How To Make Your Wedding Unique...Without Breaking the Bank

You want--and DESERVE--to have the wedding of your dreams...in a beautiful location surrounded by your closest family and friends...having the time of your lives...a wedding that really represents YOU.

A unique wedding.

But with over 2 million weddings held in the United States each year, how is yours supposed to be unique?



No, you don't have to have your wedding in a bunker like the couple in this photo...



You just need to use your two most powerful assets...



YOU and your CREATIVITY.

What's the one thing that no other wedding in the history of weddings has ever had?

You and your fiance. Only your wedding will have your particular set of interests, quirks, and personality traits.

All you need to do is use your creativity to find ways to express it on your wedding day.

Tell your love story. Incorporate pictures from your past. Highlight your hobbies, obsessions, the things you have in common...or the ways you are completely different.

Your special events are a great place to display your unique personality. A couple ideas involving creative centerpiece give aways from our recent weddings:

  • Our groom, Rob, is a Texas Hold Em Poker fanatic. So we're hiding 5 playing cards underneath the centerpiece at each table. Each guest will have 2 cards hidden under their plate. The guest with the best hand takes home the centerpiece. Yee haw!
  • Karin and Cooper printed up an index card telling the details of how they met and hid it under the plate of one guest at each table. The guest with the card had to tell the story to the rest of the table, and in return, they got to take home the centerpiece.

Cool, eh? Bet you've never seen THAT at a wedding. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Start using your creativity to show off what makes you unique. It's a sure fire way to a unique wedding your guests will remember forever. Now hop to it!

Your Friend & Wedding Coach,
