Top Tips for Planning Unique Ideas You'll Love
Let Your Shared Hobbies Inspire You
"Look no further than the activities that bring you and your partner joy if you are grasping at straws and simply unable to come up with a completely original idea for your special day." Diana Lin of Cóllectives by Diana advises, "Think about what you both love and if there are experiences you have had together that you would want to relive or incorporate." My travels, art, and fashion all serve as sources of inspiration. It's always a good place to start because it can help you along the way. Think about what makes your day unique to you instead of what is normal or traditional." Bluebird Productions and Bluebird in a Box owner and wedding planner Virginia Frischkorn concurs. Think of two things you've done that have brought you the most happiness. Make that happen for your guests so they can see what makes you happy. The most lasting bonds are formed by genuine experiences and moments."
Keep Practicality in Mind
Although the possibilities for unique wedding ideas are truly endless, keep in mind that both you and your wedding planner must be able to implement them. Even though some concepts may appear cool, it may be challenging to implement them on a large scale during a wedding day. One such concept, according to Ashley Mason, is the use of taper candles, which look great but aren't the most practical choice for a large wedding reception. Photos of mass taper candles have been commonplace in inspiration folders ever since the rise of Pinterest. Despite their constant beauty, many indoor venues prohibit open flames and require candles to be contained for safety. Before making a reservation, it's always a good idea to check the venue's policy on decorations! Before signing the contract, ensure that your heartfelt ideas can be realized there.
