Weddings are all about love, authenticity, and celebrating your story—and that’s especially true for LGBTQ+ couples. Your wedding day should reflect you, not tradition for tradition’s sake. Whether you’re planning something bold and modern or soft and sentimental, LGBTQ+ weddings are full of opportunities to toss the rulebook and make every detail your own. Looking for creative ways to celebrate your love in a way that’s meaningful and true to who you are? Keep reading for some unique and inclusive touches that make your wedding one-of-a-kind.
Make The Ceremony Uniquely Yours
One of the most exciting parts of planning an LGBTQ+ wedding is the freedom to shape your ceremony without feeling bound to traditions. Want to walk down the aisle together? Do it. Prefer to skip the aisle walk altogether and just start with a welcoming speech? That’s also totally valid! Your vows, readings, and unity rituals can reflect your shared values, your humor, or even your favorite hobbies. Write your own vows or include a close friend or chosen family member as your officiant. It’s all about honoring the people and words that matter most to you.
Ditch The Labels And Curate Your Wedding Party
Gone are the days of rigid “bride’s side” and “groom’s side” lineups. LGBTQ+ weddings especially open the door for creativity when it comes to your wedding party. Mix and match genders, skip traditional titles like “bridesmaid” or “groomsman,” or come up with your own fun names like “I Do Crew” or “Honor Squad.” Choose outfits that suit your wedding party members’ individual styles or coordinate looks that complement your wedding palette while allowing each person to shine.
Infuse Your Style Into The Details
Your wedding should be as bold, subtle, glamorous, or minimalist as you want it to be. Think about what feels most you—whether that means rainbow accents, bold florals, customized signage, or a color palette that speaks to your style. Some couples choose to include LGBTQ+ symbols like rainbow pins, Pride flag motifs in their stationery, or cake toppers that reflect their relationship. Others might opt for a more classic aesthetic with subtle nods to their journey as a couple woven throughout the decor. The Park Savoy Estate’s beautifully manicured grounds and timeless ballroom provide the perfect backdrop to bring any vision to life.
Honor Your Journey and Chosen Family
Every love story is different, and many LGBTQ+ couples have special people in their lives who’ve been especially supportive. Your wedding day is a chance to honor those relationships, whether that’s with a toast, a special reading, or even a seat saved in memory or tribute. You can also include nods to your journey as a couple. These personal touches make your wedding feel deeply meaningful and memorable.
