Your wedding day is one of the days you will remember forever. It’s one of the few events nowadays that still merits a physical photo album, for example. If you want those photos to look as good as they will on the day, you will be looking for timeless additions to your wedding that will add a little bit more magic to your magical day.
Look at our ideas for you to add a little bit of personality that will last forever in your mind. They are little things that you might have overlooked while concentrating on the flowers and the dress, but they will stick out like a sore thumb if there is no thought put into them on the day.
Centerpieces
The centerpiece is where you can put a bit of personality into your wedding, but you’ll need to think about something that will last.
There have been centerpieces that simply are a pretty addition to the style of the wedding, usually using the same flowers as the rest of the venue, but others like to say something about the couple.
Think about something you and your partner have in common. There have been weddings that feature a TARDIS with flowers spilling out the top or candles held in the bottom because the bride and groom binge watch it when they’re home.
You can, also, create centerpieces around your differences. Juxtapose items related to football and makeup, for example, to showcase how you are Yin and Yang.
Dining and glassware
It’s not the first thing you think of when it comes to wedding décor, but your plates, glasses and silverware will feature in a lot of your photos. Your plates and bowls, for example, will all be in the background of photos of your dinner, especially the ones taken by guests throughout the meal. Think about what styles will go with the overall look of the venue and your wedding style before you buy any.
Your glasses are likely to be in a lot of photos, with your guests toasting to your happy future, your family members making speeches, and you and your partner doing the iconic linked arm photo with a glass of champagne.
Make sure your photos are the classiest they can be – stemless glass champagne flutes add a touch of class to any event, and a permanent reminder would be to see them in the photos. A modern update on a timeless item, these champagne flutes will sparkle through all your photos.
Wedding favors
Wedding favors allow your guests, rather than you, to remember your day forever. You can send your guests home with a little bag of small gifts for them to keep and remember your day again.
You can offer place settings with your guest’s names on them, making for a stylish addition to your photos, as well as a little something your guests can keep.
The key to all wedding favors, however, is personalization. Chocolates with you and your partner’s names on them, pencils with your guest’s names on them, etc. Make sure that it’s not something that can be simply tossed in the bin with personalization.
