23 Unconventional But Awesome Wedding Ideas

You gotta keep those unsuspecting guests on their toes. Steal these ideas before they become standard wedding fare.

1. A guest box instead of a guest book, where guests can record a message on video.

2. A ring bearer who’s also a high-security agent.

 

 

 

3. An adorned reception bathroom.

The bathroom: underrated and overlooked. Meanwhile, your attention to detail will NOT go underrated and overlooked.
