Ways to Add a Personal Touch to Your Wedding Day

Your wedding is your most special day, and once all the details are put together, it becomes the most beautiful thing!  There are so many unique ways to go about wedding planning, but it’s the little details that make all the difference and go a long way.  Adding a personal touch to your wedding day is one of the best ways to make the day unique to you and your fiancé and really wow your guests!  If you’re in the process of planning a wedding, or know a bride who is, consider these gorgeous and unique ideas to personalize your wedding.

1. Personalized Dress Hangers
Personalized wedding hangers make the perfect addition to any wedding day for hanging dresses and robes, regardless if you’re the bride or a bridesmaid.  These hangers are great gifts for everyone involved on the big day and make for cute keepsakes later on.

My personal favorite wedding hangers are these gold glitter custom hangers from GraceWeddingHangers on Etsy.  They are sold individually or as a set of hangers.  The glitter is covered with a clear sealant, so there’s no need to worry about lose glitter.  You can get custom names, or opt for something like Mother of the Bride, Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid, and Flower Girl. The possibilities are endless! 2. Custom Wedding Guestbook
There are guestbooks and then there are custom wedding guestbooks.  Custom guestbooks really let you add a personal touch to your wedding day.  I searched long and hard for the perfect guest book to put on our welcome table and finally came across this hard cover guest book from B. Gregory Design and I must say I’m obsessed.

Since our colors are blush pink and gold, this guestbook couldn’t have been a more perfect fit!  It’s made with real raised gold foil and is total eye candy! You can customize it with your names and wedding date on both the cover and spine, as well as add a personal touch to the back.  If pink and gold aren’t your wedding colors, no worries! You can request custom colors as well! Be sure to check out B. Gregory Design’s other wedding items, because she also makes luxury stationary that is swoon worthy!
3. Monogrammed Getting Ready Robes
While you’re relaxing and getting ready for your big day, you’ll want something comfy to lounge in that won’t ruin your hair after.  Robes are the perfect addition to the wedding day because of this, and they also make for great bridesmaids gifts!  When you and your girls are in matching robes, you’ll have some of the cutest getting ready photos.

After comparing a few shops, I decided to order my bridal robe from Magnificent Motifs.  The shop owner, Zeliha, was extremely accommodating and did everything in her power to ensure I was 100% satisfied with my robe before sending it my way.  She went out of her way to ensure I was ordering the correct size and helped me chose the perfect thread color to match my wedding colors. Did I mention she also has some of the most reasonable prices around!? If you want to feel extra special on your wedding day, or give your bridesmaids a gift they’ll use year round, these custom embroidered robes are a must have!
4. Custom Koozies for FavorsA fun way to personalize your wedding is by giving custom wedding favors!  Koozies are a great favor to give out at your wedding and can easily be personalized with your names, wedding date, and wedding colors.

There are so many out there to chose from, but in my opinion, Rook Design Co. has by far the prettiest designs.  You can order them in just about any color you’d hope for, making it incredibly easy to coordinate to your wedding.  My favorite designs are these monogrammed koozies and these fun eat drink and be married doozies!  Rook Design Co. also has designs that would make the perfect addition to any bachelorette trip!
5. Handmade Custom Veil
A handmade veil is the way to go if you want the perfect match to your wedding dress! When it came down to my wedding veil, I knew it had to be perfect, so I searched everywhere.  I tried on more veils than I could count in bridal boutiques, and while they were pretty, I still couldn’t find the right shade and style of lace to match my dress. That’s when I turned to Blanca Veils and it’s been the best decision I made!

Samantha, the designer behind Blanca Veils carefully hand makes each veil to your desire.  The thought of purchasing something as important as this online sounds scary at first, but trust me when I say it is very simple and easy to do, and ends up being the better way to go!

Prior to purchasing your veil, you can request a swatch sample packet which will come with a variety of lace and tulle swatches to match up to the exact shade of your dress, as well as various lace appliqués so you can find the perfect fit.  Blanca Veils ended up having the exact appliqués as my wedding dress, in the exact shade of ivory, which I couldn’t find anywhere else.  It really was the perfect fit.  The custom veil builder makes the process super easy and lets you get exactly what you want with no compromise! Oh and did I mention the price is an absolute steal?  Check out some of their beautiful veils to see for yourself here!
6. Personalized Second Line Handkerchief
This one is for all you New Orleans and southern loving brides out there! Here in New Orleans, no wedding celebration is complete without a second line! For those unfamiliar with this Nola wedding tradition, a second line is a street parade lead by a brass band and the bride and groom to celebrate the newlyweds.  All wedding guests parade in a line following the bride and groom in celebration!  It’s tradition for the bride and groom to parade with second line umbrellas, while the rest of the guests parade around waving handkerchiefs in the air!

I wanted our second line handkerchiefs to be a special keepsake guests could take afterwards, so I ordered some custom handkerchiefs from a local company, Second Line Handkerchiefs. They make it easy to personalize your wedding by offering a variety of designs to choose from, which are all are customizable by color, font, your name, and wedding date.  If you have your own custom design in mind, they’ll do that for you too! Second Line Handkerchiefs is your one stop shop for all your Nola wedding second line needs since they also offer second line umbrellas in many cute designs! These little personal touches made all the difference on my wedding day! Be sure to check them out on Facebook for the latest updates!
