Non-Traditional Wedding Ideas

Traditional brides wear white wedding dresses and get married in June, right? Isn't that every girl's dream? Not always. Sometimes a girl likes to shake things up and do things a little bit differently.

My best girlfriend got remarried last weekend at the resort at China Peak and had a not-so-traditional cake topper on her wedding cake.

 

Add a personal touch to your big day by writing a special message or favorite line from a poem for your guests to enjoy - like the one on these coasters.

 

Bling it yourself! Add some sparkle to a pair of flats by adding glitter or rhinestones at a huge cost savings than if you bought them already embellished. 

Want an alternative to the traditional wedding bouquet? Make your floral arrangement using crocheted flowers or recycled doilies. Great idea, huh?

Finally, be yourself! If you aren't a white wedding dress kind of girl, do what songstress Avril Lavign did - she rocked a black gown to exchange vows with Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger last weekend.
