How to Personalize your Wedding

If you’re looking for inspiration to personalise your wedding, you’ll want to read this! Susanna and Graham are a couple with an incredible sense of style and creativity. They truly made their celebration their own by incorporating meaningful personal details throughout the day — and I was beyond thrilled to be part of it!

Venue

If you want to personalise your wedding, start by choosing a setting that reflects your vision and style. Susanna and Graham knew they didn’t want a traditional chapel or garden ceremony. Instead, they chose the Neon Museum—an iconic Las Vegas landmark filled with vintage signs and artistic flair—which perfectly captured their love for arts and culture. For the reception, they envisioned something elegant and nostalgic with a mid-century modern vibe. After exploring a few options, we knew The Las Vegas Room (formerly the Mob Bar) at Downtown Grand was the perfect match for their unique aesthetic.

Photography

Photography was a top priority for Susanna and Graham. To truly personalise their wedding, they wanted a photographer who knew them well—someone who could capture their real connection and who they are when no one’s watching. Erin Evangeline, a close friend of the bride, was the perfect choice. She brought a personal touch to every shot, and the results were stunning. You can see all the beautiful moments captured below.

Cake

Graham is a talented chef at Momofuku in New York, which also has a location at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas — where their wedding cakes came from. Their cake table was full of charm and personal touches that truly helped personalise their wedding. Susanna chose a cake stand that read, “I love you like a fat kid loves cake,” adding a playful touch to the setup. Their cake topper? A pair of salt and pepper shakers shaped like kissing chihuahuas. It was adorable — and now it lives in their home as a daily reminder of their unforgettable day.

Floral & Decor

Floral and décor are some of the most impactful ways to personalise your wedding. Susanna had a bold artistic vision, and she was thrilled that LuzsBlooms Flowers not only understood it—but brought it to life perfectly. From the funky, vibrant ceremony setup to the lush reception florals, everything reflected her unique style. The bouquets and centerpieces featured anthuriums, proteas, palm leaves, and rich greenery. Susanna was so moved by how beautifully it all came together, she cried tears of joy—it was exactly what she had imagined.

If you want to personalise your wedding, a little creativity goes a long way. Susanna added her own crafty touch by making geometric shapes with air plants tucked inside—each one a small work of art. She and Graham also DIY’ed their table numbers, adding even more personality to the day. I still remember when a snowstorm hit New York and Susanna used the time indoors to work on her decorations. She texted me a photo mid-process, and I thought the table numbers were absolutely adorable!

Details

Last but definitely not least — it’s the small details that truly personalise your wedding. Susanna and Graham ordered vintage-style “Telegram” cards for guests to fill out with sweet notes and advice, adding a charming old-school touch to their guest experience. They also set out a Polaroid camera so guests could snap photos and add them to the guest book alongside their telegram messages. It was the perfect blend of sentiment and creativity, making their keepsake even more personal.

Want to know how to truly personalise your wedding? Take a cue from this creative couple. Instead of the usual party favors, Susanna and Graham handed out mini hot sauce bottles with custom labels that read “Hot Moments”—a playful nod to their spicy love story. How fun is that?

And honestly, there was so much more. Too much to fit into one post. I was truly honored to help them bring their vision to life. Even now, I look back and feel inspired by their unique style, bold choices, and the genuine joy they share.
