Unique Wedding Ideas to Make your Guests Smile

When I tell people I’m a wedding photographer in Cardiff. I get asked lots of questions. What’s the best (or worst) thing you’ve seen at a wedding? Do you work with loads of Bridezillas? And most recently what’s the best personal touch you’ve seen? So today I bring you a blog post of unique wedding ideas to make your guests smile (or cry happy tears!)

Personal Wedding Touches

Hand Written Letters

I got asked about the best personal touch I’ve seen this wedding season and wanted to share it with you too. It’s totally free, it does take some time but was such a beautiful and wonderful moment to witness. Anthony and Stuart placed sealed envelopes next to their table centres pieces which read ‘Open me and read with the rest of your table.’ Each envelope contained a letter for each table, written by the couple about how much the guests meant to them. I loved this personal and thoughtful touch and selfishly great for candids.

Cillas Bar

What do you think? Are you a fan? I’d love to know if you love analogue or Polaroid photography and what do you think of having your wedding photography captured on 35mm film?

Champagne Wall

Now this unique wedding idea really will make your guests smile and enjoying a glass of champagne or two.

Homemade Wedding Confetti

I’ve heard so many stories of couples making their own confetti. One amazing couple made their wedding confetti out of flowers that a groom had bought throughout their relationship. Yes you heard right, they dried out flowers he’d bought. How romantic is that?! It had so many guests oooing and ahhhhhhing. What a way to include your journey in this extra, celebratory moment.
