How to Make Your Wedding Truly Yours
No two weddings are the same. Sure, there are traditions and timelines, but what makes a day unforgettable isn’t whether the napkins matched the flowers, it’s the personal moments that only you two could bring to it.
We’ve filmed a lot of weddings, and the ones that stick with us always have something in common: the couple made the day feel like their own. Here are a few ways we’ve seen people do just that:
Write Letters to One Another
The morning of your wedding can feel like a blur, people rushing around, hair and makeup, schedules to keep. Taking ten quiet minutes to write each other a letter slows everything down. It’s not about perfect words, it’s about honesty. We’ve filmed brides and grooms reading their letters through tears or laughter, and those moments feel more real than anything else.
Share a First Look
Tradition says you shouldn’t see each other before the aisle, but some of the most touching moments we’ve captured are a father’s first look. It’s raw, private, and full of emotion, a quiet moment where the world fades away, and you can share a genuine connection before the day takes over.
Record Your Vows
Your vows are more than words on a page, they’re the promises you’re making to each other, in your own voices. Years from now, hearing the way you said them, with all the nerves and emotion, will mean more than you can imagine.
Add a Personal Touch on the Day
It doesn’t have to be big. Maybe it’s a signature cocktail that nods to your first date, or table names based on places you’ve traveled. We’ve seen couples bring their dogs down the aisle, and we’ve seen subtle details tucked into décor that only a handful of people would notice. Those touches make your wedding feel like you.
Choose Your Soundtrack
Music has a way of sticking with us. That first dance song? You’ll hear it in a coffee shop years later and be right back in that moment. Whether it’s a dad-daughter dance, a walk down the aisle, or the tune that gets everyone on the dance floor, your soundtrack tells part of your story.
Bring Your Own Vibe
At the end of the day, the vibe of your wedding isn’t set by the décor or the venue, it’s set by you. If you’re relaxed and laughing, your guests will feel it. If you’re sentimental and heartfelt, that’s the energy people will carry with them. Don’t worry about what’s expected. Bring your own energy, and the rest follows.
The truth is, your wedding doesn’t need to follow a script. The best ones never do. They feel personal, honest, and true to the couple at the centre of it all.
