Your wedding should reflect your unique romance, so consider the following ways to add your personality to your special celebration. That way, you can always look back and recognize the little touches that marked the next stage in your love story.
Vintage Hotels’ brides are certainly not the one-size-fits-all type of event planners. They want highly customized visions that incorporate romance, sophistication and elegance. In order to achieve the ideal wedding – from ceremony through to reception – we’ve compiled a list of the most popular and unique ways to personalize your wedding.
But, with Vintage Hotels, the possibilities for personalization are truly endless, so don’t hesitate to think beyond this list. You’ll be absolutely blown away by what our trusted vendors and event specialists can achieve with a bit of creative freedom in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Make Your Wedding Registry Your Own
When planning your gift registry, practically anything you can imagine at your fingertips. Don’t be afraid to move beyond traditional wedding registry gifts. Perhaps consider launching a site for funding a luxurious honeymoon, charitable donations or dance lessons/activity you can enjoy long after the last toast to your union. Amazon has made all this quick and easy for couples and guests looking to celebrate the couple-to-be by allowing you to add non-amazon items to your wedding registry.
Showcase Your Style with Unique Wedding Attire

Your wedding attire is one of the most visible ways to express your personality on your big day. Choosing a colourful gown, a patterned suit, or custom accessories allows you to break away from tradition and showcase your individual style. Play with textures, fabrics, and unexpected details like embroidered messages, statement shoes, or vintage pieces that hold personal meaning. Even subtle choices, like bold jewelry, quirky cufflinks, or a signature veil, can make a big impact.
Welcome Your Guests with a Signature Cocktail
Whether you love a spritzy beverage like a martini, or your husband-to-be is a Classic Old-Fashioned connoisseur, you can set the tone (and taste!) for the evening by serving a cocktail with a fun name that showcases your personality in a delicious way.
Write Your Own Vows

Writing your own vows is one of the most intimate and meaningful ways to infuse your wedding with personality. Instead of relying on traditional scripts, you can share your unique love story, your quirks as a couple, and the promises that truly matter to you. Whether you choose humour, heartfelt sentiment, or poetic imagery, personalized vows allow your voice and character to shine in a way that resonates with both you and your guests.
Incorporate Custom Signage and Décor

Adding custom signage and décor, including thoughtfully chosen floral arrangements, is a beautiful way to make your wedding feel distinct and memorable. From hand-painted welcome signs and personalized table numbers to centerpieces that showcase favorite blooms in creative ways, every detail can reflect your style and story.
Make Your Entrance and Exit Memorable

When your guests hear certain songs, they likely think of you. Make sure that’s the case by putting in the thought and effort required to picking music that will make the perfect soundtrack to your entrance, while really reflecting your quirks (and showcasing your dance moves?). And don’t forget your exit! Choose a song that leaves everyone smiling, cheering, or even dancing along as you make your joyful departure, ensuring that your personality shines from start to finish.
Keep the Celebration Going with Late-Night Wedding Bites

Many couples are choosing to offer late-night bites that keep the party going. From gourmet sliders and loaded fries to poutine and other playful favorites, these elevated appetizers and specialty tables give guests fun, memorable options long after the main dinner is over.
Food is a great way to get creative – as long as your catering team has the breadth and depth of experience to deliver on your exceptions!
Host a Farewell Toast

Do something a little different on the morning after your wedding day. Unlike a stuffy formal after-wedding breakfast, opt for a more casual Wedding Toast Farewell. Vintage Hotels offers a unique take on a post-wedding breakfast celebration, complete with cocktail-style breakfast foods, such as a bagel bar, French toast bites and seasonal fruit martini cups.
