When you start planning your wedding, the number of options available to you can seem endless. However, many couples stick with the traditional looks, tastes, and ceremonies usually associated with a wedding. But if you want to make your wedding stand out, then choosing a couple of things to mix it up can help your big day be as memorable for your guests as it is for you. Here are some fantastic suggestions that might make your wedding stand out. 

Change Up Your Drink Selection

Bottles of wine on every table are generous and often delicious if paired well with the meal. But at a large wedding, it is unlikely that everyone would pick wine as their tipple of choice. Not everyone likes wine, and the same is true for expensive bottles of champagne. By adding some alternatives, you can help your wedding stand out while catering to every taste. You could hire a margarita machine, or a cocktail mixer, who can mix your guest’s favorite drinks in style. 

Unique Venue Choices

If you have been to the same hotel for multiple weddings, then it is no wonder that your memory begins to blur a little. By picking a unique setting, your wedding will always stand out. Choose a venue with oodles of character, and you will set the tone for the entire day. For instance, if you pick a landmark wedding venue that has beautiful art deco features, then you are inviting your guests to step into a world reminiscent of The Great Gatsby. Style, glitz, and glamour will be the words that spring to mind when your guests recall the day and remember the glorious surroundings. 

The Ceremony Can Be Personal 

Personalizing a wedding ceremony might be an obvious way to make your wedding stand out, but it can often be forgotten about in the buzz of organizing everything else. If you are religious then there will be practices you should observe, but you can always ask the religious elder conducting the ceremony what you can personalize. Perhaps you could sing your favorite songs instead of a hymn. You could mix your readings up so that you have one from a religious text, but another could be a poem or song lyrics that are dear to you. If there are traditions that don’t suit you, ask about removing them and replacing them with an alternative. If the master of the ceremony has conducted lots of weddings, they may relish the chance to mix it up a little. 

It Doesn’t Need To Be A Band

If you are not a couple who instantly want to strut the floor when their favorite song plays, a band might not be right for your wedding. There are lots of people out there who might be embarrassed just by the idea of dancing in front of others. If you identify with this, then a first dance, with every guest watching you, might be excruciating. But just because other weddings have bands does not mean you need to follow that trend. There are many other entertainers you could choose from. You could hire a magician or even a group of stand-up comics who could do a few sets throughout the evening. If you have a favorite movie, hire a projector screen and stick it on. It might be that the different entertainment makes your day a refreshing change of pace from other weddings.
