Your wedding flowers send a message. Your choice of colours and types will reveal a lot about you. Talk to a florist about your ideas and let them inspire you. Fabric, leather, or paper are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to real flowers. If you want your wild side to shine through, choose wild flowers! Many florists can work with you on wild flowers, textures, foliage variations, herbs, and beautiful colours. Make your flowers stand out in your wedding pictures.
- Cakes
It is important that your wedding cake be as special as the dress. This will ensure it gets as much attention. There are many cool, contemporary bakers who offer delicious treats with a modern twist. Imagine meringues of all sizes and shapes, or cakes with bright colours and unusual ingredients. There’s a cake maker who can turn your vision into reality. Handcrafted cupcakes and meringue nests are a great alternative to the heavy, traditional fruit cake.
- Boutique Wedding Shoes
If you’re not brave enough to try a different wedding dress, don’t worry. You can still change up your shoes. There are many options for wedding footwear, including custom-made shoes covered with jewels and white Dr Marten boots. You can find online boutiques that specialise in colours, materials and finishes you wouldn’t expect.
- Unique Gifts
Wedding gifts are not as important as they used to be. In the past, they were intended to be a gift that would help a newlywed couple get started in their new life. Most couples today have lived together for some time before getting married, and have the majority of home appliances they need. It’s okay to be creative when it comes to gift-giving. Give something useful like women and Mens Handmade Leather Belts from Hip and Waisted.
A clever idea would be for the couple to choose a large, expensive item they desire and guests donate smaller contributions, or “pieces”, like building a puzzle. This is a good compromise between giving them a gift that they may not want, and donating to something the couple wants. This is also a good way to level the playing field for guests as they all know that everyone is contributing towards the same goal.
