Best Ways To Personalise Your Wedding

Personalised Chairs for Bride & Groom

One of the best things we've seen couples do is personalise their chairs by adding a 'bride' & 'groom' sign to them. It can be the bride and groom sign, or a sign with a name people address you as. Could be your pet name, or the name you call your spouse. It's an inexpensive way to add a touch of personalisation!

Get Washable Bride & Groom Tattoos!

A fun thing we saw at a few weddings, and hope couples could embrace in the future too is the use of washable tattoos that are customised in association with the bride and groom. It could be the couple's photo or maybe their hashtag. You can customize tattoos for yourself and your life partner, for the bride’s/bridegroom’s team, as favours for the wedding guests, the ideas are unlimited. Customised tattoos can be a bit expensive to add to your wedding, but if they fall under your budget, then why not go for it?

Custom-Made Flower Confetti Cones For Pheras

The struggle to hold flower petals and confetti during the pheras is real! But, you can make it easier for your friend and family to do so by giving them customised cones that hold the petals! They're super easy to carry and share, plus look super cute. You can ask your planner or decorator to arrange them for you, or even DIY them. Just adding a little something like the couple's name or initials on the cone makes them personalised, which is amazing.

Add Signature Drinks On The Bar Menu

For obvious reasons, the bar is the focal point of many receptions. And like any other element of your wedding, it’s a chance to make a statement and show off your style. Serve up a cocktail that has a special meaning to you both, or work with your bartenders to design your own custom concoction! You can also give your signature drink a witty name, serve “his and hers” cocktails, or create a fun sign that explains the meaning behind the beverage.

Boards With Couple's Love Story In Brief

At the centre of every wedding day is a love story. And it is at weddings when people from even far-off places come together to celebrate that love story. So, why not include it in the festivities? You could do a board with a depiction of your love story in brief. Or you could do a photo wall that holds pictures of your relationship in chronological order. It's a new idea, sure. But doesn't it sound super exciting!

Create a Photo Wall

Photo walls became all the rage in wedding decor during the pandemic for couples were trying to customise their intimate weddings with elements that were closer to their hearts. Photo walls can be used as a way to take a trip down memory lane by displaying some meaningful moments between the couples, their friends and families.  We love the idea of a dedicated photo wall or photo table, filled with significant images that tell a story from your past. This is also a beautiful place to pay tribute to any family members who are no longer able to join you on the day, by displaying a treasured photo you love to look back on.

Create a Custom Cake Topper

While we absolutely love ornately designed, beautiful wedding cakes, we just cannot get enough of customised cake toppers! Add some personality to your cake with a fun and pretty cake topper that represents you and your partner. While cake toppers are small, mostly overlooked, detail, it is an element that will add some quirk to your wedding.

Personalize Your Wedding Favours

Wedding favours are such a grey area when it comes to planning. Couples want to have them, but then the idea of them being useless trinkets lying in someone's kitchen drawer can definitely irk them out of getting said favours for the wedding. However, when they're done right, they make for a beautiful memento for your guests. Personalise your favours by creating something meaningful, useful and memorable. Plus, you can always add a touch of personalisation by putting down your initials and wedding date with them so that they remember you and your wedding!

Curate Your Own Playlist

Good music is the key to every good wedding party. And while you're definitely going to have a DJ for your wedding/reception day, having a self-curated playlist for your pre-wedding functions, like mehendi, haldi or sangeet, will definitely jazz up your celebration. Collaborate with your partner to piece together a list of songs that you can’t get enough of. Instead of filling your playlist with popular hits, stay true to your musical preferences. When your playlist reflects your true interests and love story, you and your guests will want to sing along and dance the night away. Don’t forget to create a do-not-play list as well!

Explain The Ceremony

While we've all witnessed numerous weddings in our lifetime from different cultures, we're all pretty clueless during the actual wedding ceremony. Whether it's the 7 pheras of Hindu weddings or the nikah ceremony in Islamic traditions, not many guests actually know what's happening during the ceremony. So, in a way to personalise your wedding ceremony, you can keep cute little cards on the chairs to explain the ceremony and traditions being followed, so that they can understand what is happening and why! This is especially useful for those with a lot of foreigners in the crowd.

Choose Invitations That Conveys Your Aesthetic/Story

Of course, you're going to have a wedding invitation, regardless of which kind you choose. However, if you're thinking of some customisation, you can choose to create invitation cards that are personal to you. Something that suits your aesthetic as a couple, or maybe even portrays your love story! For example, if you love travelling, then passport wedding invites might be your ideal pick. Or if you're having a seaside wedding, then an invite that relates to them will be perfect. Honestly, the options are endless!

With so many different wedding lehenga styles and concepts to choose from, it can be a real fix to pick one that will help you stand out on the d-day. Luckily, a style that's been trending like crazy these days is love story lehengas (yes, that's a real thing!). A lehenga that narrates your epic love story is one of a kind and absolutely amazing. We know, it sounds cheesy, sure. But can you imagine adding personalised elements to your lehengas like your names, your hashtags or even the location of your proposal?
