Make Your Wedding Day as Memorable for Guests as it is for You

The key to planning an unforgettable wedding is choosing a theme or time in history and applying it consistently to every aspect of your big day. This will greatly simplify decisions about everything from invitations to bombonieries and will create a memorable experience for all in attendance. Choose a theme that reflects who you are and what you value. If you and your fiancée are both teachers, if you both love movies, if the outdoors is a big part of your life or if your heritage is close to your heart, then let that reflect in your wedding day plans.

A ceremony that celebrates your cultural heritage is sure to stand out, especially if your guest list is diverse. Perform part of the ceremony in your native tongue; utilize traditional music or customs and the bright colours and décor that are part of so many cultures.

A great idea for movie buffs is to let guests know that they are invited to both a wedding and the world premiere of your lives together. Use Photoshop to turn your photos into movie posters and have them made at your local print store. Be the star of your day! If nature is a big part of your life then let it be a big part of your wedding. Bamboo arrangements are a simple and beautiful alternative to floral centrepieces and can be taken home by guests. End your evening with a release of live butterflies guests will be talking about your wedding for years to come.

Do not rely on what you have seen before, just let your wedding be a reflection of your lives together and it is sure to be a success.
