Let’s talk about unique wedding ideas to make your wedding stand out. Why? Wedding trends can change on a dime, one minute you are loving the “not so random” dance routine the bride and groom do in the middle of their first dance, and then after the eighth wedding couple does the same thing to different music you can easily see it at so yesterday.
One thing about trends is that you use and see them over and over until one day it is done. Just like that. So instead, I figured sharing some unique wedding ideas will be a better alternative to wedding trends. Here are some ideas to make your wedding stand out.
 4 Unique Wedding Ideas to Make Your Wedding Stand Out
1. Drone Photography & Selfie Station
I kid you not, this idea of a bird’s eye view of a couple is hitting a new high. Now you can have images or yes even videos of your ceremony way up high. Capturing the scenery, you walking down the aisle, family reactions plus more all without having the photography men standing (aka taking away this moment from others) in the way of your guests.
Also, some couples are skipping the whole photo booths and replacing them with selfie stations. Even adding a wedding hashtag to go along with it to share on Instagram.
2. Food Displays or Installations & Food Trucks
Didn’t your mom ever tell you not to play with your food? Well, you don’t have to listen anymore with these food displays. You can play, design and now use food in any way you want for your wedding. From using food as escort cards to having your reception food displayed in a completely over-the-top kind of way.
Food Stylists are now making their way to the must-haves list. If that isn’t your thing, then maybe you will like the food truck trend that has been rolling in. I for one can guarantee that food trucks are not your average hot dog anymore.
3. One, Two, Three Dresses & Detachable Trains
Apparently, one dress and even two dresses are not enough anymore now brace your wallets for a third dress. Why? Some brides now want dresses for every part of the wedding, one for the ceremony, one for the reception and one for an after-party (and here I thought the party ended after the reception). If you are one of those brides who just can’t decide then this trend will be perfect for you. Go big or go home!
Of course, like many brides, I think one dress is enough. But if you are wanted a second dress without breaking the bank, think about getting yourself a dress with a detachable train. It is perfect to keep your wedding dress classy at the altar and sassy on the dance floor (in other words it acts like two dresses).
4. Non-Traditional Venues
Move over banquet halls, you are so last season. If you are tired of the typical ballroom feel then this trend is the perfect alternative choice unless you want your wedding to be in a barn. Lately, couples are gearing more into museums, lofts and restaurants. It gives them food menu freedom, but these places are not always a cheap alternative.
Lastly, you can find unique venues to host your wedding using a company I used called Giggster (formally called ThisOpenSpace) or find great photo studios that have small wedding options as well.
Final Thoughts
