We see <\/span>a lot<\/span><\/i> of weddings. Every year, our team reviews thousands—yes, thousands—of real wedding submissions for Junebug Weddings. We know a thing or two about unique weddings. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re searching for unique wedding ideas in hopes to replicate them—we have news for you. You’re not going to find the perfect unique wedding on Pinterest or even on this blog. The word ‘unique’ literally means “being unlike anything else.” How could you be unlike anything else while copying someone else’s day?<\/span><\/p>\n

We’re here to help you dig deep to create your day. Let us inspire you to discover your own unique, one-of-a-kind, original style. Then, we’ll turn it into your wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes a Unique Wedding?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We’re giddy with excitement when we open a real wedding submission and immediately feel like we personally know the bride and groom. Careful choices create a sense of personality. Examples of choices that show your unique tastes are a totally rad location, a choice to <\/span>use only female vendors<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>a replica of your favorite board game as a backdrop for photos<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to Use Inspiration You Find Online<\/span><\/h2>\n

Finding inspiration is okay! In fact, we recommend finding photos to help guide decisions and spark creative ideas. For example, if you find a photo of stunning table arrangements, take that photo to your florist and explain why you like it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Can you add a flower that represents you? Maybe you can source vintage vases to hold the flowers. Or keep the arrangements as-is and <\/span>design napkins with fun facts about you as a couple<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Create a Mood Board of Inspiration vs. Replicating<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Designing a <\/span>wedding mood board<\/span><\/a> can provide a centralized place to collect ideas and inspiration photos. Be sure to include a variety of photos—not just wedding photos. Including images of outfits, home decor, and graphic designs can help <\/span>your wedding team<\/span><\/a> brainstorm unique ideas for your day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let Go of Expectations<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you’re dreaming of a unique wedding, it’s important to let go of any preconceived notions about what a wedding “should be.” Forget what you’ve seen at friends weddings or what your parents say you <\/span>have<\/span><\/i> to do. Your highest priority should be to create a day that makes you feel comfortable, <\/span>present in the moment<\/span><\/a>, and has thoughtful touches at every turn. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to Communicate You’re Breaking Tradition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Be blunt, honest, and communicate your desires clearly. We promise you’ll feel empowered by doing so. Try using any of these options when you’re communicating your unique ideas:<\/p>\n
