Everyone wants their wedding day to be one-of-a-kind, but coming up with truly unique wedding ideas that impress attendees can be a daunting wedding planning task.
From forward-thinking fashion moments to wedding decor that takes everyone’s breath away, incorporating unique wedding ideas into your big day is a surefire way to ensure your attendees never forget the fun they had at your wedding.
Top Tips for Planning Unique Ideas You’ll Love
Let Your Shared Hobbies Inspire You
If you’re grasping at straws and simply can’t come up with a totally original idea for your special day, look no further than the activities that bring you and your partner joy. “Think about what you both love and if there are experiences you have had together that you would want to relive or incorporate,” suggests Diana Lin of Cóllectives by Diana. “I take inspiration from my travels, from art and fashion. It’s always a great starting point as it can help guide you the rest of the way. Don’t think about what’s normal or traditional but think about what makes your day uniquely yours.” Virginia Frischkorn, wedding planner and owner of Bluebird Productions and Bluebird in a Box concurs. “Think of activities you’ve done as a couple that have brought you the most joy. Recreate that for your guests so they can have a peek into what makes you happiest. Genuine moments/experiences are what create the strongest bonds.”
Keep Practicality in Mind
While the sky is truly the limit with unique wedding ideas, do keep in mind that ideas need to be feasible for you and your wedding planner.
While some ideas may look cool, it can be hard to pull them off on a large scale during a wedding day. Ashley Mason of Saunter Weddings notes that taper candles are one such idea that looks great, but isn’t the most practical for a large wedding reception.
“Ever since the boom of Pinterest, photos of mass taper candles have been in inspiration folders across the board.
As beautiful as they always are, many indoor venues don’t allow open flames and require candles to be enclosed for safety. It is always a good idea to check with the venue’s decor policy before booking! Make sure your heart-set ideas can be made possible there before signing the contract.”
