Wedding Planners have seen their fair share of weddings, and with that, you can rest assured that they’ve seen or heard about all the unique wedding ideas in the book. Innovative brides don’t want their wedding to consist of all of the usual décor and souvenirs. To name a few, the overused mason jars, the popular donut bars, the classic rose petal aisles, and of course the exclusive cocktail hour. It's time to change a few things to draw the attention of the guests and show the bridge and groom what you've got!

Unique Cake Toppers
Outdated wedding cake toppers are so 1980s. Look for a cake topper with an accent that will complement your wedding theme. Like this light bulb cake topper for an industrial style wedding, particularly because it goes with the “Light of My Life” wording on each tier of the cake.

Customized Menu Options
Listen, it doesn’t all have to be about “what’s in” this year. A wedding day is about what the bride and groom are all about and that includes the food! Provide details to the caterer about what the bride and groom consider a perfect food day (breakfast, lunch dinner, and snacks). Let them combine the choices into a diverse wedding menu, and couple it with a personalized menu to place at the tables.

Thank You Displays for Guests
Favors and giveaways are wonderful and all, but nothing beats a heartfelt message that will touch your guest’s heart. This is a very personal way to thank guests, and when it’s displayed this beautifully...it is sure to be a hit! You can express your gratitude by either writing a thank you letter and display it in calligraphy on a large sign, or you can go the extra mile and order a customized bed sheet with your letter written on it as a giveaway for your guests.
