Wedding Ideas with Personality

Not every wedding has to follow the same script. Some of my favourite moments have come from couples who did things their own way — simple changes that made the day feel more personal and memorable. Here are a few ideas I’ve seen that might spark something for you:

Cheese Wheel Cake
Why have one cake when you can have a tower of cheese? It’s fun, delicious, and doubles as late-night snacks.

Polaroid Guest Photos
Instead of a guestbook, Polaroid cameras on the tables meant everyone left behind little snapshots of each other — imperfect, candid, and full of personality.

Make-Your-Own Rings Workshop
I love this one: couples taking a short jewellery-making workshop and creating their own rings. You end up with something that’s entirely yours.
There are a few places around Brisbane doing this sort of thing:
• Vin Moulds & Sons run hands-on workshops where you can make sterling silver or solid gold rings under expert guidance.
• ByMe Jewellery Workshop also offers intimate silversmithing and ring-making classes.

Custom Craft Beer Labels
Here’s one that blends local flavour and personal detail: craft beers made in Brisbane (or nearby), with custom wedding labels. You pick a style, brew it, taste it, then slap on a label that’s uniquely yours. It’s a pretty sweet keepsake for guests, and doubles as part of your décor.

• Make My Beer offers custom-labelled craft cans with your own design on three brew styles — perfect for couples who want something local and memorable. Make My Beer

• Whitelabel Brewing similarly lets you create branded beer for your wedding, with that personal touch in both design and sip. whitelabelbrewing.com.au+1
