We’ve seen a lot of beautiful weddings in our time, but sometimes the little wedding details really stand out! We picked some of favourites from our real weddings for you to like, love, and steal for your own big day…
Morning coffee run
We love this idea for coffee on the morning of the wedding. This bridal party got their caffeine fix and a brilliant wedding photo for the album in the process – thank goodness the barista had neat handwriting!
For the sniffles
What a great idea to hand out handkerchiefs before the ceremony. Saving your mother and bridesmaids from mascara smudges, and hiding your dad’s tear or two as well.
A loyal fan
Absolutely perfect for a summer wedding, this clever couple have combined the Order of the Day with a handle to make for a fan to keep their guests cool.
Rustic love
We love a rustic, country-inspired wedding with the reception decorated with wildflowers, mismatched fabrics, and so on. But why keep it for just the wedding reception? Decorate your ceremony venue to kickstart your rustic day.
Flowers and flags
The confetti shot is definitely a favourite for the wedding album. This couple added to the excitement by having little flags for their guests to wave, too! A big hit with the kids at the wedding, these flags would also be a good idea if your venue doesn’t allow you to throw confetti.
Sweet wheels
We can’t get enough of this personalised double-decker! What a great way to travel around on your wedding day in such style.
Garden games
Games like sack races, Giant Jenga and Twister are so easy to organise, and not too expensive, either. It will keep the guests fully entertained – and not just the children!
Crafty caricatures
Hiring a caricaturist to walk around your tables during your wedding reception is a fab idea. It’s great fun, and your guests will be able to take the picture home as a unique wedding favour from the day.
Best wishes
A guestbook is the place for all the guests to wish the newly married couple well in their future together. Isn’t a wishing well a bit more exciting than a book? And the guests get the benefit of making a wish, too… Check out these modern ‘guest book’ alternatives that can become apart of your new home together!

Inflatables
This bride is obviously a fearless one! Why not hire out some inflatables? It’s guaranteed fun for you and your guests, and it is a party after all… Just be careful of your dress!

Cake alternative
We’ve seen amazing cake creations, we’ve seen cupcakes, and we’ve seen cheese cakes – but scone cakes?! Complete with cream and jam, this is a very British wedding cake alternative, and we want some!
Photo opportunity
Photobooths are great to have on your wedding day because they’re a lot of fun, and the photos can make up a fab guestbook for you to look back on. This hole in the wall is a great, budget-friendly adaptation on the standard photobooth – we’d love to see more of these! Make sure you get your photobooth props at the ready too!
Dancing shoes
When you’ve been in your heels all day, there comes a point where you just can’t take them anymore. These slippers, personalised with the couple’s names, mean you and your guests can party on, and not worry about blisters in the morning. Alternatively these cost effective dancing flip flops will do the trick!
Thoughtful favours
It’s hard trying to think of the perfect favour that every guest will enjoy, and not just throw away. This couple just knew that these Hangover Kit favours would be put to good use!
And these are just a few! Our real weddings have tons of great ideas and inspiration of all kinds of themes for you to take away and put into your own wedding day, so check them out!
