Who says this day isn’t all about YOU!!! Well, actually is SHOULD be about the both of you, but there are plenty of brides who will think, and act, otherwise. In any case the H-O-T trend in wedding planning…personalization! Put your personal touches on everything in 2010. Take this opportunity to really make your wedding as unique as you and your hubby-to-be are by incorporating YOU (as in 2!); things you share in common, your initials, or your places you’ve been together.
Take this trend and run with it as far as you can. Use travel as a theme by picking a vacation destination the two of you enjoyed…the beach, London, Venice, L.A., N.Y.C., like I said the skies the limit. Pick a theme based on some interest shared in common; photography, sports, movies. A big theme right now is Hollywood glam! Incorporate your look into everything; from the style of gown/tuxes you choose and use it through your décor, music, cake, and favors.
Along the way, think about using a monogram…very hot right now. Design one yourself using a template found on the net, or hook up with a designer. Most of your wedding invitation vendors will have a graphic designer employed or will be able to point you in the right direction. Monograms are usually reasonably priced but beware, you are paying for a professional design and the manpower generating the idea! Monograms are being used everywhere…as holograms on the dance floor, on your invitations, favors, programs, menus, centerpieces, etc. Plus they set a very elegant tone to any wedding. It may just be the touch that elevates your garden party from backyard BBQ to Tavern on the Green!
Do use some discrimination as you choose what and where to personalize. Even though I said to take your monogram and plaster it on anything that moves…please don’t! Take that sentence with a grain of salt. Too much can really be too much. Just be sure that at the end of the day you are happy with the results. This is one of the biggest days of your life so make it the best you can….good luck!
