Whimsical Wedding

Weddings are all about personal expression, creativity, and doing things with your own flair (oh, and getting married, of course). It is a great chance to create a beautiful environment that will enchant your guests. To make your event even more memorable, add a little whimsy to your wedding.

Whimsy is defined as “having a quaint or fanciful quality”. Add a touch of whimsy to your wedding by introducing unique and playful elements. It is a great way to make your wedding feel warm and inviting.

A good place to start is with your bridal ensemble. Simple or formal gowns can be transformed by a few key accessories. For instance, you could use a funky vintage brooch to secure a waist sash or bustle. Handmade wedding jewelry presents many ways to add some whimsy to your outfit. The unique and custom qualities of handmade wedding jewelry make it a natural choice for a bride wishing to make her ensemble feel fanciful. Look for bridal jewelry with dashes of color or interesting forms.

The natural world can be a wonderful source of inspiration. Create whimsical centerpieces from branches by wiring live flowers and tiny handmade bird ornaments to them. The tiny birds will add the perfect note of playfulness and surprise to your decorations.

Another idea is to select unusual vessels for your flowers. An eclectic collection of vintage teapots would be quaint and charming. Mix tiny wax flowers into your arrangements to echo the dainty floral designs typically found on old tea sets.

You can also design around a special theme to add flair to your reception. Instead of hanging chandeliers, why not hang something playful and colorful like fancy miniature hot air balloons? Or turn your reception site into a replica of your honeymoon destination.

Cakes are a great place to be expressive. Instead of the basic round tiers, you could choose a topsy turvy cake, with tiers tilting on top of each other (picture something from Dr. Suess). The wedding cake could also be square, with each tier turned at an angle for a neat effect. Choose fun decorations, such as polka dots, bold patterns, or cheerful colors for a whimsical wedding cake.

Certainly your wedding stationary and favors can be as fun and whimsical as you like. Set the tone for your wedding by sending out custom save the date cards. They can be silly, charming, unique, or anything in between. One couple I knew used a photograph of a snowman (an actual snowman) holding a sign with the details of their upcoming winter wedding. Choose stationary and favors that are distinctive and show your personality.

Adding a little whimsy to your wedding day is a wonderful way to keep the day feeling lighthearted and celebratory. It shows that you know how to have fun, and do not take yourself too seriously, which is always appealing. There is no right or wrong approach; to add a spirit of playfulness and whimsy to your wedding, just follow your heart.
