Fun Wedding Ideas

The simplest way to make your wedding memorable is to plan it around some unique theme. Some of the most popular themes these days are butterfly theme, tropical theme, sunflower theme as well as themes based on seasons such as fall, spring and summer. Once you decide on the theme, all other things such as decorations, invitations, food, music, etc. should revolve around it. Besides choosing an interesting theme, there are a number of other things that you can do to make your wedding even more fun. Given below are some of the most fun wedding ideas.

Arrange for a Candy Buffet
Since a marriage in a way symbolizes the couple's transformation from being footloose to being responsible, one of the apt ways to say goodbye to one's "childhood" is to arrange for a candy buffet. The candy buffet should be planned in accordance with the wedding colors and theme. Keep candies of different colors in containers of numerous sizes and shapes. To decorate the candy buffet, keep floral arrangements, pillar candles as well as the couple's childhood photographs all around it. A good idea for wedding favors would be to keep empty containers on the side and have the guests pick their own candies to take home with them.

A Family-made Wedding Cake
Instead of just ordering a cake, ask your close friends and family to bring home-made pastries and baked goods for you. These family made offerings can be arranged nicely to look like a cake at your reception. Keep a note on the side for the rest of the guests, explaining them how the cake was made. It will indeed be something you will remember for the rest of your life!

Involve the Guests in Unity Ceremony
A modern version of the traditions, such as a unity ceremony can be included in the wedding to make it a unique experience. An interesting unity idea is to give all the guests unlit candles. Thereafter, when the unity ceremony is about to proceed, the oldest guest present at the wedding is given a lit candle. From this candle, the flame is passed on from one guest to another, even as the bride and the groom themselves lit their unity candle. Through this ceremony, the bride and the groom are in a way seeking the blessings of all the guests present at their wedding.

Plan a Beach Wedding
In a beach wedding, the environment around - the sunset, the sea and the waves surfing up the sand noisily, are more than enough to mesmerize your guests so you do not need to plan extensive decorations, cutting down immensely on your cost. On top of that, there is nothing more romantic than a couple taking their wedding vows amidst the splendid natural environs. An interesting idea is to use things like marbles, pearls, prompts of star fish and dolphins, seashells, driftwoods, oars, etc. - anything that one associates with sea to decorate the venue.

Bridal Lanterns in place of Bouquets
Another fun idea is to have the bridesmaid as well as the bridegroom hold glittering, decorative lanterns as the bride walks up the aisle. Later the very lanterns can be given to them as gift. Such lamps can really lit up the venue, especially if the wedding is in the night. They can make your wedding look dazzling and special!

Here's hoping that these ideas will serve as an inspiration when you set out for wedding planning. One last tip on making your wedding even more entertaining and memorable for the guests - assign each of the tables a song. Whenever that song is played, the guests on that table have to get up and dance. This would ensure maximum participation translating into maximum fun at your wedding!
