Own that shit! 6 ways to help vendors understand your offbeat wedding
Your wedding can be a thousand times more amazing if all of your wedding vendors get on board with your less-traditional plans. It can be really tough for wedding vendors to shake off their traditional ideas of what a wedding should be and embrace your wedding’s uniqueness instead. I’ve been to many weddings where a vendor or two force their ideas on the clients. (It’s not fun being forced to do a first dance or parent dance by your DJ when you don’t want to.) Getting your wedding vendors on board with your offbeat wedding can definitely help your day be happier and smoother. Here are a few ideas to help you get those wedding vendors jiving with your offbeat wedding…
The first rule of this boxing match wedding: tell everyone!
Brisbane, Australia natives Christine and Kieron took a raucous route with their wedding by having a “Fight Night”-themed ceremony in a boxing ring. There was a whole lot of trash-talking, naughty jokes, and banter througout. The bout was officiated by Annie Grace Ceremonies and Dave Eller, Fight MC, and thankfully ended in a draw.
Secure your love 5ever with this love lock unity ceremony
Jessica and Tyler’s Magic the Gathering wedding featured a love lock unity ceremony where they clasped a lock around a metal tree. Love locks are popular in many cities, including Paris (so popular at the Pont des Arts, Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor, and the Pont de l’Archevêché bridges that it’s becoming an architectural problem), but also a lovely idea that, when translated into a love lock unity ceremony, makes us swoon.
These Doctor Who Porta-potties make outdoor bathrooms actually FUN
If your outdoor wedding needs some bathroom accommodations of the bright blue variety, you’re only one step away from nerdtastic Doctor Who Porta-potties. Rae and Jason had a Doctor Who meets Renaissance faire wedding and these TARDIS Porta-potties fit right in. They snagged a few large-sized police box stickers, stuck ’em on the top of the blue portable toilets, and voila: instant TARDIS.
