If you plan to get married this spring, you’ll want to plan a perfect day. You’ll only have one chance to make your wedding day the perfect reflection of who you and your beloved are. When preparing your wedding theme, begin with an internet search – as statistics show more than 90% of brides do. If you want to make a statement at your wedding, here are six ideas that will make your day unique.
1. Take Your Day Outdoors
A springtime wedding means lots of beautiful natural scenery decorating your backyard or a local park. Since statistics show that 35% of weddings are held outside, many wedding themes can easily lend themselves to an outdoor location. It’s a good idea to rent a large tent in case the weather doesn’t cooperate. For your backdrop, you can hang a large piece of fabric in the backyard and drape it with flowers, or heart-shaped balloons.
2. Choose a Dress That’s Uniquely You
Your wedding dress is part of the statement you’ll make. You may love the idea of a traditional wedding dress – but you don’t have to let tradition be your only guide. Your wedding dress doesn’t have to be white and lacy; it also doesn’t have to be a dress. If you want to emulate the style of a movie character or literary heroine, there’s no reason you can’t.
3. Use Flowers to Illustrate Your Statement
Weddings and flowers go together, and choosing flowers by their color and appearance can emphasize the statement your wedding makes. You can place tiny lily buds and miniature daisies in flowery lines as table decorations and use mini bouquets and small flower garlands. If you prefer a bolder wedding style, choose peonies and dahlias to make splashes of color all around the wedding site. You can continue your flower theme in the colors of your tablecloths, as well as in the clothes worn by the wedding party.
4. Let the Lights of Your Wedding Shine
Just as it does for a stage show, the lighting you choose can enhance the statement you make at your wedding. You can string white or pastel fairy lights on your backdrop and around the walls or outer boundaries of the venue. The little bulbs will cast a romantic spell and twinkle like enchanted stars. If you want a more unique appearance, try antique lanterns or soft stage lights.
5. Transport the Wedding Party in Style
If you’re having the ceremony in a different place than the reception, choose a special way for the wedding party and both sets of parents to ride between the two locations. An old-fashioned wedding might call for a horse-drawn carriage. Limousines are another stylish way to travel. After all, weddings – along with parties or high school events – account for 40% of the revenue earned by the limousine industry.
6. Make the Day Uniquely Yours
You and your beloved are unique, so the statement you make at your wedding can be as unique. To add to the festive atmosphere of the reception, you can light up sparklers at a nighttime wedding or encourage guests to blow soap bubbles at an afternoon wedding. If your wedding outfits are elegant and formal, you can add elegant elbow-length gloves for the ladies. If you prefer a quirkier accessory for the wedding party, you can pick out some matching eyeglasses that will be fun and meaningful to the two of you.
Making a statement at your wedding will allow you to make your special day whatever you want it to be. Make your day as exquisite and perfect as you deserve it to be. You can arrange anything from a small, intimate wedding at home or an elaborate party at a first-class venue. You can perfectly express who you are as you pledge yourself to the person you love.
