Planning a wedding at home

Do you feel overwhelmed with your goal of having the perfect wedding? Do you feel pressured when thinking about how to make your dream day become a reality? Planning a wedding can take months of preparation and can become stressful, especially for the bride! If you want to have great ideas for your wedding, then read on and learn about unique wedding ideas that can add life, twists, and joy to your wedding!

Journal Book
During the wedding reception, pass around a nicely designed wedding journal among your guests. Have them write short notes, stories or messages about or to the bride or the groom. Of course, you need to keep this journal as part of your wedding keepsake.

Potted Plants as Centerpieces
Instead of having the usual flower centerpieces which can be quite expensive, why not have a very unique and earth-friendly centerpiece for your wedding reception? Use small potted plants as centerpieces to your guests tables and you will be surprised at how this unique wedding idea can add life and twist to the usual wedding scene.



Candle Pots and Lanterns for Decoration
The light emitted by candles and lanterns create you a magical glow compared to the traditional lights. If your wedding is in the early morning, at dusk, or at night, use candles or lanterns to create a wonderful venue. You can opt to place big lanterns on specific places or use lots of candles in some corners for an amazing effect.

Kid’s Corner
While most weddings are often adult events, you cannot help but have a throng of tiny guests especially if your friends are married. Have one corner at the reception set aside for kids so they will not get bored through the reception program. Have face painting, free balloons, free caricatures, or even a playing area. After all, these kids deserve some of the fun and action on your wedding.

The Wedding Ceremony
If you want to break away from the usual church or hall wedding, then do a fun wedding ceremony that is far from the traditional. Have a beach wedding where you can go barefoot and get adorned by a shell necklace. Have a garden wedding where you will be surrounded by color and flowers. Have a pool wedding where guests can swim, drink and be merry right after the ceremony. Up to spending much? Rent a yacht and have a floating wedding and reception. There are many unique wedding ideas for themes and venues. Explore those ideas so you can have the wedding you want most.

Uniue Wedding Favors
Unique wedding ideas are not limited to the program, the reception or even the theme. You can make your wedding day memorable to you and your guests by giving away unique wedding favors. If you got married on the beach, give bottled sand as keepsakes. If you had a nature themed wedding, give away small potted bamboo plants as wedding favors.

The Traveling Wedding
Another unique wedding idea is to celebrate a wedding is to have a traveling or mobile wedding. If your guest list is short and if your guests are up to it, then you can have a roving wedding. Start off with a bridal shower party at one place, move on to an exotic ceremony in another state, then have a grand wedding reception somewhere new to family and friends. This can create lots of great memories not only for the bride and groom but also for friends and family.
