Making Your Wedding Day, YOUR Wedding Day!

Coming up with ways to make your wedding day unique is a challenge that all brides and grooms go through when planning their big day. With so many wedding blogs full of creative concepts and a whole world of different inspirations on Pinterest, it’s hard to know what to do to create a day that celebrates you as a couple. 

To make things a little easier, we’ve done the leg work for you and compiled a list of the top five things that you can do to make your day distinctively yours!

Create a Signature Cocktail

So what makes a cocktail “signature”? Some couples choose a recipe using their favourite spirit, others choose a drink that matches their wedding colours, or it can be the drink you had together on your first date. Above all, the signature cocktail for your wedding should be a drink you both actually enjoy the taste and look of. It should be a drink that you’re excited to share with your guests, and one that you’ll be eager to have on your anniversary for years to come. Sometimes couples decide to have two signature cocktails instead of a joint wedding cocktail -the bride chooses one and the groom chooses one. Either way a signature cocktail is a great way for you to have something totally unique to you as a couple, and of course you can have lots of fun naming them!

Monogram Your Veil

This small detail is a great way to add something special to your day and make your veil feel exclusive and personal to you. Whether you choose to have your new initials, a wedding crest or a special emblem on your veil this new trend, led by celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Poppy Delevingne, is the perfect intimate touch to ensure that you feel like one in a million and completely unique as you walk down the aisle. 

Personalise a Colouring Book 

What's great about this idea is as well as being a cute way to bring another personal touch to your day, it's also an ideal practical gift to keep your younger guests (and even some of the older ones) busy during the wedding breakfast! There are lots of great design options to suit different styles of wedding and you can even choose what you want inside, whether it be bursting with fun wedding related activities or you choose to keep it simple with a colouring book that shows you and your partners love story! 

Use Fun Fact Napkins

Add some fun to your napkins, by personalising them with fun facts about the happy couple. Facts can be anything from where you had your first date to the story of the proposal, your guests will love learning more about you, plus it becomes an added challenge for them to find all of the facts on different napkins around the room! 

Give Out Soundtracks Of Your Love Story

Give your guests something personal to you to take home with them - a personalised CD. Choose to fill the album with songs you both love, songs from your wedding day or even a mix of both. This is a lovely touch to finish your day and make sure the magic of your day continues way after the honeymoon.
