Select a Wedding Theme<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a wedding theme is the first step in tying together the entire event. Whether or not you\u2019re working with a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding planner<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, come up with a shortlist of styles or themes you like, then finalize one for your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you want a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/whimsical-wedding\">whimsical wedding<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/rustic-wedding-ideas\">rustic wedding<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a<\/span>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wedding-spotlight-nautical-coastal-wedding\">nautical-themed wedding<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or even an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/eighties-theme-party\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>80-style celebration<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Get Married During Pride Month<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your wedding to touch on themes like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marriage equality<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and LGBTQIA+ rights, there\u2019s no better time to host it than during Pride Month.

Make Your Own Wedding Traditions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding ceremony<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so make it truly your own. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ways to do this is by creating your own special wedding traditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, seat your guests in a circle to watch you exchange your vows. Introduce a cocktail <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toast<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or take a shot of your favorite spirit at the end of your ceremony. Ask the officiant or someone in your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to do a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingwire.ca\/wedding-ideas\/what-is-a-sage-smudging-ceremony--c1105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sage smudging<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Tie the knot (literally) with a rope to signify your union. Invite everyone to join you for a camping adventure after the reception. There\u2019s no wrong answer \u2014 celebrate your love in your own unique way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Customize Your <\/b><b>Wedding Party<\/b><b> Lineup<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wedding tradition suggests you need a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best man<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a maid of honor, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridesmaids<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">groomsmen<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to form a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But feel free to throw tradition out the window and have a blast making up your own rules. Have friends of all genders stand alongside you during the ceremony, go solo and forego the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> altogether, or have your pets by your side \u2014 it\u2019s up to you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Introduce Some DIY Elements<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great way to add more creativity to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gay wedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to make something by hand. We love the idea of a<\/span>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/greenweddingshoes.com\/diy-wedding-backdrops-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIY wedding backdrop<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and personalizing it with your names, or creating your own<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loveandlavender.com\/wedding-guest-book-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guest book alternative<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where guests can leave a sweet message to you both. If you\u2019re crafty, introduce more DIY elements \u2014 if not, choose one option that\u2019s doable and that you\u2019ll cherish forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Write Your Own Wedding Vows<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional vows are always an option, but a sweet way to bring more of yourselves to the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nuptials<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to write your own wedding vows. Be inspired by your love for each other, your quirks, your love story, and all the things that make you who you are. Sprinkle these stories into your \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I do<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d moment for a ceremony that is unlike any other. And if you need some inspiration, not to worry \u2014 you can always use these <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/ring-exchange-wording\">ring exchange wording<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Add Rainbow Colors to Your <\/b><b>Big Day<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrate in style by bringing a pop of rainbow fun to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding ceremony<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and reception. Rent a giant rainbow to act as a photo backdrop or ceremony arch, or weave rainbow colors into your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding cake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, table decor, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bouquets<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Stick with traditional bold colors or switch to a pastel rainbow for a more subtle take on the trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9.

Even if you don\u2019t go all-out on the rainbow theme, including rainbow layers in your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding cake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a sweet nod to Pride. You don\u2019t need rainbows, though \u2014 elegant edible flowers, a handmade cake topper, or a stunning ombr\u00e9 finish all make for an impressive dessert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11.

Feel free to rock tuxedo tails with a pair of shorts, a pantsuit or jumpsuit instead of a traditional gown, or anything that brings you joy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to colors and fabrics, stick with the same <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/best-wedding-colors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>wedding color palette<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to match \u2014 or go bold and wear completely different shades to embrace the contrast and showcase your own individual styles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>12.

Hand out eco-friendly seed packets for your guests to scatter on the lawn, brightly colored sunglasses at your beach wedding, or rainbow shot glasses for them to use during a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toast<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
