14 Ways to Personalise Your Intimate Wedding during the Covid-19

2020 has been a year unlike any other, prompting many to rethink their wedding plans. With the trend towards smaller, more intimate wedding gatherings, there’s a beautiful opportunity to truly personalise each aspect of your big day. Here’s how you can do it with style and sentiment.

Personalised Wedding Ideas

  1. Expressive Notes of Gratitude

Pen heartfelt notes for each guest, placing them on their table settings. This simple gesture will convey deep appreciation during times when we’re physically distant.

  1. Bespoke Visual Elements
  • Personalised wedding signs and illustrations capturing the essence of you, your partner, and your chosen venue.
  • Display family wedding photos to weave the tapestry of your shared histories.
  • Elevate your drink service with monogrammed napkins and cocktail stirrers.
  1. A Floral Connection

Incorporate flowers from loved ones’ gardens into your bouquet or table arrangements. It’s a poetic way of binding your day with the nurturing love of your circle.

  1. Welcome Packages with a Touch of 2020

Send out welcome bags ahead of the day. Make a nod to the times with a personalised bottle of sanitiser and a mask, blending safety with sentiment.

  1. Narrate Your Journey Through Tables

Dedicate tables to your most cherished travel destinations, sharing tales of past adventures and future honeymoon aspirations.

  1. Tailor-Made Elegance

Sport a bespoke dress or suit or embrace custom-designed wedding rings. The limited presence of loved ones in boutiques this year makes these choices all the more significant.

  1. A Shoe-Bound Surprise

Tuck a secret note for your partner on the sole of their wedding shoe, a charming discovery on the morning of your nuptials.

  1. Personalised Cocktails with a Dash of Humour

Serve cocktails that mirror your personal tastes. Enhance the fun with punny names inspired by your shared stories.

  1. Speeches from Both Hearts

This year has taught us the importance of voice. Regardless of tradition, both partners could seize the chance to share their heartfelt gratitude and love.

  1. Quotations that Resound

Strategically place your favourite quotes around the venue, be it on stationery, neon lights, or serving as the backdrop for your vows.

  1. Your Pet’s Special Appearance

In a year where our pets became even closer companions, let them share in your joy on the big day.

  1. Culinary Delights that Resonate

Serve up your most-loved dishes and snacks. If traditional sit-down meals feel too formal, feel free to mix it up. Why not a Charcoal BBQ?!

  1. A Collaborative Playlist

Engage your guests by inviting them to suggest songs for your reception, making everyone feel part of the rhythm of the night.

  1. Contemporary Send-Offs

In lieu of the close-knit sparkler send-off, embrace a bubble-filled departure, offering both enchantment and safety.

Reflecting on 2020, while challenges were aplenty, they brought about innovative and heartfelt ways to celebrate love. With these suggestions, your intimate wedding promises to be a tapestry of personal touches, making it a cherished memory for years to come.
