When you think of a wedding you commonly think of a chapel with a ceremony and close family members. After the wedding you head to the reception at a small fire house or VFW down the street. Granted these weddings are usually fun, they can become very commonplace. You don’t want your wedding to be commonplace, and you want it to be memorable for both you and your guests.

How do we make your wedding stand out? Simple, customize it to fit who you are and what you want. When planning you wedding the options are endless.

One way to customize your wedding is by changing the location. The location can drastically change the feel, and enjoyment that people get when they attend your wedding. Think about it which is more memorable, a church wedding, or a wedding in the middle of a beautiful forest with the sun setting through the trees?

Here are a few ideas on locations and favors for your wedding:

Move your outdoor wedding to be by a lake. The sun glistens off of the silent waters, or perhaps the water falls from a small cliff above into the beautiful pond. Change up the wedding favors, and the decorations to be more natural, such as using pinecone wreaths with white lace weaved through the branches used to make the wreath.

Since you are going to be outside, you should try to plan the reception outside as well. Use pinecone lanterns for the tables, or hollowed out stumps with floating candles in it to set up a relaxing atmosphere. If you are by a lake, set a place for the kids to go swimming so the children attending the wedding can have as much fun as you are.

Your favors can be seashell shaped candles, your lanterns made from coconuts, and your gown and ceremony can be covered in tropical flowers. You can find a caterer that will add tropical fruit to all the dishes that you have at your wedding as well.

Your centerpieces can be a glass globe with flowers poking out the top, while a fish swims happily around within the globe.

Cruses also offer a variety of activities for you and your wedding guests. The best part is that you do not have to worry about favors for the most part or a thank you as everyone is already on the cruse.

Decorate the deck of the ship with sea birds, and sea creatures. Create a trellis out of sea shells and put it at the front of the ship deck and have your wedding while looking out in all directions and seeing nothing but water

Choose your cruse wisely and maybe you can spend some time with your guests on some tropical islands, or other locations that no one has been before.

Regardless of where you have your wedding you can customize it to fit you. Not only that but you can make it memorable by stepping out side of the box and finding a new way to do something traditional. Some people have a traditional wedding at a church and a reception at a VFW but do it all in costume. Imagine how memorable it would be if everyone came to your wedding dressed as Ewoks? I know it sounds strange but I guarantee that you and your guests will never for get your special day.
