What Is Everyone Going To Talk About After Your Wedding?
When it comes to wedding details that matter you might think of silver spoons and wedding favours or your photos printed on a the wine bottles’ labels.
But none of that matters, my dear!
Your guests will forget that your pretty faces were part of the bottles, the wedding favours will be eaten, smoked or tossed in the bin not later than 24 hours after your wedding day.
But none of the following 15 wedding details will be forgotten by your guests or you and your future spouse.
So we must talk about the details that matter and we must do it today!
All of the wedding details you will see listed below are here because I spend way too much time daydreaming about my wedding (hopefully coming soon).
15 Wedding Details You Don’t Want To Ignore – They Matter
1. Your Photographer
After you make sure you chose the best photographer you could find out there, arrange a meeting with him. Go to the wedding venue and take a walk around to talk over the best places for the photoshoot on your big day.
Don’t be shy to share your ideas; it’s your wedding. Your photographer will be grateful you have a vision and don’t expect him to do everything. Listen to his ideas too, and stay open-minded.
Why is that important?
Firstly, a simple chat with the person who will capture your wedding through the lenses is going to make you all feel comfortable sharing ideas. Knowing the person in front of you even a little bit helps you relax and allows ideas to flow.
What if his ideas don’t match your vision? Maybe it’s better to realise that a few months before the wedding.
2. The Way You Appear
This would be one of your most special moments on this day. Add style to this wedding detail. The first moment when everyone sees you and your future spouse is the moment people will remember the most (that and the way they felt on the next morning).
Some of the greatest and stylish ideas on how to arrive with style on your wedding are listed below:
- in a limo;
- in a classic car;
- in a sports car;
- in a carriage;
- by helicopter – I know it’s not on everyone’s budget, but it’s worth mentioning it and dreaming about it for a second.
3. Your Wedding Invitations
Be creative with this little wedding detail that matters.
Maybe your guests will lose the favors you gave them, but most people will save the wedding invitation you sent. They will place it along with the Christmas cards and the Thanksgiving cards, but they’ll keep it almost forever.
With that said, don’t miss your chance to be creative, sweet, and romantic – it’s a wedding after all!
Want to have full freedom in creating your wedding invitations? Design them yourself. Don’t worry; you could do it for free with Canva. They have ready-to-use templates that will take your breath away. Check some of their templates here.
4. Thank You Cards
As crucial as the invitations, handing a Thank You card will be a gesture your guests will appreciate.
You could just give them the card at the end of the evening. Alternatively, you might want to send your Thank You cards via mail, so you know everyone got theirs.
Did I mention Canva? Yes, they also have Thank You cards templates you could modify with the best photo from your wedding night. Check them here.
5. A Wedding Website
A wedding website is a detail that becomes more and more popular lately.
Everyone has a social media account or at least a smartphone and access to the internet.
Creating a website with all the wedding details your guests need to know will save you money and time. You don’t have to explain yourself to all of the 98 guests on your list. You could just redirect them to your website, and they will be blown away by your creativity, style, and packed information.
They can RSVP to you, choose their menu, and inform you of any other food preferences and restrictions. They could get access to a detailed map of the venue and any additional information you’d like them to know.
6. Upcycling The Wedding
Almost…
Yes, you need centerpieces on the tables. You need favors as well. And you probably need something special for the chairs, and then…
It costs you money. And it’s not nature-friendly.
Here’s a wedding detail that matter not only to your guests, but the planet too.
Have you thought of upcycling some of the wedding details? You could DIY if you have the time, the idea, and the basic skills. If you don’t, the web is full of ladies who create wonders from a little fabric and Masson jar.
7. Wedding cake topper
This wedding detail is very often overlooked and overpriced.
However, it will stay forever in your photo-album, and why not even save it as a souvenir if possible.
Take a look at some of the best wedding toppers I found after little research.
I know, they are lovely!
8. Your Wedding Dance
I see what you mean when you say you don’t want anything special. Just a simple dance.
I know you want it to be special. Maybe your dream is not to end up as a YouTube wedding dancer, but you’d love it to be beautiful and romantic.
Don’t overlook this little wedding detail. Years ago, I was dancing salsa, and in the group, we had a sweet couple who were attending the salsa lessons only to create their wedding dance. How amazing is that!
Do you have any ideas of your own?
9. Wedding Table Centrepieces
Less is more, they say.
Stick to this rule when it’s time to chose your centerpieces. There are many fabulous designs you will see, but remember that it’s the aspect you could save money on, and still have it romantic and stylish.
Go for a simple and stylish centerpiece that won't clutter the table and will allow your guests to pile up plates and glasses
10. Photobooth
How many time did I mention the social media in this post, huh?
If you want to add a unique wedding detail, this is your time to do it.
An Instagram Hashtag for your wedding and a place that’s arranged to be photo-friendly is modern, sweet, and romantic.
Just look at your options below.
This is such a beautiful idea, and your guests will have fun taking photos all the time.
Make it fun, make it simple, make it memorable. Rustic style decorations and photobooth prop signs your guests will love using. Plus, they are super affordable.
This is going to be the thing everyone is going to talk about on your wedding day. It's a stylish and beautiful way to make memories and capture them.
11. Kids Entertainment
Unless your wedding is “no children allowed” there will be at least a dozen of them.
Organize something special for the kids’ play area – a drawing contest and a person to entertain them will be a blessing for their parents.
12. Timeline Of Your Wedding Day
I’ve been to a few weddings where I didn’t know what’s going on next, what time the dinner was going to be served, etc.
It’s annoying.
Don’t be annoying!
You could create your Wedding Day Timeline for free on places like canva.com.
After that, you could print it and give each guest a copy. It saves you time to answer questions, and it’s less stressful.
Also, do a detailed timeline for your bridal party. They need to know everything as well as you. Their job is to help you have the best time of your life. Help them help you.
13. Vow Books
An amazing way to tell your partner how much you love them, a beautiful tradition to promote understanding, support, and unconditional love. All that could happen through your wedding vow.
Make it as memorable as possible and treat yourselves with a wedding vow book.
14. Guestbook/Memory Box
The options are endless when it comes to this one. I will dedicate a separate post on how many creative guest books or memory boxes you could choose.
A great alternative to the classic guest book is this gorgeous printed photo option. Yes, this could be you two!
Great alternative to the boring wedding gu
15. Have fun and be stress-free
The most important one of the wedding details that matters is to have fun. All other ideas and efforts are meaningless if you forget about this one. It’s your wedding. The planning is stressful and exhausting. There are so many things you want to do but don’t have the time. And even more ideas you have the time for, but not the budget.
And yet, all of that will go away. Your memories of the day itself will stay forever in your heart. Enjoy every little bit of the process and remember why you do it – Love.
