So, your big day is coming up, and you want it to be perfect. Who wouldn’t? A wedding is an exciting time of celebration and love. With so many wedding ideas and DIY wedding decorations to choose from, it can be hard to add your own personality to your wedding.

Do you feel like you can’t find anything unique? Do you think that everything has already been done before? Don’t worry. Here are some tips on adding your personality to your wedding and having a unique and unforgettable time.

Combine Colors

Do you and your partner have a favorite color? Perhaps your partner’s is green, and yours is blue. Depending on the colors you both love, you can choose a color scheme for your wedding that combines the two.

Mint green and light blue mixed with white is an adorable color scheme. You can add it to your tablecloths, flower arrangements, and even the clothing for the bridesmaids or groomsmen. Whatever you choose, make sure it has significance to both you and your partner.

Have Family Help

Considering the stress of planning a wedding, you don’t want to do it alone. Call in the help of relatives and family friends to give you tips. You can also make personalized wedding favors for those in your family, including customized nameplates or a napkin with their names embroidered.

Another great idea is to include your family in the ceremony by allowing them to leave sweet notes or photos. Some people have a photo booth, and they add the pictures of the family members and friends to an album after the event.

You can also hire a wedding painter, who will paint you after your wedding, including the guests. You can have your first dance painted or the ceremony itself. It’s a beautiful and unique memory that you can keep with you forever.

Consider Your Favorite Foods

You don’t have to go traditional when it comes to food. Consider both your and your partner’s favorite foods. Perhaps you both really love ranch (don’t judge, some of us do!) If that’s the case, you can have a ranch bar at your wedding. Fill a chocolate fountain with ranch and add many veggies and snacks to dip in it! It’s a unique and delicious idea.

If you or your partner comes from a culture with specific traditional foods, you can combine your two cultures to create a delicious blend of food options. For example, you could have one table of Mexican-style food and the other table with Indian-style food. Your guests will love experimenting with food they’ve never tried before.

Add “Something Borrowed”

Some brides decide to bring something borrowed or passed down through the family to their wedding. Some use the same wedding dress their mother wore or take a cutting from their mom’s dress and add it to their own. Some also use wedding dress rental companies.

Some brides use earrings that their great-grandmother passed down. No matter what it is, include your family in your ceremony by adding something that has personal significance to you.

Consider a Theme

Some couples share a love for a general theme or fandom. If you are into Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, or Doctor Who, you could consider having a theme for your wedding. Themed weddings are unique and exciting. You can plan everything around the theme, including:

• Snacks
• Food
• Decorations
• Your dress/tux
• Your shoes
• The venue
• List of Wedding Hashtags

If you want a highly personalized themed wedding, it’s a good idea to go with a wedding planner that can help your vision come to life.
