Unconventional Wedding Ideas to Make Your Day Even More Unique

Your wedding day is supposed to be the most magical day of your life– full of love, friends, and family. That being said, traditional weddings aren’t the only way to go. Having personalised, different touches will give you and your guests a special experience that will leave a unique memory and inspire everyone to think a little bit outside of the box. Whether it is the wedding venue, food, or decorations, creativity will always shine through. At the end of the day, always do what makes you and your partner happy. Here are some ideas to inspire you: 

1. Unique Wedding Cake

Flavours aren’t the only thing you can customise in your wedding cake. There are so many unique options to do instead of your standard white tiered wedding cake. Going for a cake made of donuts, cupcakes, crepes, (or sushi?!) allows for your guests to actually enjoy a piece of cake without the mess and stress of cutting it evenly. Top it off with customised bobble head figurines of you and your partner for an extra touch of humour and cuteness.

2. Not-So-Typical Outfit

There is no denying that a long extravagant white gown is beautiful, timeless, and symbolic of a wedding day. That being said, there is nothing more symbolic than a statement outfit. Try a white pantsuit or 2 piece set instead of a traditional ball gown. It is both bold and memorable to step outside of the typical expectations. If you still want to wear a dress, opt for a short and breezy dress– perfect for summer and more comfortable to dance in all night! Speaking of comfort, always keep a pair of comfortable dancing shoes with you. Your feet will thank you later.

3. Book a Cool, Modern Art Gallery Instead of a Regular Event Hall

Let’s face it… we should leave the event halls for business conferences and high school proms. The wedding venue is the very basis of your special day, and choosing a venue that is beautiful and unique, enriched with art and culture can completely transform the magical feeling of celebrating love. In Toronto, there are countless galleries and event spaces to choose from– most notable Twist Gallery on Queen St W. This space offers open, high ceilings, huge beautiful windows, and is lined with incredible art from local artists to help you celebrate your day. Call (416) 588-2222 for more information.

4. Toss Out Bouquet Toss for a Fun New Game Instead

As fun as tossing the bouquet is, the game is admittedly not very exciting or inclusive to every wedding guest. If you’re opting for an outside wedding, consider setting up cornhole, bocce ball, or giant jenga to ensure all your guests can join in the fun. If your venue is indoors, have interactive games like Connect 4, Chess, and Tic Tac Toe stations. Add a DIY craft station to encourage creativity and allow your guests to leave you special little gifts to commemorate the magical day.

5. Audio Recorded Guest Book

You’re probably wondering what we mean by an audio recorded guest book. Well, it’s exactly that: a guest book full of sweet messages that you can listen to over and over! Your guests can leave you messages that will create the sweetest playlist of all time. Have both audio and written guest books if you want double the love!

6. Unique Centrepieces

Although flowers and greenery are undeniably beautiful, they are basic wedding centrepieces that do not necessarily “WOW” a crowd. We suggest doing something more personal, something that reflects you and your partners personalities and can be sent home as wedding gifts for your guests. Pile 5-10 of your favourite books on each table, books that tell your loved ones the stories that moved you and the words that left their mark on you. They will likely not be reading during the wedding, but they can take home the book that stood out to them the most, and hopefully pass it on to someone else they love after.

At the end of the day, all that matters on your wedding day is you and your partner celebrating your love with the people who mean the most to you. Everything else is just details– but within these details is where you can get creative, exciting, and fun. Create unforgettable memories in unique ways by expressing your love with these little tips!

Gestures Opening Reception: a Huge Success

We kicked off our Gestures exhibit with an Opening Reception last night. We had a great turnout, and it was a great first Opening Reception since Covid-19 happened. The event brought together people of all different art backgrounds, from artists to people who just love to look at art! They were all united for their shared love of art at the Opening Reception.

Gestures Exhibit has eight different artists showcasing their artwork. All the pieces in Gestures focus on how every brush stroke is intentional and essential. The textures on each canvas are unique in this exhibit. You will have to see the pieces in-person to see the texture detail because each canvas is unique.

Gestures Artist Andrea Higgins!

Gestures’ Artists Alice Kelso and Vian Ewart, and Eva Stryjnik!

The artists had a blast mingling with friends, family, and art lovers. We also sold three paintings during the night!

Twist Gallery’s Director had a blast getting behind the bar to serve everyone drinks!

Cheers to a good night!

We want to thank you all for coming and having a great time with us! We are looking forward to having another Opening Reception for our next exhibit. Keep an eye out on your emails, and we will send you information regarding the next exhibit and its Opening Reception details.

