6. My future husband prefers to wear shorts and baseball hats. So we have decided to alter a tux into shorts. He will also wear a custom made baseball hat that says " I DO " on one side and " JUST MARRIED " on the other. It will be the same colors as our color scheme. I am wearing a custom made dress I designed myself to compliment his " tux". I will be barefoot with intricate beaded " slave anklets ".
7. We are having 4 flowergirls in our wedding next August, with my daughter as one of them. Instead of boys for ring bearers, we are having 2 of my nieces (both in their 20's) walk down the aisle in the same dress as the the bridesmaids, but they will be holding the wedding bands. This way they will be able to be bridesmaids as well as having the honor of carrying the rings.
8. My fiance' is 6'5 and I am 5'2 so for our wedding kiss I am going to step up on a little white footstole decorated with lace! We thought it would be cute and it would save the awkwardness of our first kiss as husband and wife.
9. Because both my father and only brother are deceased, I plan on asking my mother, who raised me and my brother by herself to
give me away. But, we don't want to leave my dad and brother out, so I plan on lighting two candles at the beginning of the ceremony, so they are there "with us". **For our table centerpieces at the reception, we are having glass bowls surrounded by light colored roses with roses floating in the bowl. Plus, there will be goldfish in the water, under the roses. It's something unusual for our guests to see when they sit down.
10. To save money, we decided to hand deliver some of our invitations. To make it a little more unique, we are going to lean on a medievil theme and roll them up like scrolls tied with ribbons matching our wedding colors.
11. A friend of mine who is getting married 2 weeks after me made the suggestion that she will have a table with a candle and
a picture of her grandfater. During the unity candle lighting, she will light the candle on the table with her grandfaters picture. It is a way to honor and remember him on her special day. My idea stems from hers only my husband to be will also have a candle on his side to honor both of our grandfathers who have passed on.
12. I got married in December and had a huge wedding. We
weren't really sure what to do for favors for the guests, but i wanted to do something unique, so we had coozies made up with our name and wedding date and two wedding bands intertwined- The coozies were black with white writing and everyone loved them. We had an open bar at the reception and so when we gave them out, everyone put there beer in them and carried them around all night. Now when we go to parties it is so neat because at least 2 people have our coozie with them and it
makes our day. I liked the idea because it is so practical and I knew people would use them. It wasn't too expensive around 350.00- we only had about 250 made for 400 guests, because not everyone comes to the reception and we didn't give them out until about 8:30pm...so only the people that were there got one and we didn't have any left. It was a great idea.
13. After we were announced husband and wife and walked up the aisle together to the back of the church, we returned back down the aisle to escort our parents out instead of having the ushers do it - our parents were surprised and everyone thought it was a great gesture.
14. My Fiance and I were in Corona-Del-Mar, on a vacation, and while cruzing a local mall we came across a neat shop. It was a
shop where you can pick your own piece of pottery, then paint it. The shop will "fire it" for you, and then you pick it up a couple days later. Well, they also had glass things you could paint. I said to my fiance that it would be neat to paint our own glasses for the wedding toast. And we did! Not only was it a cheep idea ( totaling $25.00 ), but also something we did together, and will last a life time. They turned out GREAT! More Unique Wedding Ideas Next |
