Offer wedding hankies for crybaby guests

Danni and Zach’s wedding was full of cute lil DIY bits, but I rrrreeeeaaaaalllyy loved the dish they set out with wedding hankies for their teary-eyed guests. Is it the blue glass jar? The handwritten tag with lacy edge? The promise of actual cloth hankies inside, of which I am a very huge fan? I DON’T KNOW, but I love the whole damn thing.

Show solidarity with your wedding posse with temporary tattoos

A couple of tattoos at Sandra-Lee and Conrad’s wedding caught my eye and kabwoosh this awesome idea just fell into my brain. Temporary tattoos for your wedding party people. I love the idea of showing solidarity with your crew on your wedding day — who couldn’t use a little bit of extra support feels that day, right? Whether you want to let people know this is my best man, my sister, my brother, my partner in crime, whatever, there are a bazillion places to get customary temporary tattoos.

You may now kiss each other

Every once in a while, a couple comes up with a wedding alternative I’ve just never thought of before. Lo and behold, Dagny and Charlie came up with this super simple twist to a traditional ceremony script:

“It was also important to me that our first kiss as a married couple was something that both of us entered into. Traditionally, people say, ‘You may now kiss the bride.’ We opted instead for, ‘You may now kiss each other.’ For many, it seemed like a silly, small thing, but for me it was a big deal.”
