7 Ways To Add Extra Wedding Wordy Wows Into Your Special Day & Keep It Eco Friendly At The Same Time.

Are you getting married and really want to put a gigantic, big stamp on your wedding day, or do you just want to add those extra moments of wedding wordy wows throughout the day?

I have a few tips and ideas for you here that I hope will help you create those extra gorgeous wordy written moments in your day of days.

Why not have a bespoke ceremony reading created for you? You could have a fun, serious, romantic verse, or a mix of all three in a reading that’s all about your love story, how it started and how you came to be where you are today. You could also have a shorter romantic verse, to add that element of romance. A personalised verse is so much more personal and unique than using someone else’s words and stories, why not have one of your own.

How about having a gorgeous card with a small personal verse, the size of a postcard is ideal. They would be created for each guest on a small piece of card as the table gift? If you can write them yourself, that would be amazing or you could get an expert to write them for you, an expert like My Beautiful Pen.

The cards should be from a sustainable source and card in its raw form always looks gorgeous with something like lavender attached or tied with some garden string.

How about choosing a second-hand paperback or hardback book for each guest, that either reflects each guest or that you think would be a good read for them, it could even be a little in-joke. This is such a thoughtful gesture, although when I had one at my seat it was about a Cornish wench and so do be careful what you choose as some offence could be taken. Imagine as your guests get to their seats at the reception, and find a book chosen especially for them, a little bit of string again can make the book look special. You could both write a message inside each book. How gorgeous and personal is that!

Buying second-hand books is much more eco friendly than a new book and gives the old books a new lease of life.

If you go for the book option as a table gift, you could also get some bookmarks designed with all the words that you both love on the back of the bookmark and on the front something that’s not too cheesy but looks pretty in a book and will remind them of your special day.

Choose a sustainable source for printing the bookmarks, most printers have a choice of recycled paper these days to choose from.

If you are an earthy kind of couple, how about a packet of seeds in a cute little brown envelope filled with seeds of your choice and entitled ‘Let Love Grow’. A little brown envelope looks so gorgeous with the words let love grow on and a little plant image, lavender again works so well, it doesn’t have to be in colour, black is fine and stands out if printed in calligraphy or a handwritten type font.

The little envelopes again can be from a sustainable source, or you could use old newspaper, wrapped up with a green plant or string again, that looks striking.

Place holders, we all love to choose something different. I have seen some gorgeous place holders from baubles for a Christmas wedding to wooden love hearts. I really love pinecones as they can be recycled and they are all different sizes and perfect for an autumnal, winter wedding. For the summer you could use shells instead or something summery that ties in with the theme of your wedding, like a luggage tag as everyone wants to go away in the summer.

Two of these options can be sourced for free and are a sustainable option.

Last but never least are the speeches. Now, this is the moment, that so many of us look forward to, we love the fun, we love the romance, the cheeky remarks, the references to family and friends, the best man’s speech, the groom’s speech, the father of the bride’s speech, the brides’ speech and etc. There is no more dreading the boring speeches as speeches have really come a long way since Victorian times, it’s out with the pomp and ceremony and in with the fun, tears and unity.

I am a huge fan of brides giving a speech, remember, it will be one of the few chances where you can say all those gorgeous things that you want to say in front of all the people closest to you and as it is recorded, you will have that moment forever.

Words really are the key to our hearts.

If you would like to know more about any of these options, then please do get in touch and I would love to help you get those wordy extras going.
