Brides and grooms everywhere are having unique weddings that show who they are. I, as a wedding planner, believe that it is very important to put your personality into your wedding. You can do this a number of ways. 

Stationery

Your invitations are the first piece of your wedding that your guests will experience. They are a clue to the guests as to the formality and they can also reveal a part of you. If you both love to travel, perhaps a map invitation would be a clever start.

Theme

Your theme can be obvious or it can be more subtle. In keeping with the love of traveling, your theme could be quite blunt by naming each table with a country instead of a number, or it could be slightly more subtle, by serving your favorite French pastry on your dessert table.

Flowers

Import fresh flowers from out of country.

Catering

If you opt for buffet style, consider setting up three stations with cuisine from your three favorite countries.

Whatever it is you and your future spouse like, try to make it a part of your wedding. Your wedding will be more memorable for your guests and more fun for you!
