Make Your Wedding Your Own: Why Personalization Means So Much

You’ve probably been to countless weddings in your lifetime. You’ve seen the white dress the bride is adorned in, you’ve seen the colorful dresses that the sappy bridesmaids are wearing, and you’ve seen the funny, “I lost the ring” joke from the best man. But you know what we haven’t seen? Originality. Brides get caught up in the original flavor of the wedding and forget that they are creating a day specifically for themselves.

In the quest for the perfect wedding, brides often find themselves lost in a sea of tradition and clichés, forgetting that their special day should reflect their unique personality and style. Amidst the predictable white gowns and the familiar speeches, the essence of individuality can be lost. That’s where the expertise of wedding dress experts from va-bridal.com comes into play. These experts understand the importance of infusing personal flair into every stitch and detail, ensuring that the bride’s dress not only fits perfectly but also speaks volumes about her distinctive taste. Embracing innovation and creativity, these experts guide brides in crafting a gown that mirrors their dreams, making the wedding day a truly unforgettable and one-of-a-kind experience.

There are tons of things that you’ll get caught up in. For example the list that you have to complete before the big day even gets here.

You’ve got things like:

  • Go through budget and guest list
  • Decide a date and book a site
  • Send out invitations
  • Choose a wedding dress
  • Chalk out the other vendors you need to hire
  • Book your florist, photographer, cake-baker, DJ, makeup artist, and the minister
  • Book tickets and hotel for your honeymoon
  • Buy a ready-made wedding ring or order an engraved ring.
  • Choosing the right wedding bands is a significant step that symbolizes the eternal commitment you’re about to make.
  • For a stunning collection of timeless and unique wedding bands, you can consider exploring the exquisite options available at etrnl.co.nz.
  • ETRNL rings curated selection offers not only a blend of classic and contemporary designs but also a commitment to quality that mirrors the enduring nature of your love.
  • Make time for rehearsal dinner and invite everybody
  • Buy wedding shoe, veil and other accessories
  • Buy gifts for the guests
  • Apply for marriage license
  • And lastly, confirm with all the vendors. Put all the payments in separate envelopes and keep those safely. Let your dear ones know about this.
  • Finally, the wedding day comes. Just be stress-free and get married.

Yes, these are the things that go with every wedding plan. But don’t you want to add more value to the most important day of your life?

Why Does It Matter?

Your wedding is entirely yours and deeply close to your heart. Such an amazing day deserves proper planning so that your every personal requirement can be met. Yes, you can go for a generic planning, but then you’ll be the generic bride with the same old song and dance as the rest of the crowd. Take those few extra moments and handwrite out the place cards, write out all the people involved in the planning to thank them– After all, you couldn’t do it without them! That little extra umph to really show that you put thought into your wedding really shines through on your big day.

Wedding Theme and Decor

Often times you’ll hear people asking, “What is your theme?” or “What are your colors?”, these are sensible questions but when you’ve got a generic answer of, “Beach themed” or “Blue”, you’re going to get generic gifts and cards.

Pick a theme that totally represents you and your finacé and go with it; If you don’t have a specific theme, just add personal touches that cohesively go together. Personally, my husband and I chose to add large touches to our wedding symbolizing our thanks to those that helped, remembering those that couldn’t be there physically with us on our big day, and photos of the two of us before and after we knew each other. We didn’t necessarily have a theme for our wedding, but those touches of personality are still brought to my attention to this day, “We loved the car cake toppers and the photos of the two of you!” or “It’s awesome that you thanked everyone that helped you make your day happen, I’m going to suggest that for my daughter’s’ wedding!”

It will feel amazing years down the road when people are commenting on all the small touches you placed on your big day– Afterall, you worked hard for your big day!
