6 WAYS TO PERSONALIZE YOUR WEDDING DAY
You know we are HUGE fans of “doing you” for your wedding day! After all, it is YOUR day.
There are many ways to personalize your wedding day, but we’ve compiled a list of 6 ways to make your wedding feel like you! (& bonus ways at the end!)
Let’s go…
Write your own vows!
You can’t get more personal than that!
Bonus: Some officiants will even let you write or put together your own ceremony!
Choose meaningful music!
Scrap the traditional wedding songs — go for the ones that are sentimental!
Fun little example - I (Erin) walked down the aisle to “First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes. Which has been mine and my husband’s *song* since we were 17. After the wedding, I even found a note I passed him in school with lyrics from that song on it. YAAA IT’S CUTE!
Bonus: We have seen many couples with live musicians (typically a friend or family member -- which is even more meaningful!)
If you need some first dance inspo we have made a Spotify playlist for this VERY reason! We update it regularly…check it out below:
Include your fur bestie!!
This is definitely a favourite of ours! Name a better way to take the edge of a potentially stressful day (besides mimosas!). We’ve seen ring bearer pups, flower pups and everything in between!
Note: we always recommend having someone in charge of your fur babies so you can more easily enjoy your day!
Incorporate your personal style!
You don’t have to wear white or even a dress! If you prefer black, pink or something wilder - do you. Wear WHATEVER you want. Add a hat, jean jacket, go barefoot, etc
Choose a meaningful location!
Or one off the beaten path!
Especially with couples having to pivot their wedding plans the past year (and for who knows how much longer!) into smaller more intimate gatherings; we have seen some beautiful locations! From family cottages to city hall, to parks, to backyards, to restaurants. We love when your location reflects what you want from your day!
Make your own traditions!
Not all wedding traditions suit what couples are looking for from their day - so why not choose your own traditions?
We put a list of just a few of our favourite non-traditional items together;
Want to hang out with your partner all day? Go grab breaky together, hang out or get ready with your partner. Bonus: this is super meaningful and adorable for us as photographers to capture you both getting ready together. Helping each other put on the finishing touches to your wedding outfits - UMM THE CUTEST SHIT!!!
Not feeling the bouquet toss? Yeah, we feel you. Don’t do it.
Want to skip the huge wedding party? That’s fine too! The day is about you and your partner!
Want your grandma to be a flower girl?! WE ARE HERE FOR IT!!!
Walk yourself down the aisle or walk down the aisle WITH your partner!
Get married at WHATEVER time of day you want! — You don’t have to get married at 4 pm. You can marry your partner at whatever time you want! Breakfast weddings baby? Imagine the food options alone… waffles and scrambled eggs as far as the eye can see.
