While personalizing your wedding day can be an undoubtedly expensive and time-consuming affair, it is one way to set it apart and ensure that it is truly one of a kind.

Here are a few suggestions and decorating ideas for personalizing your wedding and making it unique.

Monogramming

The traditional practice of monogramming is great for personalizing your wedding day. Incorporating the bride and groom's intertwined initials on everything, from the chair covers and table runners to the wedding favors put a distinctly personal touch to the whole event. Do not forget to include the monogram into the wedding invitations and all the other wedding stationery as well. Personalized invitations and stationery and personalized wedding favors reveal your exacting attention to your detail from start to finish.

Get accessories such as your hand bag and cufflinks monogrammed and you will have some wonderful family heirlooms that you can pass down for generations. You can even get the bridal couple's initials worked into the bride's long veil for a look that's ultra-coordinated.

Personalizing Your Wedding Day with Colors

The key to personalizing your wedding day with colors is to use color not to overwhelm but to add surprising accents. To personalize an all-white wedding you can either go with the monogramming or you could choose any one color and incorporate tiny bits of this color into unexpected places. Pretty pale blue pair of shoes that peek out every once in a while when the hem of the gown is lifted; a few stems of blue roses interspersed in the all-white bouquet, light blue candles strewn everywhere add delightful personalizing accents. Complementary or contrasting, the color combination of your wedding reception is yours to choose. To avoid a look that is unnecessarily loud, remember to always use the lighter color as the all-over color and use the darker color as an accent color.

Using photographs to Personalize Your Wedding Day

Incorporating the bridal couple's photograph into the wedding décor means you'll have a wedding that is truly and completely unique. Once you've chosen the photograph that you wish to use you can choose colors from the photograph and use those as your wedding colors. Sepia photographs have an old-world look and feel and are a great way to personalize a traditional style wedding.

Colors, candles, flowers and photographs; the sky's the limit when it comes to ideas for personalizing your wedding day. The best place to look for inspiration to kick-start your imagination is the internet where many wedding organizers showcase the best of the best. Borrow their ideas, add your own unique detailing and you can be sure your wedding will truly be the only one of its type.
