Back by popular demand! As follow up to our 50 Original Wedding Ideas Your Friends Haven’t Thought of Yet, Weddingbells has tracked down even more details to get your creative juices flowing. From wedding trivia napkins to chalkboard drink tags, silhouette signs to a sweet makeshift pharmacy (what?!), we’ve reached back into the Weddingbells vault for 30 outrageously original wedding ideas to turn your nuptials into a standout celebration. Some are simple, some are extravagant, all are guaranteed to make an impression. We’ve turned to everyone from Kate Middleton and Prince William to Trista and Ryan, superstar wedding bloggers to everyday brides, the continent’s most prodigious wedding planners to independent Etsy artisans, and are more convinced than ever of the infinite creative potential weddings possess. At Weddingbells, we are continually inspired, but our constant pursuit of fresh ideas to share with you is not without challenge. Good ideas are repeated…a lot. With over 115,000 weddings taking place somewhere in the world each day, originality can be a difficult task. Difficult, but not impossible. While we agree that originality shouldn’t be the sole focus of your celebration (your guests are there to celebrate the love between you and your partner, not see something they haven’t before), a couple of clever details can cement a wedding on everyone’s lips for months, even years, after the cake has been cut and the dance floor swept of confetti. Here are just a few more of our favourite original wedding ideas…

80751 Your friends have: Pre-ceremony refreshments denoted with printed signs. We prefer: Oversized chalkboard tags distinguishing the fruit-infused water from the spiked lemonade. You can buy 'em on Etsy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/86804708/8-chalkboard-tags-with-jute-twine-and" target="_blank">here</a>.

80747 Your friends have: Read our last article, <a href="http://www.weddingbells.ca/blogs/planning/2012/10/05/50-origina-wedding-ideas-your-friends-havent-thought-of-yet/" target="_blank">50 Original Wedding Ideas Your Friends Haven't Thought of Yet</a> and are now considering ombre bridesmaids dresses (which we still think are fantastic). We also love: Ombre chair covers (rent them in various shades of the same colour palette) for an insanely stylish ceremony space. Bachelorette couple Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter did the <a href="http://eventsbyheatherham.blogspot.ca/2009/09/celebrity-wedding-trista-ryan.html" target="_blank">same thing</a> at their $4 million wedding in 2003, years ahead of the ombre trend (though that tends to happen when you have <a href="http://www.mindyweiss.com" target="_blank">Mindy Weiss</a> as your wedding planner!)

81218 Your friends have: Gifted their hubby a pair of monogrammed cufflinks to wear on the Big Day, a single item to call his own in the otherwise frilly festivities. We prefer: Taking personalization a step further with non-floral boutonnieres to reflect your man’s hobbies and interests. You can buy them online <a href="http://shop.frittsrosenow.com" target="_blank">here</a> and even commission entirely custom designs. They won’t wilt like standard flower bouts AND your hubby will score some major man cred, which admittedly is not super easy to do at wedding celebrations.

80754 Your friends have: Designated new roles for their ring bearers by having them tote "Here Comes the Bride" signs down the aisle. We prefer: A joyful gaggle of "flag bearers" -- perfect for couples with lots of little nieces and nephews vying for a role in the bridal party. BONUS: We've tracked down the actual ring bearer flag from the photo! You can stock up on an assortment of adorable flag designs at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/joyfuljoyful" target="_blank">Joyful Joyful</a> on Etsy.

80753 Your friends have: Lined the aisle with petals. And it looks beautiful, it really does. But... We prefer: Dramatic petal and crystal garlands suspended above the ceremony space. Cue instant jaw drop.

80749 Your friends have: Cones filled with confetti, petals or dried flowers. We prefer: Pom-poms as a bright, punchy alternative. For an extra dollop of adorable, consider including instructions: "When the newlyweds walk your way, toss the pom-poms and shout 'Hooray'!"

80757 Your friends have: Installed a photo booth "guest book" where guests can sign Polaroid pictures snapped on the spot before pasting them into a keepsake album. We prefer: Providing guests with magnetic strips and sharpies to scrawl well wishes, which can be displayed on your fridge after the festivities.

80743 Your friends have:Instructed guests to sign their custom guest book poster. We prefer: Taking note from trattorias who prompt their celebrity guests to sign plates (later to be displayed on the walls). Why not create your own with a guest book plate to hang in your kitchen as a constant reminder of your wedding feast? Image by <a href="http://www.amyhill.net/" target="_blank">Amy Hill</a>. wedding-guestbook-plate https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Amy-Hill-105x105.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Amy-Hill.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Amy-Hill.jpg 700 466 {"aperture":"9","camera":"NIKON D3","created_timestamp":"1327783710","focal_length":"35","iso":"800","shutter_speed":"0.02"} https://weddingbells.ca/planning/3-more-outrageously-original-wedding-ideas-your-friends-still-havent-thought-of/slide/amy-hill/ amy-hill 0 0

80763 Your friends have: Exhaled a sigh of relief that the catering company is providing their own silverware, plates and serving pieces. We prefer: Injecting some DIY charm into cocktail hour with hor d'oeuvre and cocktail trays lined with patterned wall or wrapping paper. Image via <a href="http://www.taraguerardsoiree.com/" target="_blank">Tara Guerard</a>. weddings-patterned-tray https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Tara-Guerard-105x105.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Tara-Guerard.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Tara-Guerard.jpg 1024 1544 [] https://weddingbells.ca/planning/3-more-outrageously-original-wedding-ideas-your-friends-still-havent-thought-of/slide/tara-guerard/ tara-guerard 0 0

80742 Your friends have: Customized napkins with their wedding date, monogram or logo. They may have alternatively opted for the once adorable, now overused slogan "Eat, drink, be married!" We prefer: Napkins printed with fun pieces of trivia about you and your beloved to entertain guests during cocktail hour. Image by <a href="http://aaronshintaku.com/" target="_blank">Aaron Shintaku</a>. wedding-trivia-napkins https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Aaron-Shintaku-105x105.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Aaron-Shintaku.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Aaron-Shintaku.jpg 650 758 [] https://weddingbells.ca/planning/3-more-outrageously-original-wedding-ideas-your-friends-still-havent-thought-of/slide/aaron-shintaku/ aaron-shintaku 0 0

80767 Your friends have: Put a lot of thought into their bar space with custom napkins, cocktails, maybe even a decal.

80741 Your friends have: Spent hours at the florist's looking at different centrepiece mock ups and still can't decide which arrangement to go for. We prefer: Wowing your guests with table displays they'll go crazy for: blocks of wood boasting your sumptuous meal selections. Plus you won't need to worry about guests making off with your rented crystal vases at the end of the evening. Oops.

80756 Your friends have: Rented the most lavish chair covers they can get their hands on. We prefer: Delighting guests with a single bloom on the back of each chair. Flowers that won't require sacrificing your first born to afford include roses, mums, carnations, delphiniums and more common varieties of tulip. Poppies (pictured above) are generally more expensive, especially if you're hosting 300 people. Tip: To cut costs, consider limiting flowers to the chairs of your female guests.

To add an element of fun, also consider including an I-Spy challenge: "Use the camera and look around hunt for those pictures that need to be found!

80758 Your friends have: An impressive multi-tiered wedding cake. We prefer: Divvying up the tiers with only two or three per pedestal. Display the cakes on an elongated table to create a dramatic wedding cake bar.
