Hey there, lovebirds! Planning your wedding can be a whirlwind of excitement and decisions, but fear not, because I’ve got a list of things you absolutely won’t regret doing on your special day. So, let’s dive in and explore these alternative and relaxed wedding ideas that will make your celebration truly unforgettable!

1. Holding Hands During the Ceremony: Don’t underestimate the power of a simple gesture. Holding hands with your partner during the ceremony creates an intimate connection that amplifies the love and commitment you share. It’s a beautiful way to ground yourselves and savor the moment together.

2. Having a Videographer: While photographs capture still moments, a videographer preserves the dynamic energy and emotion of your wedding day. From the laughter to the happy tears, having a video to relive those heartfelt moments is an investment you won’t regret. So, let the magic unfold on screen!

3. Assigning Someone to Organize Group Shots: Group photos are like a time capsule of your loved ones gathered together, but I’m not going to lie this is going to be the shittest part of your day. There is always somebody at the bar, or on the toilet and it can feel like hurding cats. To ensure you capture all those important moments with family and friends quickly, assign a trusted friend or family member to help organize the group shots.

4. Adding Lots of Personal Touches in Your Service/Decor: Your wedding should be a reflection of you as a couple. So, sprinkle it with personal touches that represent your unique love story. Whether it’s handwritten vows, DIY decorations, or incorporating sentimental items, infusing your personalities into the service and decor will make your wedding truly unforgettable.

5. Having a Professional DJ or Band: Music sets the mood and gets everyone in the celebratory spirit. Don’t leave this crucial element to chance. Hire a professional DJ or band who understands your vibe and can curate a playlist that keeps the dance floor buzzing. Trust me, the right tunes will have everyone grooving until the early hours!

6. Allowing Plenty of Time: Time flies when you’re having fun, and your wedding day will be no exception. Give yourselves ample time to savor every moment. From getting ready with your squad to stealing quiet moments with your partner, allowing for a relaxed timeline ensures you won’t miss out on creating precious memories.

7. Having an Unplugged Ceremony: In a world dominated by screens, consider having an unplugged ceremony. Encourage your guests to put away their phones and be fully present in the moment. By doing so, you create an intimate atmosphere where everyone’s undivided attention is on you and your love story.

8. Being Organized Beforehand so You Can Relax on the Day: A little organization goes a long way. Take care of the logistical details, finalize the timelines, and communicate with your vendors in advance. By being organized beforehand, you’ll free yourself from unnecessary stress on the day, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the joy and love surrounding you.

9. Having Suppliers That Feel Like Mates: Your wedding suppliers should feel like an extension of your support system. Seek out vendors who understand your vision, share your values, and feel like friends. When you surround yourself with a team that genuinely cares, you’ll feel more at ease, knowing they have your back every step of the way.

10. Doing It Your Way, Sod Anyone Else: Ultimately, this day is about you and your partner. Don’t let external pressures or expectations dictate your choices. Embrace your individuality and do things your way. Whether it’s unconventional traditions, unique vows, or an offbeat venue, let your love story unfold authentically and unapologetically.
