Bridal Buzz

I have no sense of direction. None. Zip. Zilch. If I say to turn left you can bet your life that you should turn right. So you can only imagine how hard it is for me to navigate from a wedding to a reception, especially in a city I am unfamiliar with. I always appreciate when a map is enclosed with the invitation and if it is personalized, even better. I need all the help I can get. Enter Daley Harris, a clever local who has created a cartography business called Merry Maps. She’ll draw adorable detailed maps guiding guests wherever they need to go. With landmarks, streets and buildings clearly defined, friends and family will love you even more for getting them to the reception (and to the cocktails) quickly and easily. (You know it’s true.)

From under water to above the clouds, Dallas couples know how to do it their way. See how a ceremony artist, an Indian Jones action figure and a stack of bibles helped make these local weddings unique and memorable.

See how several Dallas couples made their big day extra special with these unique touches. Remember, you’re not really stealing their ideas, you’re just paying homage to them.

There are many ways to incorporate special memories and sentimental items into your wedding. See here how several Dallas brides personalized their big day with heartwarming, creative and humorous touches.

Do something different to make your big day memorable.

Dallas brides are full of creativity. See here how one couple created a Tiffany-themed reception, another honored their Mexican heritage, and yet another utilized the Uptown trolley.

Family mementos attached to your bouquet will make it even more special.

While perusing some past issues of D Weddings recently something hit me. Why don’t I post the fantastic ideas from “Steal This Idea” on BridalBuzz? And the answer was, “I don’t know.” I guess I just hadn’t thought of it. But now that I have, I am excited to share them with you. Unique touches are what make a wedding memorable, special and personal. So don’t hesitate to steal some of these ideas from other brides and grooms. We won’t tell. I promise.
