexpected fashion choices to bold decor, here are five ways to bring some unique charm to your big day.
Say No To Traditional Bouquets
If you’re looking to make a dramatic statement with your wedding florals, black flowers are a surprisingly elegant and edgy twist. Deep black dahlias, Calla lilies, or even dyed roses paired with Moody greenery can really bring out the quirk of your wedding day. They’re perfect for gothic romances or celestial themes, or simply couples who want to stand out. Incorporate them into centrepieces or boutonnieres to echo the look throughout your venue. It’s one small touch that has a massive impact and it really does set the tone.
Rewrite Your Dress Code
Skip out on the usual white gown or black tux if it doesn’t feel like you consider a coloured wedding dress, perhaps a dusty blue or a metallic hue. Colour grooms and wedding parties can also embrace colour, unique fabrics or even costume elements if you’re going all in on a theme celebration. You can push your personality through your accessories with embroidered boots, statement jewellery or even a quirky Cape. When you dress in a way that reflects who you are, your confidence really will shine.
Choose A Different Song.
People expect to hear Canon in D or the wedding March, but you don’t have to walk down the aisle to those. Pick your favorite acoustic rock anthem or a soundtrack from a beloved movie to be quirky. Some choices can make the ceremony more emotional, more fun, and more memorable. And best of all, it makes it more.
Theme Your Food
You can serve up something at your wedding that your guests won’t expect. Late night grilled cheese bars, a cereal buffet for brunch weddings, or a custom cocktail menu named after your pet or inside jokes can add flair to your reception. It’s a fun way to tell your love story through your menu, and it gives your guests something to talk about. These kinds of stations are also incredibly great for social media if you’re looking to post your wedding online.
Be Unconventional With Your Exit
You don’t have to throw rice when you can throw paper planes. You don’t have to throw petals when you can throw nothing and just blow bubbles instead. Ride off on a tandem bicycle or a retro convertible or even a horse drawn carriage if it fits your vibe. Some couples have danced out to their favorite upbeat track, while others have chosen A sparkler tunnel or a confetti cannon moment. Whichever way you choose to leave your venue, make it a celebration of your unique style as a couple.
