Unconventional Wedding Venue - I love seeing couples choose amazing places to tie the knot such as museums, ranches, national parks, and even caves. Yes, you heard that right! This wedding pictured above was at a New Braunfels hidden gem called Sophie's Gasthaus.

Unity Shot - There’s nothing better than getting rid of wedding day jitters by taking a shot with your new husband/wife. Prost!

Leaving your first row open for your bridal party - Traditionally your wedding party stands beside you during the ceremony, but think about leaving the first row open so your favorite people can sit and enjoy the moment with a better view.

Colored Dress - When I tell you that a colored dress is literally a showstopper, I am not exaggerating! Most of the time, your guests are not expecting it so it's fun seeing and hearing people's reactions.

Wedding Entertainment - A great way for your guests to stay engaged and excited is by providing live entertainment or activities such as a hat branding station, live music, cigar rolling station, or a dance performance like the one pictured above.

Incorporating Cultural Customs - Every culture has specific traditions that can bring luck, prosperity, and fun. This couple decided to honor their New Orleans heritage and lead a second line into their reception!

Walk down the aisle alone - There is no wrong or right way to walk down the aisle and we've seen so many different ways - with mom, dad and stepdad, both parents, maybe your child, etc. But I cannot think of a more bold and memorable moment than escort yourself! If Meghan Markle can do it, so can you!

Include Fido - This is probably the crowd favorite, I know it's mine! Just make sure to clear it with your venue first. Click here for other ways to incorporate your pup.

Keep the party going - If you're feeling up for it, keep the party going after the wedding ends. Make arrangements at a friend or family member's house and have an after party! The picture above is a casino themed after party hosted at The Redberry Estate.
