5 Ways to Make Your Wedding Individual

Almost every element of your wedding day can be personalised to suit you as a couple, but below are my favourite five ideas that are all easy and inexpensive too:

1. Creative cakes
From colourful cupcakes to towering tiered cakes there is so much choice to pick from that can reflect your style.


2. Artistic table plans
Using escort cards instead can provide so many more interesting display options and help build a theme, from hanging them on branches to writing on pebbles. Click here to take a look at our blog entry dedicated to this.


3. Serve a signature cocktail

Giving guests something unique to sip on is far more memorable than the standard drink list, design your own cocktail that is in your colour scheme and give it a fun name!


4. Bridal Thrones

Well maybe not quite thrones, but dressing the bride and groom’s chair up to stand out from the rest with real flower decorations, sashes embroidered with your initials or hire two unique style chairs.


5. Wedding programmes

You can fill your programme with lots of interesting details for guests to read as they await your arrival. Feature your favourite love quotes, include Martha Stweart's "What Tree Did You Fall From?" page or have a timeline with key dates and events through your relationship
