AD- This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions remain my own.
Whether you’re in a relationship or you’re loving single life, everyone has basic ideas about what they want from their life when it comes to marriage, children, or careers. Marriage is a big part of many people’s lives, and it has been for years.
While marriage began as a family exchange, it is now the way that millions of people across the world express their love for their partner, and commit themselves legally, emotionally, and (for some) religiously.
These days, weddings come in all shapes and sizes! Some are classic and elegant, others are fun and unusual.
In this post, I thought it would be fun to come up with 5 unique features of my dream wedding. I want to imagine what fun and interesting features I would have at my imaginary wedding, and allow myself to dream about what that day might entail.
Fantastic DJ
It might seem basic, but a fantastic DJ is a must! They let you play all your favourite songs, and I think they add a more fun and informal element to that nerve-wracking first dance and the fun evening party.
I love the idea of a proper wedding sound system and pretty lights, and I think the party reception afterwards almost sounds more fun than the ceremony!
Unique Lighting
I love the idea of unique lighting that casts an elegant and glamorous look on the wedding. I know you can get light up versions of the word “Love” or your married name, for example, and I think this is such a cute touch to a wedding reception.
I would love to add a romantic glow to the day, using fairy lights or yellow bulbs to create a nice glow.
Wedding Post Box
I recently saw this idea, and I love it! A wedding post box is basically a place where you can store all of your gifts and well wishes, and I think it’s so much more elegant than a box or other container.
I love that you can get these personalised, and I think they are a unique feature for a modern wedding.
The Perfect Dress
I know it’s a cliché, but my dream wedding would not be complete without the perfect dress. I’m not 100% sure what this would look like, but I’d love something classic and traditional for when I walk down the aisle.
I think choosing a wedding dress is a big event, and going to try on dresses with my family and friends would be a lot of fun in the run-up to my dream wedding.
Limited Guest List
I wouldn’t want a lot of people at my dream wedding, and while it’s fantastic when people have huge ceremonies- that wouldn’t be my ideal situation.
I don’t even like being centre of attention on my birthday, so my dream wedding would just include the people I love the most- and a limited guest list.
What would you want at your dream wedding? Did you have any of these unique features? What unique features would you want at your dream wedding?

We love that you included the DJ. That’s one thing people remember most about weddings. They might not remember every detail, but they will remember having fun.

Ah, what a fun post! Our wedding was unique to us – we eloped and got married in Key West, with beer and pizza for a wedding supper and were joined by about 30 Harley Davidson bikers! x

I love that you have a vision for your wedding, as it can be such a big day, it’s nice to have an idea of what you want and how best to celebrate your love. I didn’t have any of these as my husband and I just went on down to the courthouse and got married. That isn’t for everyone but for us, it actually felt really spontaneous, exciting and just for us. I love all your ideas, they sound wonderful!

I love this. The little touches are what really help make your wedding unique and personal. I always read about people with their big dress fittings and the shopping experience, but it’s not something that I had personally. Rather than going shopping for a dress, we took my mother’s dress from 1985 and had it altered and reworked for me to wear on my wedding day. it was so special and meaningful, especially considering the fact that my sister was the one that did all the work and she found some great ways to add a personal touch.
