Fun Ways to Showcase Your Personal Style On Your Wedding Day


When you start to planning for your wedding, you are almost certainly keen to make sure that you do it right! Whether or not tradition is important to you, remember that your big day is yours to design and so it's important to make sure your own personal style comes through with the details that you choose. Here are some of the ways you can go about it. 

The Dress
One of the first places to look when you are trying to insert your own unique style into the wedding day is in the dress. After all, where better to try and make your own style known? There are a lot of things to bear in mind here, but the important first step is to make sure you know what you actually want from your dress, what you hope to look like and so on. That way, you are starting in the right way, and you are much more likely to find the right dress for you. A lot of this comes down to simply shopping around, and you should absolutely make sure that you are spending as much time on choosing your dress as possible. Think about your personal fashion and what people expect from you, and whether or not you are keen to subvert that in some way. In particular, don’t be afraid to look for options which are somewhat non-traditional, if that is what would be suitable for you. If you can do this right, you are going to find that you’re much happier with your dress choice, and you feel so much more stylish on the day.

The Invitations
Long before the wedding day itself arrives, you have to think about sending out your invitations. These are often meant to show a small taste of what people can expect on the day, especially when it comes to what kind of theme you are likely to be employing. Not only does it help them to dress up for the day itself, but it also forces you to make some decisions about your decor and so on on the day. When you are designing the invites, however, you should definitely think about trying to put your own stamp on them in some way. This could simply be a new kind of font, or a new way of writing it out, or even something like a special ribbon it comes tied up in. Whatever it is, use this as a way to display your unique style, and then the wedding day itself is going to be considerably more suited to your style too. You will also find this helps in getting people ready for what they can expect of your style on the day.

The Tablescape
One of the most important parts of any wedding day is the lunch. When you are designing the wedding day, you are going to think about what the tables look like, and there is actually a surprising amount that you need to think about here. But if you are keen to show off your style in a big way, this is yet another opportunity to do just that, and you might be amazed at how many options you have for making this your own. What’s more, you can start planning this as early as you like, as it’s an easy part of the day to organise in general. A few of the things you can look into changing for your own style include: the placemats, which you might want to have designed to your own taste in some interesting way; the crockery, which you can change as you see fit to suit your tastes, such as using fine bone china or something similar to provide a fancy effect; and the glasses, where you might want to look out for some unusually-shaped options that people are going to remember forever. With these kinds of style choices, your own style is going to come across very clearly at lunchtime.

The Venue
Of course, the venue is one of the first things you will look into, and a lot of the time you are going to be limited to timings and location and so on. But if you give yourself a head start here and you keep your wits about you, you should be able to choose a venue which speaks to your own unique style in some way or another. It could be that you have gone for something unusual such as a wedding in the woods, or something traditional which suits your personality. In either case, this is something that is going to really affect how people view the day, and how much of your own personal style ends up in the wedding day on the whole. If you are struggling to find a venue that really speaks to your style in this way, remember that a lot of it really comes down to how you choose to decorate it on the day. So you should always try to picture what the venue will look like once you have decorated it in whatever way you would ideally prefer. If you are able to keep that in mind as you search about, this should generally make your choice of venue a lot easier, and it’s always good to have as little stress as possible in a decision like this. If you can manage to get all that right, you are going to find that your wedding day is so much better suited to your own personal style. As well as making the day more memorable for your guests, it will also mean that you can enjoy it more yourself, and that you are going to feel so much happier with the whole experience.
