7 Ways to Make Your Wedding Feel Custom

At Ruby Jane Events, we truly immerse ourselves in your unique vision and craft a wedding that feels incredibly personal. We want your wedding day to be bursting with details that resonate with you as a couple, a day that leaves your guests raving about how “perfectly you.” Here are 7 ways to infuse your wedding with personality and create a celebration that’s anything but ordinary:

1. A Meaningful Location: Your wedding venue sets the stage for your love story. Instead of settling for a generic ballroom, consider a location that holds special meaning for you as a couple. Did you have your first date at a charming winery? Exchange vows amidst the rolling vines. Perhaps you met rock climbing—what about a ceremony at a stunning outdoor venue with breathtaking cliffside views? The possibilities are endless, and a meaningful location sets the tone for a truly unforgettable experience.

2. Personalized Stationery: Your wedding invitations and stationery suite are the first glimpses your guests will have of your special day. We’ll work with you to design custom invitations that reflect your unique style and the essence of your love story. From incorporating meaningful colors or motifs to featuring a hand-drawn illustration that captures your personalities, your stationery will be a cherished keepsake long after the RSVPs have been received.

3. A Soundtrack of Memories: Music is a powerful tool for creating atmosphere and evoking emotions. Ditch the generic DJ playlist and curate a selection of music that speaks to your heart. Did you have a song that played on your first dance? Include it! Perhaps there’s a band you’ve dreamt of seeing live? Splurge on a live performance that will have you and your guests swaying the night away.

4. Accessories with a Story: Your wedding attire is a reflection of your personal style and a way to express yourselves. Choose accessories that tell your story. The groom can ditch the black tie for a custom-made suit in a color that reflects his personality. The bride can choose a vintage gown passed down through generations or a whimsical tea-length dress that allows her to dance the night away in comfort. Every detail, from the shoes you choose to the cufflinks adorning the groom’s sleeves, can be an opportunity to add a personal touch.

5. Entertainment that Matches Your Passions: The reception is a time to celebrate with loved ones, and entertainment plays a big role in creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Try to choose activities that speak to you and your partner. Are you both avid board game enthusiasts? Set up a game lounge for guests to mingle and enjoy some friendly competition. Do you share a love for the great outdoors? Plan lawn games or even a stargazing session for a truly unique experience.

6. Family Traditions Woven In: Your wedding day is about celebrating not just your love story but also the families that brought you together. Incorporate cherished family traditions or heirlooms into your ceremony or reception. Perhaps your grandfather officiates the wedding, or your siblings perform a special cultural dance. These personal touches not only add a layer of sentimentality but also honor your family heritage.

7. A Menu Crafted with Love: Food is a universal language of love, and your wedding menu is a chance to showcase your personalities and preferences. Move beyond the typical plated meal and consider a menu that reflects your favorite cuisines. Did you bond over late-night taco runs? Surprise your guests with a gourmet taco bar. Do you share a love for all things Italian? Create a family-style feast that encourages conversation and connection.

By incorporating these elements, your wedding will transform from a generic celebration into a one-of-a-kind reflection of your unique love story.
