💖 How to Personalize Your Ceremony & Reception
Make Your Wedding Feel Uniquely You
At Little Tennessee Event Farm, we believe every wedding should be as special as the love story behind it. The best celebrations aren’t just beautiful they’re deeply personal. From small heartfelt details to big statement moments, personalizing your ceremony and reception makes your day unforgettable for you and your guests.
Not sure where to start? Here are some thoughtful ways to add your personalities, memories, and dreams into your big day.
✍️ Write Your Own Vows or Choose Meaningful Readings
One of the simplest (and most touching) ways to personalize your ceremony is by writing your own vows. Sharing promises in your own words lets your guests witness your true bond. If you’re not up for writing, select readings that capture your values whether it’s poetry, scripture, or a favorite quote from a movie you love.
💐 Showcase What Matters to You in the Decor
Your color palette and decor can say so much about you as a couple. Maybe you want to use wildflowers from local fields, include family heirloom candle holders on your tables, or add a nod to your love of books with stacked novels as centerpieces.
At our venue, we’ve seen couples use everything from rustic vintage trunks to boho pampas grass arches to create spaces that feel just like them.
🎵 Include Music That Tells Your Story
Your first dance song, ceremony entrance, or even background playlist during dinner can all be ways to celebrate your story. Play the song from your first date, your road trip anthem, or the tune that gets your whole crew dancing. A live acoustic musician or string trio can also bring a unique vibe that feels intimate and personal.
🍰 Incorporate Signature Drinks & Favorite Foods
Serve his-and-her signature cocktails or a menu inspired by where you met. We’ve had couples feature tacos from their favorite date night spot, mini pies instead of cake because it reminded them of family gatherings, or late-night sliders to keep the party going.
Food is memory-making don’t be afraid to weave your favorites into the reception.
✉️ Personalize the Guest Experience
Little touches go a long way in making your guests feel like part of your journey.
Use escort cards that double as keepsakes, like hand-lettered ornaments or pressed flowers.
Provide a guest book that’s a little different, such as a custom photo book, a record to sign, or a letter-writing station where guests leave notes for you to open on future anniversaries.
💫 Celebrate Family, Culture & Traditions
Honor family and heritage by including rituals that reflect who you are. Whether it’s a handfasting ceremony, jumping the broom, a unity candle, or a heartfelt memorial table to remember loved ones these meaningful moments are often the most memorable.
📸 Create Photo Ops That Feel Fun
Your photo memories can also reflect your personality! Set up a backdrop with props tied to your hobbies (like camping gear or travel globes), or have a Polaroid guest book so guests can snap instant pics and leave messages.
We love seeing creative photo corners pop up throughout our barn and grounds it’s part of what makes every wedding here one of a kind.
