Even if you aren't particularly arty, you can try making your own favours, like handmade truffles or paper cones the colour of your theme filled with sweets. This can save you money compared to ready-made favours, you can create something really unique that your guests will treasure and you can get everything you need from craft shops and larger supermarkets.
A big part of weddings is the photos for both you as a timeless reminder of your big day but for your friends and family as well. Wedding photographers are great at capturing your whole day from start to finish and getting staged photos, but sometimes people want some more natural photos as well. On the other hand, the trend of putting disposable cameras on everybody's table has been really overdone now and they don't take the great photos at the best of times, let alone when people are trying to use them under disco lights and the influence of alcohol! Why not get the best of both worlds by hiring a party photo booth hire hertfordshire for your wedding. More and more celebrities are hiring them for their weddings and events to get funny, relaxed and heart-warming pictures of them with their closest friends and family. You can get spontaneous, self-directed photos whilst still having the quality of a professional camera; perfect for capturing all the fun that you had at your reception. Trust me, if you've ever had a wedding photographer telling you to pretend to be laughing about something, you'll know how wooden and unanimated the "caught in the action" wedding shots can be, photo booths for weddings really are so much fun! You can also get a photo booth that fits the theme of your wedding and lots of different props that you and your friends can have fun with. There are even white-board style booths so that your loved ones can leave messages, just like a guest book.
Another fun way of personalising your wedding is to come up with a signature cocktail that both you and your fiancé enjoy, giving it a name and serving it either as a welcome drink or with the toasts instead of champagne. You can also try using your table decorations to reflect your theme by using more unusual items for vases and centrepieces. For example, you can get tea cups really cheaply from charity shops and use them for champagne or as mini rose bowls on tables to add to a vintage British theme. You could also get clear vases or kilner jars and fill them with sweets in your wedding colours to make fun, edible table decorations.
