Off-Trend Trends to Make Your Wedding Personal and Unique

Yes, you read that right! Normally, wedding season is all about the trends, so why are people interested in off-trend—even cringe!—additions to their special day? From short, rhinestone-covered white dresses and using Legos to create centerpieces to falcons as ring bearers and throwing plush toys instead of a bouquet, social media has been blowing up with all kinds of out-of-the-box but also highly personalized wedding registry ideas and custom celebration elements.

Most people want to be seen as unique, especially when it comes to their wedding, so we’re not surprised that so many people are proudly going against the grain. The traditions and norms of past generations no longer apply to weddings, or wedding registries, anymore.

In fact, some of the most popular categories of gifts that couples add to their wedding registry are personalized items and experiences! Need a little help coming up with unique ideas for your wedding registry? Here’s MyRegistry’s guide to including unique options and personalized ideas on your wedding registry.

Embrace Personalized Gifts

Personalized gifts are a wonderful way to add a unique touch to your wedding registry. These items can range from custom-made art pieces and monogrammed home goods to bespoke jewelry and engraved kitchenware.

Include Experience-Based Gifts

Experiences create lasting memories and can be more valuable than traditional material gifts. Consider adding experience-based gifts to your registry, such as cooking classes, adventure trips or concert tickets.
