Off-Beat Wedding Ideas

By Ryker Crogan


There are many sentimental Wedding ideas to make the ceremony a memorable event. Name your tables after destinations you've visited together, and include your favourite photo from that spot. Name your tables after places that have special meaning to you as a couple, and include a caption explaining why that place is significant.

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.

Sweet Ideas for Parents: If there's no chance that you or a sibling would ever wear your mother's wedding dress, ask if you can add a sentimental touch to your bouquet by wrapping a piece of her gown around the stems. Odds are that if she's kept it for so long, she'd be honoured to have you use it in your wedding, even if you aren't wearing it. You can also take a piece of your mother's wedding dress and turn it into a necklace to wear on your wedding day. And for a keepsake garter, use a piece of lace from your mom's gown. If Mom doesn't want you to cut up her gown (understandable!), put it on display instead. Gather the gowns of your future mother-in-law and your grandmothers as well, if they saved them, and display them on dress forms along the path to your ceremony. Snap a photo where you each hold up a photo from your parents' wedding.

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.

Honouring Lost Loved Ones: If your father passed away before the wedding, attach a photo of him to your shoes so that he can still walk you down the aisle. Attach photo charms of your ancestors to your bouquet. For a more hidden tribute to your deceased relative, add a locket to your bouquet. Only you need to know what's inside. Gather photos of your guests who can't be with you on your wedding day, and display them inside mason jars for a unique twist on a photo table. Add a photo charm to the groom's boutonnire. Have custom cufflinks created with your loved one's photo.
