How to Incorporate Personal Touches Into Your Wedding Day

It’s all about the details. Your wedding is your day and you should treat it as such! Here are a few ideas to make your day that much more special:

An alternative guestbook - This is where you can get really creative.Obsessed with wine? Have each guest pen their name on a cork, and utilize this memento as a piece of décor in your home. Do you and your fiance love playing games together? Have guests sign a game board, or a personalized deck of cards. If you both love to travel you could have everyone sign on a globe or large map. 

Personalized favors - Ensure that the favors reflect who you are. Recently I coordinated a wedding where the bride and groom personalized jars of coffee beans that we set at each place setting. It was such a beautiful way to incorporate something meaningful to the couple.

Signs - What better way to welcome your guests than with a personalized welcome signage right at the entrance of your venue. Personally, I opted to share our love story with all of our guests at the entrance to our ceremony. Our sign featured the date we first met, first started dating, when I said "yes", and of course when we tied the knot. 

Signature drinks - Creating a custom drink to serve to your guests adds an extra element of personalization to your reception. Give your personalized cocktail a clever name. Design a label or recipe card that matches your signage and décor and incorporate your drink into your favor. Your bartender can help you design a drink that both tastes amazing and complements your reception.

Additions to the Wedding Dress - Wedding dresses can be personalized in a number of ways. Consider embroidering initials into one of the layers. Your seamstress can also add generational material including handkerchiefs, pieces of fabric, or jewelry to the inside of your dress. Also, an easy way to knock out the old, new, borrowed, and blue tradition.
