"Something Unique" that you love about your wedding?

That's so awesome! I would personally love to attend a wedding with cheeseboard centerpieces

We're not doing anything unique tbh, but that's okay! We're keeping things casual and authentic to us

Other ideas can be candles. Gold fish. Floating flowers... But that cheese board sounds amazing

I love that! When we were considering fall we both agreed it was BBQ food or nothing! It's so fitting and personally if I went to a wedding and they serves me some good BBQ i'd be in heaven!

Not going to lie I had to google what Pampas Grass was; but wow that makes for such a beautiful backdrop!! This all sounds amazing!

That is such a fun way to do your thank you cards!

So personal!!

Wow that is awesome, your guests will definitely think that is unique!

I'm all about the non-traditional stuff, I love the flip cup idea!

We hired a food truck as our caterer, and will have a BBQ style dinner!

Here are my favourite “unique” elements for our wedding:

Instead of an arch, we’ll be standing in a semi circle of pampas grass.

Instead of a bouquet, I’ll be carrying a custom clutch made out of and carrying family heirlooms.

Our recessional will be the trumpet riff from on of our favourite OutKast songs.

Not necessarily unique but not done at any weddings we’ve been to: we used our centrepieces as our favour, we had a ring bearer security guard (one nephew carried the rings, as normal, one nephew wore an FBII costume) and we took group shots with all our guests and sent them out with the thank you cards.

Thank you! FH and I just googled German wedding traditions and this came up with a list of alot of other neat ones!

I'm trying to incorporate as many unique things into our wedding as possible. Because we are having a traditional church wedding and mostly Lebanese ceremony, in the same venue where my SIL got married, I was worried it would be too impersonal, so early on my FH and I discussed how we could make it more "us" - we are having nontraditional ceremony music (all instrumental covers of rock songs, mostly David Bowie), and our first dance is to a song that is completely not what you'd expect, and bound to raise some eyebrows among our more conservative family members. I'm trying to include little details that tie into our nerdier sides - my bouquet will have a "mermaid pendant" from Stardew Valley, a game we both play, we'll have music from the Lord of the Rings playing during our cocktail hour, and we're planning on playing a big game of Flip Cup later on in the evening, because it's our go-to party game

View quoted message That is so creative!! I would totally do something like that if I had more than one table lol

View quoted message This is the coolest unity thing I have ever seen. I am part German so this would be so cool to do!

Just the groom. 💜

View quoted message Thank you Liarra

View quoted message That is such an awesome idea Erin! I have to find a way to incorporate “in memory of” as well.

Ok who doesn't love cheese?? My unique item will also be my centerpieces that will serve as my in memory of. Each centerpiece will have a pic of our loved one and will be filled with something that reminds us of them.

View quoted message That is like for real awesome, nonnas/grandma's are the best, what a great idea. I bet they are pleased as punch lol!!

View quoted message That sounds great! When we considered a fall wedding we talked about a s’mores station. I feel like it’s almost essential for an outdoorsy themed wedding! I’m sure it’ll be a hit!

We are doing a cocktail reception as well with tons of food. We are having a camping:outdoor theme. Our photobooth is going to be our tent set up with camping chairs. Plus we will have a propane fire pit on the patio of our space. Finishing it off with a snore station for dessert. I hope it’ll be fun! Lots of games and things as well

View quoted message Mymms.com !! Was super easy to set up the other and quick shipping! I waited for a time when they did a 30% off and bought then!

View quoted message Pies!! I love that! Way better than cake in my opinion! STOPPPPP your Nonnas are the flower girls. I’ve seen this on Pinterest and it’s so amazing!! They must be so excited! Definitely a crowd pleaser!

That's really cool!

We are planning to have wedding pies instead of cake.

Our ring bearers will be my little cousins and we will our Nonnas (2) be our flower nonnas.

View quoted message That is so awesome!! I love the symbolism behind it, makes me wish I was German so I could do this! I don’t think my heritage has any fun traditions like that. I’d be in the same boat as you, I’d definitely want to practice before hand! Either way it’ll be so fun and interactive. Your guests will love it!

I LOVE cheese boards. Cheese is life. This is a fantastic fabulous idea, do you have any extra spots for guests I would appreciate the heck out of that centrepiece. Haha anyway amazing!!

Still early in the planning process, but so far we have are incorporating "Baumstamm sägen" - (sawing a tree trunk) in our ceremony. This is to honour my FH and I german heritage, and his just all around love for Germany. This will be our "unity ceremony" act. However in German tradition, the sawing of the tree trunk is done right after you are pronounced man and wife, as it is the first act of the married couple to show how well they work together I'm excited! Also nervous. I hope we can practice beforehand haha. But I want to make it quite a presentation, with a decorated tree trunk and lace gloves etc. Like below:

And then not super unique but we are doing edible favours that are mini pumpkin pie tarts because our wedding day is Thanksgiving Sunday!

Hopefully! MY FH has built most of the games himself so it would be nice if he could see everyone enjoying them!

View quoted message I love lawn games. When we were considering a fall wedding it was a must have for us! I’m sure your guests will be super happy to have some entertainment!

We don't have anything super unique. We are doing non-floral centerpieces which is unique compared to other weddings we have been to. We are also having lots of lawn games (weather depending) for guests to play during cocktail hour and even into the night if they want to

Where did you order the customs ones from?

View quoted message Exactly!! The colours were perfect and how can you say no to those little hearts hahahh!!!

View quoted message That is amazing!! I’ve seen these before but never considered incorporating them into my wedding! The guests will love it and it’s definitely amazing that you can match it to your wedding colours!

Ok if I went to a wedding with a cheese and wine centrepieces I would be THRILLED! That is a great idea!!!

One small unique thing we're doing (it makes me laugh I love them so much) we got custom printed M&Ms to have on our sweet table... I bought a 5lb bag and we'll have them to serve along with the rest of the desserts! They're amazing and I'm so happy with them!
