Bespoke Wedding Personalisation Trends

Everyone wants a personal wedding. It is a celebration of you as a couple, so it should uniquely reflect your love story. Here we have put together some bespoke ideas on how to achieve a hyper-personalised, luxurious wedding. 

Custom Art 

Custom illustrations of the couple for the wedding stationery offer a whimsical keepsake that’s sure to impress guests. You can even go one step further with custom illustrations of the guests themselves for table plans and place cards. Hey Draw Me draw wonderful cartoons of your guests to create a personalised table plan and name cards for each table. You can personalise your table plan by adding drawings of your table decorations, unique venue features or even your pets! You can also have cartoons of you and your partner for your invitation and thank you cards, with detailed replications of your outfits and venue.

More traditionally, there are professional artists who specialise in painting live events. Where better to do that than a wedding? Your guests will love this artistic element to your reception as they may be captured in the painting as it unfolds! It creates a cherished, bespoke memento of your special day.

Custom Entertainment 

A band is not your only entertainment option! Wedding entertainment can be truly unique and personalised completely to you. Galitsyna Art Group is one of a kind, transforming incredible art into a show for you and your guests. Artists create a unique show based on your love story, either through Sand or Light Animation. The result is a beautiful, emotional performance that is presented live on your wedding day. Words cannot express the breathtaking, wondrous art these incredibly talented artists create. So, take a look for yourself!

Custom Crests 

Coats of arms or crests have been used as logos for aristocratic families, churches and universities for centuries. But recent years have seen crests used in a more whimsical fashion at weddings! There is no need for you to already have a family emblem to use for your nuptials. There are experts who can craft your crest to perfectly encapsulate your wedding and what embodies you as a couple. These can then be emblazoned on invitations, napkins, programs, and the like, creating a personalised, distinguished feel to your day. 

Custom Poetry 

Poetry has always been a popular reading form for weddings. But, rather than using a generic poem applicable to anyone, you can make these readings completely unique to you! There are poets who can take your story as a couple and meticulously weave it into verse. What a magical moment for your ceremony! Or you could make your guests feel extra-special with a personalised poem as their place setting. Either way, personalised poetry can add a heart-warming, bespoke touch to your day!

We love the romance of custom poetry

Custom Refreshments 

Food and drink are always important and full of areas which can be personalised to your specific taste. We love the idea of creating bespoke signature cocktails, so you can work with a mixologist to create a drink that tastes exquisite and uniquely reflects you. Or, you could customise your cake so it tells a story with each layer or create your own pizza with unique toppings for an evening snack!

Bespoke drinks are a great way to show your a personality as a couple

Custom Decor

Decoration provides infinite opportunities for bespoke personalisation, such as custom art and crests. Other extravagant ideas include the creation of a large fairytale book which tells the story of your romance or blowing up a few of your favourite engagement photos for a one-of-a-kind decoration behind your head table. The possibilities are truly endless with this trend, all you need to do is decide what truly reflects you as a couple and let your imagination run wild!
