Ideas for Personalizing your Wedding

1. Float edible petals in cocktails, or add colorful candy sticks as stirrers.
2. If you have the time, a personalized note on each escort card will surely make an impression! Guests will not forget being welcomed at your wedding with a handwritten note. It also makes for a nice keepsake.
3. Heirloom Cake Toppers: It's your something borrowed. For added meaning and uniqueness, ask your baker to create a layer using the same flavors as your parents/his parents, grand parents, etc, the origional owners of the cake topper.
4. As a nice surprise for your Bridesmaids, add a single flower that signifies your relationship or feelings about that person with the flowers meaning.
For Instance:

a. For the bridesmaid who has always made you seen the good in any situation: Calla Lilies, symbolizing Beauty.
b. For your childhood friend who has been by your side from the first crush to the last: Purple Lilacs, symbolizing First Love.
c. For your sister: Blue Violets, like the flowers meaning indicates, she has always been your most faithful friend.
