I think every couple wants to have a wedding that shows their personalities and reflects their own style. After spending hours on Pinterest and viewing your fiftieth wedding on Style Me Pretty, you start to wonder how you can add those special wedding details to your own big day. Here are some things that make a wedding feel personal to the couple but also provide great photos you can cherish after the wedding!

Getting Ready With Flair
Not only can you have photos of your gorgeous dress or dapper suit, but also of what you and your bridal party wore as you were getting ready. Some go with beautiful robes, comfy customized shirts, or matching casual converse. Your wardrobe while getting ready for your big day can add a subtle detail that represents your vibe and overall personality.

Hidden Gems
Maybe you don't want to go all out but would love some details that represent your style or a passion of yours. Unexpected shoes, a pop of color with socks, character cufflinks, or unique jewelry can be a great way to pull in some pizzazz without going overboard.
Also incorporating your hobbies and interests into the wedding are fun ways to let people have a glimpse into what you both love and share together. Quotes & emblems are great ways you can add that without it being a full-themed wedding - we love how this couple added quotes to their cocktail napkins, cake, and table numbers. After all, you can have a formal affair and still sneak in your fun, subtle wedding details.
We offer these items among many others that you can customize. Check out our stationery and accessories here!

Passed Down From Generation To Generation
Is there a brooch that your great-great-grandmother wore? Did your grandmother give you the handkerchief she used during her wedding ceremony? These are great items to incorporate into your wedding to bring in your history and roots. These items are usually very unique and one of a kind. Plus it's a way to have your family members with you as you say "I do".
Monogrammed Anything
The easiest way to incorporate "you" into any aspect of the wedding is to monogram it or have your first or last name added to it. Anything from garters, ring boxes, signs, or drinking glasses! Heck, you could have custom jackets made for you and your fiancé to exit in with your names on the back. Monogramming adds a cute detail that is relatively simple to execute these days. Be careful not to go overboard though. You don't want to have your name or monogram on EVERYTHING as it becomes repetitive and not so special anymore.
We also love the idea of offering monogrammed gifts to your wedding party, welcome gifts, or favors! You can do embroidered robes, flasks, cute notepads with their name, customized cups. You can also add curated stickers to the welcome bags or favors to add a special touch!

Gift To One Another
You can't get any more personal than with gifts to your soon-to-be-spouse. Some couples choose to keep it simple with handwritten letters to remind one another of why they love each other. Other couples actually give gifts. These can range from engraved jewelry to a sentimental object that represents the union. The sky is the limit! This is a great way to say "I love you" and also add a truly unique aspect to your wedding.
We offer many stationery and gift items, mentioned above, and would love to help you design the perfect elements to set your wedding apart. Contact us today for a free consultation!
Anything you can do to add a meaningful detail here and personalized detail there will increase the sentimental aspect of the wedding and make it feel like your own. Also, it will allow you to look back over the photos later and see how your wedding was set apart from others and special to you and your spouse.
