"When thinking unique, I always try to think, personal. So anything personalized, we can do and that doesn't have to be, put your initials on everything, put your date on everything. The biggest thing is, do you guys love music? Do you collect records? If so, let's break out some of those records and use them on the tables as chargers for the plates. Put a big stack of records on the bar and put a flower arrangement on top of it. Just really try to incorporate that. Does someone love cigars? If so, let's get someone in to hand roll cigars and personalize, then pass them out to all your wedding guests. They can be used as favors or enjoy them that night. So really just try to, what means the most to you, and let's put that out here for everyone to see. Think of your favorite colors, think of textures. Use those textures, whether it be in linens or on your invitations, custom napkins, anything like that. So really get a good idea of you style and, or your theme. And by theme, it doesn't have to be a nineteen sixties theme to party, I don't mean that at all by theme. But are you going to play off, of a season, are you going to play off, of fall? And kind of theme it and use brown linens and hurricane vases and load it up with peaches and you know, just do some seasonal things. Is that where you're going? Really get a good idea before you move on to the next step."
