Are you planning your wedding? If so, you’re probably keen to make your day unique, and wow your guests with things they’ve never seen before. Adding personal touches to your celebration will make your day memorable. It will also ensure that your wedding reflects your personalities and the love you share. If you’re looking for ideas, look no further. Here are some perfect personal touches that will make your wedding day different.
Planning your wedding day look
Planning your look is not just all about finding the dream dress. Of course, this is essential. But there are lots of other things you may need to think about once you’ve got your dress ordered. You may be thinking about what kind of jewelry you want to wear, for example. Do you want to go for something simple and understated? Do you want to cover something old or borrowed and wear a family heirloom? Or are are you keen to make a statement with costume jewelry? One important consideration for most couples is the wedding bands. Traditionally, wedding rings are plain. But more and more people are choosing eye-catching alternatives. If you’re keen to add a personal touch to your look, you could design your own rings, or have plain rings engraved. You could have the date of your wedding inscribed on the inside, for example. For ideas, take a look at sites like Israel Diamonds. If you’re buying a ring, make sure you try it on with your engagement ring.

Ordering invitations
Your invitations are an excellent way to set the tone of your wedding day and give your guests hints and clues about the theme or style. When you’re ordering invitations, there are all kinds of different options available. You can order from a template, or create your own designs. If you go for the latter, you can come up with a novel idea, and make your invites personal. As well as adding your names to your invitations, you could also create a custom-made stamp or seal to go on the envelopes.

Personalizing your ceremony
The ceremony is the most important part of your wedding day. This is an ideal time to express your feelings and celebrate your relationship. Write your own vows, or choose readings or poems that mean something to you. Think carefully about who you choose to sign the register and do the readings. It’s always nice to ask those who mean most to you to get involved.

Making your reception unique
There are lots of different ways you can add personal touches to your reception. Start by thinking about favors and your table plan. Choose table names based on things you love or something that has a special meaning for both of you. Perhaps you’ll go for your favorite songs or places you’ve visited together. When you’re making up favors, order customized stickers with your names and the date online. Or go a step further, and treat every guest to a bespoke place card or gift. You could design and print a card with your friend’s name on and a bit about them, for example. Or you could fill miniature bottles with each guest’s favorite tipple and add a personalized label.
When the party is in full flow, and everybody is on the dancefloor, bring out a rack of bespoke flip-flops. You could add your names or the date of the wedding, for example. This will enable female guests to shake off their heels and dance the night away in comfort. Your guests will also have another memento to take home with them.
After the wedding day, encourage friends and family to share their photos and videos using a special hashtag. All you have to do is go on Instagram, click on the hashtag, and you’ll see every photo that has been uploaded.
