• Consider a natural and open venue.
• Hire a videographer that will make your wedding moments more passionate and artistic.
• Have a diverse musical selection, for example, a jazz singer for the cocktail hour and an 80s cover band for dancing.

8 ways to personalize your wedding day

Here are eight ways to make your wedding as unique as you are:

1. If you're having a small, informal wedding, 50 guests or less, write your invitations yourself.
2. Choose a ceremony date that has a special meaning for you as a couple.
3. Have a ring bearer that's not a child, like your dog, for example.
4. If you really want to, have a Man of Honor or Best Woman instead of a Maid/Matron of Honor or Best Man.
5. Let the ringbearer carry something other than a pillow.
6. Serve a signature drink at the reception, and name it after yourselves.
7. Use lanterns overhead. Some to choose from include Chinese rice papers, rustic hurricanes or sleek glass.
8. Remember that color is one of the best ways to put your personal stamp on your wedding.
