Breaking Tradition: Fun and Unique Wedding Ideas

Over the years, we've helped plan and coordinate numerous weddings; with them came so many unique and fun ideas that broke with tradition to incorporate family, fun, and your personality into their BIG days! Check out our list of fun and unique wedding ideas that you should consider for your special day.

1. Consider a Flower Grandma, Dude, or Gal

So many weddings nowadays are steering away from the traditional flower girl for a more original appointee. Want to make your grandma a part of the wedding? Ask her to be your "flower grannie" or select a brother, sister, or close friend as your "flower dude/gal." Some other variations on this include beer boys (a basket of beers? Yes, please!), a flower baby (to be towed in via a super cute flower-filled wagon), or a petal pet (strap an empty tissue box full of flower petals to your favorite doggo and watch the petals fly). No matter what you choose, these variations allow you to incorporate close family or friends in your processional.

2. Wedding Cake Alternative

Are you looking for something besides a wedding cake for your dessert option? Say no more! Consider a cupcake tower, donut wall, or dessert bar for you and your guests to indulge in. In addition to a dessert station, you can still opt for a tiny cake and do a smash cake content with your new spouse. Ask your guests to put money into a jar or Venmo account; whoever gets the most money receives a cake smashed in their face by their spouse.

3. Original Unity Ceremonies

Looking for a special unity ceremony but want to be different? Unity candles are great, but if you want something unique, consider a unity puzzle, tree watering, log cutting, or even a rope-tying ceremony to bring your special flair to the event.

4. Guest Book Alternatives

Do you want to remember your guests in a unique and nostalgic way? Invest in an audio guest book, where guests can leave you a special message you can keep forever. Some other options include having guests sign Giant Jenga pieces, Polaroids of themselves, or even a photo mat you can place in front of your favorite wedding photo in your home. All these ideas and more are fun ways to get your guests to leave you special notes you can keep forever!
