  1. Customized Vows: A special detail that is increasingly more common within the last couple of years is consider writing your own vows to exchange during your ceremony – or a private moment together just after your first look. Personalized vows allow you to express your love and commitment in your own words, adding a heartfelt and intimate touch to your wedding day.
  2. Signature Cocktails: I love seeing the creativity with not only a signature cocktail but it’s amazing drink names – and signage too! Create signature cocktails that reflect your favorite flavors and personalities as a couple. Whether it’s a classic cocktail with a unique twist or a drink inspired by your favorite vacation destination, serving signature cocktails adds a fun and personalized element for your guests to enjoy.
  3. Family Heirlooms: Incorporate family heirlooms or sentimental items into your wedding day decor. By displaying cherished family photos, wearing a piece of jewelry passed down through generations or using a vintage cake topper from your grandparents’ wedding, these add a special family connection and reminds us of those special memories of years/celebrations past.
  4. DIY Decor: Get creative and crafty by incorporating DIY decor elements into your wedding day. From handmade centerpieces and hand-painted signs to homemade favors and personalized table settings, DIY decor adds a personal and unique touch to your wedding decor while also showcasing your creativity and personality.
  5. Meaningful Music: Choose songs that hold special meaning to you as a couple for key moments throughout your wedding day – such as your first dance, ceremony processional and reception entrance. Whether it’s a song that played during your first date or one that always gets you both on the dance floor, selecting meaningful music adds an extra layer of emotion and sentimentality to your celebration.
  6. Personalized Stationery: Invest in custom designed wedding stationery that reflects your wedding theme, colors and personalities as a couple. From save the dates and invitations to ceremony programs and thank-you cards, personalized stationery sets the tone for your wedding day and adds a cohesive and elegant touch to your overall aesthetic.
  7. Unexpected Surprises: Surprise your guests with unexpected moments throughout your wedding day. Whether it’s a surprise performance, a choreographed dance routine or a late night snack bar featuring your favorite treats, incorporating unexpected surprises adds an element of excitement and delight!


Incorporating personal touches into your wedding day is a wonderful way to infuse your celebration with meaning, personality, and love. By incorporating these creative ideas and making your wedding truly your own, you’ll create a day that reflects your unique love story and creates lasting memories for you and your guests.
