What Modern Creative Couples Want From Their Wedding: How to Plan a Unique, Personal and Stylish Day

When you’re planning your wedding, you don’t want just another wedding. You want a wedding that reflects your personality, your style, your story — and most of all, you want it to feel fun, modern, and totally you.

At Emma Jordan Weddings, we work with creative couples who want to break the mould, skip the traditions that don’t fit, and create a wedding that feels personal, stylish and full of energy. If you’re in the middle of planning and wondering how to make your wedding feel different (without losing your mind), keep reading. This is exactly what modern couples are looking for:

1. A Wedding That Feels Authentic

More and more couples are rejecting the idea of a ‘perfect’ wedding in favour of one that feels personal and relaxed. Your wedding should feel like an extension of who you are — whether that’s swapping formal dining for a sharing feast, wearing a statement dress, or writing personal vows that make your guests cry (and laugh).

Your guests should walk into your wedding and instantly know: this is so them. And that’s exactly what we help you create.

2. Creative Wedding Styling That Tells Your Story

Let’s be honest — wedding aesthetics matter. But it’s not about copying someone else’s Pinterest board. It’s about curating a wedding design that reflects your style as a couple. Think:

    •    Bold colour palettes

    •    Unique textures and layering

    •    Statement florals

    •    Neon signs and creative backdrops

    •    Personalised signage

    •    Thoughtful tablescapes your guests won’t stop photographing

Every single styling element should feel intentional and unique to your vibe.

3. Unique Wedding Venues That Set the Tone

The venue is often the starting point for your whole vision. More creative couples are searching for blank canvas venues and alternative spaces where they can fully customise their day. Popular choices include:

    •    Industrial warehouses

    •    Botanical glasshouses

    •    Breweries and distilleries

    •    Outdoor marquee or tipi weddings

    •    City rooftops

    •    Converted barns with a modern twist

We work with some of the most creative wedding venues in Newcastle and across the North East — helping you find the perfect backdrop for your day.

4. A Wedding Planner That Allows You to Stay Creative (Without the Stress)

Let’s be real — planning a creative, design-led wedding takes time. Between work, life, and endless supplier searches, it can start to feel overwhelming. That’s where having a wedding planner who understands your vision is a game-changer.

At Emma Jordan Weddings, we help you:

    •    Source trusted creative suppliers

    •    Build a clear planning timeline

    •    Manage logistics behind the scenes

    •    Handle on-the-day coordination

    •    Make your vision a reality while keeping the whole process enjoyable

Our job is to handle the details so you stay excited (and not burnt out) in the run-up to your wedding.

5. Food, Drink & Music That Actually Feels Like You

Forget the dry chicken dinners and awkward buffets. Today’s couples want wedding food that feels more like their favourite night out:

    •    Food trucks & grazing tables

    •    Sharing boards & relaxed dining

    •    Signature cocktails & espresso martini bars

    •    Live bands, DJs, or vinyl-only sets

    •    Late night pizza vans or dessert stations

Your wedding should feel like the best party you’ve ever hosted.

6. A Seamless Experience for You & Your Guests

Creative doesn’t mean chaotic. The best weddings feel effortless — with a smooth flow from start to finish. Thoughtful timelines, relaxed ceremonies, interactive guest experiences and plenty of time to actually enjoy the day.

That’s why having an experienced planner ensures your guests feel looked after while you stay fully present and soak up every moment.
