How to Reflect Your Personality in Your Wedding Details Effortlessly

Ditch the generic and embrace the you-nique!

Your wedding day is a special moment that you will treasure forever, so it’s only fitting if you and your partner infuse your personalities on the details of your wedding ceremony and reception.

Whether you are celebrating on a stunning golf club, like the Nottinghamshire, or somewhere else that’s just as unique; adding personal touches is one of the best parts of any wedding day celebration.

Here are some of the best ways to personalise your wedding in Nottingham!

Identify which elements of your personality you want to reflect

Among all of your characteristics and traits, choose one or two important elements that you would like to include in your wedding.

Consider…

How do your friends and family describe your personality? Are you romantic, energetic, outgoing, or shy?

Are you known for your adventurous spirit? Plan a getaway honeymoon or incorporate a travel theme into your décor.

Do you and your partner share a love for laughter? Uplift your ceremony with light-hearted vows or hire a comedian for the reception.

Are you both bookworms? Create a signature cocktail named after your favourite literary characters or use vintage books as centrepieces

Did you meet at a music festival? Hire a live band or DJ that reflects your musical taste and let loose on the dance floor!

Are you both movie buffs? Quote your favourite films in your vows, incorporate iconic cinema props, or theme your tablescapes around classic movies.

Whatever your unique quirks are, consider them when making your wedding planning decisions.

Turn these traits into colours

After identifying the ideas you want to reflect, get creative on how you’ll incorporate them into the details – using colour is an easy way to do this!

For calm and romantic people, soft and muted warm tones can be ideal. If you’re high-energy and full of fun, opt for a colour scheme that’s bold and bright.

You can even match your colour scheme to your personal style:

• Romantic & elegant: Blush pink, ivory, champagne, soft lavender
• Fun & energetic: Sunshine yellow, turquoise, coral, pops of fuchsia pink
• Outdoorsy & adventurous: Emerald green, burnt orange, mustard yellow, pops of teal
• Sophisticated & timeless: Navy blue, charcoal grey, silver, touches of gold
• Creative & bold: Royal purple, fiery orange, emerald green, pops of fuchsia
• Whimsical & playful: Lavender, light peach, mint green, touches of gold
• Intellectual & classic: Deep burgundy, sage green, antique gold, touches of cream
• Modern & minimalist: Black, white, metallic silver or rose gold, pops of a bright accent colour
• Rustic & earthy: Terracotta, dusty rose, sage green, natural wood tones
• Vintage & nostalgic: Dusty blue, mustard yellow, blush pink, touches of floral print.

Think outside the box

When reflecting your personality in your wedding, try to think outside the box. If you like watching movies, you don’t necessarily have to decorate your reception venue with movie posters.

Instead, you could name your tables after your favourite movies. By getting creative, you can weave in elements of your personality without being overly literal.

Use all your senses

Let your guests experience your wedding by using all their senses by incorporating your personality into what they see, taste, hear, feel and smell.

Choose a wedding venue where you and your partner feel at home; put some of your favourite food on the wedding menu, choose songs that reflect your style, and add different textures into your linens that complement the theme of your wedding.
Include small touches like flowers, plants, or fruits to scent the room.

Don’t forget the small details

Remember that even the smallest details count – you can infuse your personality in the style of your invitation, menu cards, and in your bouquet.

Those little touches will make your big day even more memorable!

Let your personality through with the following details:

• Welcome sign: Ditch the standard wording and create a sign that reflects your personality with a funny quote or a silhouette
• Vows: Write your own to express your love story and quirks
• Seating chart: Instead of using numbers, name tables after things that reflect you and your partner
• Favours: Choose a wedding favour that reflects a shared interest such as customised candles or shot glasses.

Consider the location of the venue

Did you meet while strolling through Nottingham’s cobbled streets? Saying “I do” here would be a sweet nod to your beginnings.

Perhaps you’re both history buffs – Nottingham’s rich past is on display everywhere, making The Nottinghamshire a backdrop steeped in local lore.

No matter how your story began, personal touches can take The Nottinghamshire from a simply stunning venue, to a deeply personal exhibition of your love.
