Unique Ideas to Make Your Wedding Day Simply Yoursby boston E Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with sticking to the elegant and classic storybook wedding, but if you're like me- you think, I want something new. I want something people will remember. I want my wedding to be unlike any other. Achieving the stylish, chic and uniquely yours wedding is not impossible and with some creativity and time for planning everything you've ever dreamed of can be done. The following are some tips, tricks, advice, and must do's for planning the wedding event of the year that has your name written all over it.1. AnnouncementYour wedding announcement should reflect the style of wedding your hoping to achieve. Make sure you start the "uniqueness" out right with a chic wedding picture and out of the box announcement. City photo shoots always turn out great! If you live near a big city search the internet for a photographer in the city, i.e. Salt Lake photography, and talk to them about planning an outrageous photo shoot. Make sure to do your research before hiring a photographer. Ask to look at their portfolio and see if their style matches what you're imagining. Another important thing to do is start looking online and in bridal magazines for pictures that you like (style, poses, angle, setting, etc.) This will give your photographer a better idea of what you'd like from them. 2. LocationMake sure to book the location for your wedding early on. Venues can book up pretty quickly and if you want to have options, start looking early! Let the venue reflect your personality and the style of your wedding. Whether you have it in a warehouse, a barn, a chic museum or reception hall, at the beach, at the top of a lighthouse or on the roof of a skyscraper, think outside the box.
3. FoodFood is a great way to compliment the uniqueness of your wedding day. Go for funky hors d'oeuvres served to guests by waiters walking around the reception. (i.e. shrimp cocktail, soup shots, watermelon gazpacho, and spoon hors d'oeuvres -- sauced items passed in spoons, sometimes scallops, shrimps, meatballs, etc.) You can also serve drinks the same way- in unique glasses and flavors. 4. BouquetsThese days bridal and brides' maids bouquets can literally be anything from single flower bouquets to bouquets with jewels, berries and fruit. Talk to your florist about options and then start looking through magazines and online for ideas. Your florist should be able to recreate anything you show them. 5. Wedding CakeBe creative with the cake and let it reflect the theme of the evening. Think bold colors, unique fruit, tropical flowers and chic designs. Your cake can literally be a creation straight from your imagination. If you can find a picture of what you'd like it to look like, great. If not, try to sketch up what you'd like it to look like and give very detailed instructions to the pastry chef.
