7 Unique Wedding Ideas That Will Leave Your Guests Talking for Years To Come
We’re all about ditching traditions and embracing whatever unique elements our couples at The Eloise choose to personalize their wedding day with! As venue owners, we see so many interesting and fun ideas that couples and vendors come up with, and below we’re talking about 7 of our favorites that we know will leave your guests talking for years to come! Let’s dive in!
LAST DANCE FIRST DANCE
We love the idea of doing your first dance again for the last dance of the night. This can be surrounded by your loved ones or you can send off the crowd and enjoy a private moment alone in your venue before leaving for the evening.
ADD THE PERSONAL TOUCH
Personalized touches to your wedding day can be unique, fun, and help your guests get to know you and your partner even better! We love the idea of personalized napkins that have fun facts about you and your partner like where your first date was, who said “I love you,” first, where you got engaged, and more!
SKIP THE CAKE
Not a fan of cake? More and more we see couples implementing other fun dessert ideas besides a traditional cake! Some ideas?
- ice cream bar
- ice cream truck vendor
- dessert table with favorite desserts
- pies
- cookies
- cupcakes
- cake pops
- donut wall
- cotton candy
- late-night smores bar
- self-serve candy bar with boxes for guests to make their own treats
FLOWER GIRL OR FLOWER GRANDMA?
This newer trend has ranged from hilarious to sweet and a combination of both. Have your grandma or another close family member or friend be your “flower girl” and ring bearer! You’ll get some laughs and some “awwws” from your guests we guarantee it!
COFFEE TRUCK
Coffee lovers, where are you at? Consider having a coffee truck at your wedding reception with custom cups of joe for an afternoon pick-me-up or a warm drink after dessert!
GRAND MARCH 2.0
We love a good grand march. Take yours up to the next level by organizing a flash mob with your wedding party or dance down to your head table! Give your grand march theme and use props. The creativity is endless!
POLAROID ESCORT CARDS
Spice up traditional escort cards by having guests find their name and then replace their card with a polaroid picture of themselves! You could ask them to even write a little message on the front or back of their photo so you can collect them for a guest book.
Which one was YOUR favorite? Have another creative idea? We’d love to hear about it! Find more wedding inspiration by following us on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest!
