Organising a unique personalised wedding starts with original ideas that reflect your story and your desires. Discover creative concepts for every aspect of your big day, from the ceremony to the reception. Whether you’re looking to surprise your guests or add an intimate touch, make your wedding a truly personal event.
1. A spectacular entrance: create an unforgettable moment.
Make a memorable entrance that will leave a lasting impression: you can choose an unusual vehicle or call a band or orchestra to play meaningful music live. You can also plan a surprise dance with your procession for your arrival.
2. A ceremony that tells your story
Turn your ceremony into a deeply personal moment. Personalise the lay ceremony by scripting it, adding anecdotes and readings chosen to reflect your background. Think of rituals such as the sand ritual or the tree-planting ritual. And of course an exchange of handwritten vows with promises written in your own handwriting.
3. An unusual venue: get off the beaten track
Choose an original setting that will surprise your guests, such as a château😉 . You can also choose a themed wedding.
4. Decoration ideas that are out of the ordinary
Impress your guests with original decorations for a unique personalised wedding. For example, a wall of memories with photos recounting your love story. Creative lighting with string lights, personalised neon lights or floating lanterns. You can also create a theme for your tables. Each one can represent a country or city that means something to you.
5. Surprising entertainment for your guests
Add a dose of fun and originality to your reception. The personalised Photo Booth has become a classic in recent years. You can even add accessories that reflect your theme or your passions. Why not invite a magician, a dancer or a local band to entertain your guests. You could also set up a DIY workshop to make souvenirs, a cocktail bar where guests can create their own drinks, or even an ephemeral tattoo station. There are also plenty of games to set up.
6. A surprising first dance
Amaze your guests with a memorable first dance. Prepare an unexpected choreography that starts gently and then evolves into a funky style or a swing dance. You could also invite your witnesses or friends to join in the fun
7. Gastronomy that’s out of the ordinary
Surprise your guests with unique culinary experiences. You can set up themed stations such as sushi bars, cheese bars, or even a food truck for a convivial atmosphere. If you can, include dishes that tell your story (for example, specialities from the regions where you travelled together). And to finish the meal, why not replace the traditional cake with a tower of doughnuts or macaroons, or even an ice-cream bar?
8. Souvenirs to make a lasting impression
Give your guests memorable gifts. If possible, make handmade gifts such as jars of jam, olive oil or honey. You can also provide disposable cameras so that guests can take away their own souvenirs. Write a little note for each guest, it will touch them and they can keep it as a souvenir.
9. An exceptional end to the evening
End your wedding on a spectacular note. Why not set off fireworks or release lanterns; your guests can write a wish before launching their lanterns. You can also extend the party with a karaoke night or a DJ.
