Your wedding day is supposed to be the most special occasion for you, your family, and friends. However it often turns out to be a tacky, repetitive and boring affair for all parties involved – obviously the marriage part is great but an element of class needs to be stamped on to the affair in order to separate it from the rest.
Whether there are 50 or 500 guests their experience needs to be memorable and the most effective way to do that is by being unique and individual. Speak closely with your partner and both sets of family and hatch an almighty plan that will ensure the smooth running of the wedding of a lifetime.
After all you only expect to get married once – right? Below I will highlight the best techniques to ensure your dream wedding is one in a million and will have the guests talking about it weeks after it’s over.
Think Outside the Box
So, couples usually have over a year to plan their perfect day, then why so many weddings turn out to be so darn boring? The answer is simple, they don’t think outside the proverbial box. Mix it up a bit; hire a live band, serve food that doesn’t involve roast potatoes and meat, or maybe even have a themed wedding.
All three ideas are simple to execute and will make all the difference. Many weddings result in extended family members getting overly intoxicated and end up causing a ruckus with the opposing family, people it happens. I’m not suggesting that you have to create a Hollywood style scenario, that’s unrealistic; I’m merely calling on you to create a memorable wedding day.
You want people leaving (forcibly) at the end of the night talking about how amazing the food was or how talented the band was, not “how cute the couple looked”, that’s not heartfelt its just etiquette.
Find an Awesome Ring

This is the game changer. Finding a standard ring is easy; finding a ring that causes heads to turn is not. Men can buy wedding bands at Men’s Tungsten Online and they offer something different to the rest of the market, their Tungsten rings are hand crafted and look incredible.
There are an abundance of websites and stores that can offer you something different on the ring front. Make sure you shop around and try hard to be individual, if you like red rings buy a red ring, don’t conform to the norms.
You will look back in 15 years and be thankful you had your own personal wedding, believe me.
Don’t Fear Tradition
I realize that my previous advice would seem as though I am anti-traditional wedding, that’s not the case. I’m against boring traditional weddings, if it is done properly, down to the tee, they can be a wonderful spectacle for all to see. Don’t scrimp on cost, as I mentioned previously you only get one shot at it so make it perfect.
If you want to arrive by horse and carriage ensure you do so, don’t think you have to appear in a flashy car (everyone knows it’s hired anyway).