Wedding Trends: Tips for a Gothic Wedding

Dark colours, elegant foods, antiquated decor and furniture, and a feeling of mystery are all features you will find at a gothic wedding. While gothic weddings were previously viewed as unconventional, more and more brides want this dark yet sophisticated wedding theme. Some might mistakenly think that a gothic-themed wedding would be closely related to Halloween decorations and costumes, but this is wrong!

These are some top tips for brides who want to plan out their ideal gothic wedding. 

COLOURS

When you plan out your gothic-themed wedding, you will want to choose specific colours that are dark but still very tasteful, and not just black. Some great examples are deep purples, starry blues, blood reds and black, of course. Once you have finalized your dark colour palette, you can then start picking out the perfect matches for your bridesmaids' dresses, your flower bouquets, groomsmen attire, and your venue decorations. Using deeper colours means you are already on the way to creating the perfect extravagant goth wedding of your dreams. 

VENUE

Whatever theme you decide to go with, picking the venue for your wedding can be a hard decision to make. To choose the right venue for a gothic wedding, you should choose venues with more antique architecture and an elegant feeling. They should also have high-hung chandeliers and probably an elaborate staircase. Choose a gothic-style stone structure or 1920s mansion for the outer structure, which helps set the mood for your guests' arrival. After you pick the venue, you can decorate it to set the mood even further.

DECOR

The vibe you want to create with the venue decor should be classy yet edgy. To create the look of a sophisticated gothic wedding, some of the best picks for decorations include antique candelabras and velvet or lace. Use some candlesticks and flowers as centrepieces, and you can choose to have your venue lit by mostly candlelight. You can go the extra mile with your table settings and add an elegant touch for your guests. 

FLOWERS

The bride and groom's bouquets, centrepieces, and venue decorations will play an essential role in every wedding. To stay on theme for your gothic wedding, you should opt for flowers that come in deep shades like red roses, purple calla lilies and some greenery. You can add touches of greenery throughout the venue to create some easy and charming decorations.

BRIDE

And here are our tips for the lucky bride. Some brides will want to go with a black lace dress, and others will still want to go with a white dress with black detailing. One bold yet still elegant choice that we have seen is a dark red with hints of black. Whatever you decide to wear, you will look stunning. Have a little fun with your manicure, shoes and makeup. You can do vintage gothic makeup to stick with the theme when picking out makeup. A smokey eye and winged liner are the perfect combos.

Expert Tips to Style Your Wedding Aisle

Guests begin to gather, the music starts to play, your ceremony becomes the main focus as the attention of your loved ones are waiting excitedly for the procession and the bride to arrive. Picking the best aisle decorations can help you craft the feel of the entire ceremony to celebrate you, which helps make your wedding much more memorable. You can choose between the girly aesthetic of bows, flower petals, tiebacks, ribbons, or going with a sensible runner. Your wedding aisle is another place where you can show off your own personalization for your wedding, awe your guests and set the tone for your big day as a bride. Wedding planners at Twist Gallery are able to help to-be-wed couples select and coordinate their aisle decor with the overall wedding theme.

Spread Your Creativity With Flower Petals

One easy addition to your aisle would be lining the aisle with beautiful coloured flower petals, which can add a pop of gorgeous colour to any indoor or outdoor ceremony. Flower petals don’t only have to be reserved for flower girls. They can give you dimension as well as add to a soft and romantic feeling for the entire ceremony. Couples can choose to use multi-coloured petals for pops of colour to the ceremony, or use petals that are found from seasonal wedding floral arrangements. Try to create a unique pattern like a monogram using petals to have a more modern twist. Using ombre flower petals can help give you a more subtle range of colour while also adding more creativity and drama. For more elegant vibes, try creating a pattern using the petals, or scatter petals in specific widths along the sides of your aisle.

Many brides also include lanterns or soft candles lining the aisle, which help light the aisle as well as give off a magical ambiance. Think about including fall leaves, flower heads, fabrics or feathers into the composition to help enhance the scene.

Decorate The Wedding Easel Chairs

Depending on your ceremony, you could have chairs which are typical in outdoor weddings or pews found in a church ceremony. To help further enhance your ceremony, you should decorate the chairs found along the aisle. For example, you could add on flowers to create subtle aisle decorations. Or, get more creative for beach weddings by tying on starfish and coral using blue ribbons to represent the ocean. For more rustic themes, hang some dried grass, wheat or fall berries using some natural coloured string or twine to the end of every pew or chair. The opportunities are truly endless when it comes to creating your dream wedding aisle that is pleasing to the eye.

Multi-Use Mason Jars As Decoration For Your Wedding Aisle

Mason jars add a rustic and vintage aesthetic when used as part of your aisle decor. These are cost effective and versatile design elements and they can even serve as a core element for your wedding theme. You can fill them with colourful bouquets to line the aisle, or they work well as hanging decorations as well.
