Add a Personal Touch While we all might go through a standard checklist when planning our weddings, it’s essential that it doesn’t lack a personal touch. Think about things that might matter to you and your soon-to-be life partner. Couples all around the world have been incorporating elements into their wedding that are either quirky, heartfelt or nostalgic. Here are some that we love: 1. Have a book for wedding guests to leave a message for the happy couple. Or go with the modern take on this tradition and have a station where people can leave a video or voice note. This has been tried, tested and loved! 2. Have a disposable or polaroid camera at the tables of your closest friends and families so they can capture poignant and hilarious moments. You can then ‘see’ the wedding from their point of view. 3. Create a custom neon sign with a message that resonates with you, or opt for a cake topper that’s more personal. This one is quite special. We’ve all lost people that are near and dear to us, and as seen at a friend’s wedding, you can have them right there with you. Print your favourite images of friends and family that you and your partner wish were there for your big day, place them in frames and decorate with flowers and/or candles for your ‘Wish You Were Here’ table. A Bouquet You’d Love to Catch Whether you’re walking down the aisle or getting ready for the wedding toss, a beautiful bouquet is essential. Maximalism was previously trending with statement-making bouquets, bright colours and large bows and embellishments, but things have taken a turn. The bouquet is no longer the focal point of the bride’s wedding day look but rather a demure accessory. Smaller bouquets, often in pastel shades, with less embellishments are delicately bound with ribbon or twine. Lush greenery and delicate flowers come together for a refreshing aesthetic which keep all eyes on the bride. Weddings Bahrainthismonth.com September 2023 35
