Off-Beat Wedding Ideas

By Ryker Crogan


Wedding is an auspicious day for everyone involved. Emotions get better of everyone at this ceremony and it is imperative to have everything as perfect as possible. There are many sentimental Wedding ideas. The notes double as place cards and give your guests a sweet surprise as they take their seats. Have the lyrics of your first dance song overlaid on your favourite photo from your first dance together.

Add your favourite quotes about love on your table numbers. Incorporate the lyrics of your first dance song on your cake. Dress up your wedding cake with edible photos of you two together. Use your favourite Bible verse or line from a song or poem as your cake topper. Following are few other sentimental Wedding ideas that would make the ceremony a memorable experience for one and all.

Ceremony Ideas: For a one-of-a-kind keepsake, hire an artist to paint your wedding ceremony as it happens. Craft a custom box for your wedding rings; not only will it look adorable when your ring bearer carries it down the aisle, but you can use it to hold your rings long after you say "I do." Instead of having your guests toss bird seeds or flower petals as you leave the ceremony, toss something meaningful to you and your family - this couple used wheat from the groom's family farm. Create a signature drink that appeals to both of your palates, and name it a portmanteau of your names. Put the reasons why you love each other on display. After the wedding, hang these in your bedroom for a daily reminder of your love for each other.

Personalized Fashion: Embroider your wedding date into the hem of your dress using blue thread - the perfect "something blue." Or, take it a step further by adding your monogram as well. Another fun way to use your monogram - embroider it on your veil! Before you get dressed, your photographer will likely want to get a few shots of your dress on a hanger. Make sure your hanger is wedding-worthy! Don't forget about your getting-ready clothes, too. We love this monogrammed button-down, complete with the wedding date on the cuff. Surprise your groom with an embroidered message on the back of his tie or on his pocket square. Honour your family's heritage with custom map cufflinks. Personalize your wedding-day shoes by stencilling your new married name on the heels. Include a family heirloom in your wedding, like this Celtic loving cup.

Flower Girls and Pets: Snap a precious photo of you and your flower girl, and save it to give to her on her own wedding day! Put a personal touch on your flower girl's dress by adding her monogram. Include your dog in your engagement photos with a cheeky sign. Your dog is a part of the family - show his important role in your wedding photos! Snap a photo of the bridesmaids showing how they each met the bride. Give each of your bridesmaids a clutch with a sewn-in message inside. After the wedding, they'll think of you every time they use it. Take a more homespun approach by creating a garland of paper hearts with reasons why you love each other. Display it above the dessert display or near your guest book.
