Untraditional Wedding Things We Did 💍
Untraditional weddings are happening SO much more now and when we got engaged we knew we’d be one of them. Initially our plan was to elope in the mountains but changed our minds 3 months out to having a micro-wedding on my family’s property.
I got myself ready. We both did but I feel like doing my makeup on the floor of my mom’s bedroom counts as untraditional 🤣
We didn’t have a florist, my husband picked out and made my bouquet- also on my mom’s bedroom floor.
We didn’t have many getting ready photos because we wanted to take Polaroids of each other instead 📸
My mom got a new deck for the occasion… just felt that needed to be said hahaha
We did a private ceremony so our friends and family only could see us. Our sweet officiant read a letter we wrote to her while we read each other our vows and we all just sobbed in a much less awkward way.
Craft paper on all the tables was a big hit and we did a diy dessert bar. I asked everyone for their favorite desserts on the RSVP and dessert was naked cake slices with everyone’s favorite toppings ready to add on top!
After the ceremony we snuck away for pictures. We probably should have found a beautiful flower patch or something… we had a photo shoot at the gas station we always stop at before driving home 🍭
The most untraditional way to end a wedding… story time from my mom while we all wore comfy clothes. She did a great job tbh, 10/10 would recommend story time.
What do you think about untraditional weddings? Would you have one? Did you?? #letschat
Untraditional weddings are becoming increasingly popular as couples look for ways to personalize their ceremonies. Whether you choose to elope, have a micro-wedding, or incorporate unique DIY elements, the key is to make the day reflect your personality as a couple. For those considering a micro-wedding, intimacy is at the forefront, allowing for meaningful connections with a small group of friends and family. Think about ceremony venues that are personal to you, like your family’s backyard, which can add warmth and nostalgia. DIY elements can add an unforgettable touch. For example, creating a dessert bar with your guests' favorite treats can be a fun and interactive experience. Consider asking your close friends and family for recipe suggestions in advance, ensuring each dessert has a personal story. Photography can also take a creative spin. Instead of traditional wedding photos, opt for fun locations that have significance to your relationship, like the gas station you frequented together. This approach can lead to spontaneous and joyous moments captured forever. Emotional connections can be enhanced through personalized vows or letters read out loud during the ceremony, making everyone feel involved in the couple’s journey. Ultimately, untraditional weddings allow you to break the mold, ensuring the day is both memorable and true to who you are as a couple. Would you embrace this trend? Share your thoughts and ideas!
We went super minimalistic with our wedding, no wedding party, my mom and grandma were my “flower girls”. 30 people were there, we told everyone we eloped even just so it would be our closest friends and family with no stress. And it was perfect.🥰
