Some inspiration for unique wedding ideas never goes astray.<\/p>\n<h2>Personalised vows<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not feeling the stock standard &#8220;to have and to hold, from this day forward&#8230;&#8221;, why not personalise your wedding vows? What could be more personal than writing, saying, signing or even singing your vows straight from your heart? \u00a0You can still pay your respects to tradition, embrace your religion, and have a little fun at the same time. Is the trick to cheering your loved one up to always have a robust supply of cheese in the house? Promise to do so! Would it mean the world to your significant other to learn how to speak their native tongue? If so, why not learn and surprise them by saying your vows in their language?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/media.brides.com\/photos\/580e44e0489b38a131c08d0f\/master\/w_854,c_limit\/blogs-aisle-say-handwritten-vows-tied-with-rings.jpg\" alt=\"unique wedding vows\" \/><br \/>\nImage credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meganclouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Megan Clouse<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brides.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BRIDES<\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Wear your mum\u2019s wedding dress<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a bride who\u2019d like to wear something very special, you could wear your mother or grandmother\u2019s wedding dress if it\u2019s still around. Most of our older generations were married 20+ years ago now, so keepsake wedding dresses are sure to be unique. Vintage, lacey, flowing frocks can be worn as they were or modified by a skilled tailor to create a truly bespoke look.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives to the traditional wedding cake<\/h2>\n<p>Is cake not really your thing? Take some creative license with your \u2018cake\u2019 and instead of the traditional fruit cake or mud choices, why not have a \u2018cheese cake\u2019? Literally\u2026 a cake made of cheese wheels, stacked upon each other. What about a donut wall? They\u2019re fun and decorative! Or no cake at all\u2026 maybe just some nice dessert, or a night cap? Whatever suits you and your partner\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/donut-wall-wedding-cake-alternative-37-57bc39dff10e5__700.jpg\" alt=\"unique wedding donut wall\" \/><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/revistabacanal.com.ar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Revista Bacanal<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Get a friend to marry you<\/h2>\n<p>Some couples are lucky enough to know a close family friend, a friend of a friend, or religious figure who is legally able to marry them. But some are not. Being married by a complete stranger can feel a little uncomfortable for some people. If there is a special person in your life who you&#8217;d love to be involved in your big day in a very special way, you could look into getting them certified to become a marriage celebrant. It is a little bit expensive though, so it&#8217;s not for everyone&#8230; but it is a nice thought.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/media.brides.com\/photos\/580e44e14428d0e846a6006b\/master\/w_854,c_limit\/blogs-aisle-say-vows-unravel-paper.jpg\" alt=\"unqiue wedding ideas\" \/><br \/>\nImage credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tylerjonesphoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Jones<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brides.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BRIDES<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Playlist by request<\/h2>\n<p>Let your guests personalise your wedding too by letting them pick the playlist.
