Your Day Your Way

Nowadays, couples find it tough to make their wedding different to everyone else's. Everyone wants their wedding to be special and unique, but everyone has a budget and you don't want to go over the top! Here we have compiled a list of simple yet unforgettable little gestures to ensure your wedding stands out.

Balloons

If you're having an outdoor wedding or your guests have to walk from the ceremony to the reception why not provide each guest with a helium balloon that matches your colour scheme. It's a great way to ensure no one gets lost along the way and if you get everyone to release the balloons at the same time when you reach the drinks reception, it makes a great photo and an even better memory.

From the Heart

A really nice idea is to hand-write a note to each guest on the inside of their place cards or tuck the note into a mini glass bottle. This one will take time and whether it’s what the person means to, your favourite memory together or something you admire about them, it is definitely a gesture your guests will treasure. Ideal for smaller more intimate weddings.

"Every Step of The Way"

Your aisle runner is one way to show off your love story! Why not create a timeline with pictures and dates all the way up the aisle? I guarantee you, there won't be a dry eye in the house! Beginning at the bottom of the aisle with your first date leading to the wedding date at the top of the aisle, where your partner will be waiting for you!

Cake

Wedding toppers are becoming very popular lately! Some couples get mini versions of themselves made out of icing, which looks super cute! You can also get your initials or “Mr. and Mrs. (Surname)” on top of the cake.

Favours

If you're on a budget or favours were the last thing on your list continue reading. A good idea is to put some home-made (or bought!) cookies, cupcakes or chocolates into clear bags, tie them with colourful ribbon and make your own labels! It's a small gesture that your guests will love and can nibble on after all their dancing or on their way home!

Happy Feet

After hours of dancing your guests feet will get quite tired (especially in heels!) so why not supply a pair of flip-flops or slippers for each of your guests. You could leave them in a basket or customised wooden box at the door to ensure that they grab a pair on their way in.

Dressing the Bridesmaids SAME OR DIFFERENT

May 17, 2024
Traditionally, bridesmaids have worn the same dress to create a cohesive and uniform look. This practice dates back to ancient times when bridesmaids were tasked with protecting the bride from evil spirits or potential suitors. By dressing identically, it was believed that the bridesmaids could confuse any ill-intentioned individuals and ensure the bride’s safety. Over time, this tradition evolved into a way to symbolise the unity and support of the bridal party. By wearing the same dress, bridesmaids visually demonstrate their commitment to the bride and her special day. It also helps to create a sense of harmony and balance in the overall wedding aesthetic. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more individuality and personal expression in weddings. Many brides are now opting for a more modern approach, allowing their bridesmaids to wear different dresses that suit their individual styles and body types. This change reflects a desire to celebrate the unique personalities and preferences of each bridesmaid, while still maintaining a cohesive look.
