how is your wedding unique?

Original post by AwaitingAugust

are you having anything special at your wedding that most people don't generally have? how will your wedding be 'unique' or 'different' than any other wedding?

Ways our wedding was unique -
1. Asian themed (neither of us are asian)
2. Had a Man of Honor
3. Had a signing cloth (usually done in chinese weddings)
4. Music for ceremony was all by Enya
5. We had pictures of us dressed up in costume (Asian outfits) around the hall. Including a big 16x20 when guests walked in.
6. We had a lion dance during the cocktail hour.
7. We did the European Style (dinner first, then dancing)
8. We had two other forms of entertainment during dinner ( Bian Lian - a face changer, and the Happy Chef)
9. I changed dresses
10. We had a candy bar. Common on the boards but we've never been to a wedding with one.
11. If guests wanted us to kiss, instead of clinking glasses, we had hand drums on the table that they needed to use.

There's more but the rest are really small details.

Great ideas ladies! Well I def am going to :

-wear red shoes at my reception
-encorporate some type of sports thing into the wedding for my FH who is the ultimate jock- prob a garter with his fav team! and a grooms cake - Mr. Met or something..
-thinking of having a frank sinatra singer at the wedding for FH and dad
-Need to encorporate some italian traditions since my dads family is literally off the boat italian!!
-Mash potato bar? possibly
-Monogram name on the dance floor
-awesome bridesmaid entrances - bc my girls are always dying to do something funny so that is a must!!!
-some surprises here and there that I need to think of first!

We're having a photobooth (which I think is only halfway unique since its not unheard of)

I think our flowers are pretty unique...they are not the typical wedding flowers

We're using small bouquets of lavender as placecards

that's all i can think of right now



Since this was bumped, I'll add that FH and I's first dance is choreographed and my dance with my Dad is not a slow dance, its a Rhumba.

We are having an acapella group sing at our ceremony and they will be performing while the wedding party and I walk down the aisle.After the ceremony they will lead guests to CH in song!!! They will be singing a song from a Bronxtale for Fh cause he is from the BX, it's called 'streets of the Bronx'. We are created our own photo area that goes along with our vintage victorian theme. The photo area will have vintage props for guests like mustache sticks, lace fans, lace parasols, top hats!!! Pictures will be taken by the fireplace located in the library at our RH. For the library's tables we are placing digital picture frames with pics of us and we are creating books with titles relating to the guests on them!!! For music we are combining Italian with Trini. FH wants a Tassa group to be at reception too. For invites and favors, I added a peacock seal to symbolize the RH, as it has roaming peacocks!!!! I think all these touches are unique!!!!

Oh, and instead of guest book, guests are signing a plate with a pic of a bride and groom on it and it says 'and they lived happily ever after'
