Putting Your Quirky Little Twists On Your Wedding Day Festivities

Putting Your Quirky Little Twists On Your Wedding Day Festivities
Years ago it was unacceptable. Weddings are formal affairs, but lately they're getting some personality. Couples are tossing tradition and making their wedding distinctly their own.
Some brides are opting to wear shoes the same color as her bridesmaid dresses. Some brides are opting for chocolate frosting on their wedding cake tinted various shades. One groom had a love of flight. At the wedding the groom's cake took the shape of a plane and compasses served as escort cards. An outdoors loving couple may decide to hold their wedding outside in a field with the reception being held in a building or barn. A couple into the Civil War era may opt to hold their ceremony at a historic bed and breakfast that was once a home built or lived in during that time. One couple were beer enthusiasts. They sent out save-the-date cards in the shape of coasters and gave personalized beer glasses as favors at the reception. A bride had a love for gardening, she gave tulip bulbs in elegant gift bags. It has also become very popular to include cultural traditions into the ceremony & reception.
How do you decide what to incorporate into the theme of your special day? The best thing to do is think about your ideas, visualize the big picture and discuss it with your wedding coordinator/ director and ask their opinion. Once you have looked carefully at each option and have discussed it with all of the decisions makers for your event (after all if someone else is helping you pay for the wedding they do have input) you must decide what you feel will make you happiest on your wedding day and go with it.

Armistead Events wedding coordinators/directors are experienced at helping brides incorporate personalized style and cultural traditions into weddings.

If you are a bride who has included something special into the theme of your day, or if you know someone who has please share it with us and our readers.
