When planning a wedding, the details can often become overwhelming and tedious. Remember, a wedding is meant to celebrate you and your partner’s love story. While planning where, when, and who, consider the personalization tips below to make the day all about the unique love you and your partner share!

Custom Wedding Candles

Everyone loves candles, and everyone loves scents that bring them joy and happiness. So for your wedding day, consider visiting Embers Candle Bar before the event to create and design a custom wedding candle. A custom-made wedding scent to use as centerpieces, favors for wedding gifts, and even presents for your wedding party is the perfect touch for your special day. The world is your oyster when it comes to custom wedding candles at Embers Candle Bar!

How do custom wedding candles work?

You and your partner, or your wedding party, can come to Embers Candle Bar, and we will ask you questions on the different aspects of your wedding day! For example, what flowers are being used? What is your wedding theme? Is your wedding on a beach? Or, is your wedding a romantic night under the lights in the woods? We will take the answers to all of our questions and start helping you create a personalized wedding fragrance. Learn more about scenting your special day here.

Meaningful Bouquets

Flowers are an essential part of the wedding day. Consider choosing flowers that have special meaning to you. Maybe sunflowers have always been your favorite flower. Or your Grandma’s name was Daisy, and you go with a daisy bouquet.

Blast Your Favorite Music

Music is another big part of wedding celebrations, and to personalize your celebration, make sure the wedding music playing is tried and true, uniquely you. For example, instead of the same wedding song, most brides walk down the aisle to make it a song that is special to you and your partner. After all, your walk down the aisle is one of the most important walks you will ever make. So blast your favorite music not only to put you at ease while walking down the aisle but also to personalize your ceremony.

Personalize the Walk Down the Aisle

Speaking of walks, take the personalization even a step further. Maybe you and your partner want to walk down the aisle together as the ceremony begins. You’re starting a new journey together, and walking down the aisle hand in hand for the ceremony is a sweet, loving touch to the start of a new life.

Choosing an Officiant

As time goes on, traditions tend to be lost, forgotten, or just not as important. For example, choosing an officiant was frequently not a choice back in the day. Instead, why not choose someone who will personalize the ceremony to fit you and your partner’s vibe perfectly. Maybe you both have a mutual friend who introduced the two of you. Or, maybe the groom’s father would make an excellent choice.

Ceremony Vows

When it comes to your wedding vows, there are so many ways to personalize them. Simply writing your own vows to each other is a way to make the ceremony more unique to you and your partner, Or; consider a calligraphed scroll, runner, or embroidered quilt to hang behind the altar. Your vows are just that - yours. Let your creativity and love run free!

A Toast to the Newlyweds!

As guests walk out of the ceremony, celebrate with a toast! Recruit your ushers to pass around a cocktail of you and your partner’s choosing. Personalize the cocktail, and rename the classic drink to include you and your groom’s love story.

Unique Reception Layout

Another way to personalize your big day is to let the reception reflect you and your partner. If you are both more relaxed and want to party and spend quality time with your loved ones, consider having areas set aside with mixed seating like comfy couches and lounge chairs. Your guests will walk away thinking, wow, that reception was “so and so’s” laid back, fun vibe.

Special Food Stations

For cocktail hour, dinner, or a late-night snack, think about including you and your partner’s favorite foods. Food is an important part of the event, and if you choose your favorite comfort foods, the night will feel even more unique to you and your special someone. Talk with your caterer to discuss your favorite foods and how to craft the best version of your go-to fare.

Include Your Pets

If you are a pet owner, we can assume your four-legged best friends are a big part of your life. Even if your pet can’t walk you down the aisle, you can still incorporate your pet in the wedding. Name a signature cocktail in honor of them or consider including a sketch of them in your decor, paper goods, or signage.
