Something Old, Something New, Something...Personal


Written by Brandi Klingerman


Every bride wants her wedding to stand apart from all the others. But how? My cousin, now Halee Williams, recently got married and she really knew how to tie in personal elements from her and her husband’s relationship and her family traditions to make the wedding memorable.


From dining at the rehearsal dinner to dancing at the reception there was a little touch of Halee and Frank everywhere. Halee took advantage of a favorite dessert she and Frank have always loved: Chocolate Eruption Cake from Beef O’Brady’s. The cake is delicious and at the rehearsal dinner Halee and Frank had a slice served to each member of the wedding party. They even explained what the cake meant to them.
These small elements make the day all the more fun for the guests and all the more special for the bride. It takes all the special moments of the bride and groom together for the guests to see. Adding personal touches can enhance the entire experience for everyone at the wedding, the bride, the groom and the guests.

We've got some ideas for you to inspire and encourage you to add some personal touches for your upcoming wedding.

The Groom Cake

Boxed slices of a groom's cake can be used as a wedding favor for your guests. If you do this, make sure that the box has a little something extra. Decorate the box to match a moment of you and your new husband.

More about adding personal touches will be on the way as the next article will be about how to influence your other parts of your wedding personal to you. Also a new article all about the history and the tradition of just what exactly a groom cake is and what it can be for you.
