A Unique Wedding Idea Can Make Your Big Day Bigger

Wedding Idea - unique

Like most brides you would likely love to have a unique Wedding Idea that will leave your guests breathless with wonder and awe at your ingenuity and imagination. However, like the vast majority you will likely finish up with a traditional white wedding and conventional reception, although there is nothing whatsoever wrong with that.

However, if you are serious about wanting a unique Wedding Idea that your guests will always remember, rather than a more traditional and romantic ceremony, here are a few ideas that you might want to consider. If they don’t exactly get your adrenalin going, at least they might get your brain churning over so that you can adapt them suit your own preferences.

Wedding Idea - ceremony

Let’s start with the ceremony itself. You might think that there is not a lot you can do with the ceremony, since it is generally cast in stone, but that would be false for a Wedding Idea. The music for instance. You don’t need to walk down the aisle to Wagner’s ‘Here Come the Bride’, but to your own musical preference. A lot depends on the venue, of course, since a church might not take too kindly to Aerosmith, but there is no reason why you cannot walk with your father to the altar to the words of Percy Sledge’s ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’ or even Robert Burns’ ‘My Love is Like a Red Red Rose’. Alternatively find a classical piece that you love, but that is not normally played at weddings, such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

You might not agree with these choices for a Wedding Idea, but it should get you thinking, which is the objective of the suggestions. Your music for after the ceremony while walking up the aisle arm in arm with your new husband offers much more flexibility. Bryan Adams, Whitney Houston or a song that has special significance for both of you might be appropriate. Only you know what would be good for you.

Wedding Idea - reception

Now for the drive to the reception, if it is some distance away. Don’t just settle for the traditional limo for a Wedding Idea, but be creative. Think unique. If you can both ride, how about having a horse or two ready for you to leave the church on? If not, then both get on a Harley Davidson (with you and your dress in a sidecar) or even have a rickshaw or old style Sedan Chair with the best man and a helper running through town carrying you from the church to the reception venue.

Once at the reception, your centerpieces are going to be magnificent, but have you thought of a chocolate fountain for the bridal table? Not only for you of course, unless you have a couple of weeks at a health farm booked up for your honeymoon, but for all the guests during the evening. That would be particularly popular Wedding Idea with the kids, but make sure that you have enough marshmallows. And chocolate!

Wedding Idea - choices

Provide a disposable camera or two on each table for the guests to take their own photographs, and leave for you to have developed is a fun Wedding Idea. You can keep the ones you want and send them the remainder. You will get a lot of intimate shots that way: much better than a professional photographer could provide.

If you are allowing children to the reception then you could keep them busy by hiding a few gold stars around the reception area, and offer a prize for each one found. You could have entertainers such as mummers and magicians move through the crowd entertaining as they did in mediaeval times, which could be a good Wedding Idea. You could hire a comedian for the band rest period, and even have a themed reception.

Wedding Idea - alternative

A Wild West theme is always a popular Wedding Idea, with a few hired gunslingers having a shoot-off, and even perhaps challenging any of the guests to draw against them. Find out what it is really like to be called out with a gun in your holster that you are scared to draw! You can surely think of something that would be appropriate and entertaining for your guest list.

The cake too could be unusual. Forget the tiered traditional iced cake, but go for a selection of fruit pies just like mom used to make, or several tiers of individual small cakes or petit fours. Give every guest a raffle ticket at their table, and have a draw as to who is to sing or dance in front of everybody. Alternatively, use the tickets for the table centerpieces: each ticket wins a table decoration – perhaps even the chocolate fountain! If these ideas do not at least get your neurons firing with your own slant on them, or even spark off a train of thought that eventually leads to a unique wedding that every single one of your guest will remember, then perhaps you are best to stay with the traditional Wedding Idea that cannot go wrong.

Wedding Idea - conclusion

However, if you want a unique Wedding Idea that your guests will remember for ever, then perhaps these above might get your brain cells working to come up with something that will surprise even you. We all have a spark of ingenuity somewhere within us. Use yours for your wonderful day.
