Personalization at Play: Designing Weddings That Tell a Love Story

Gone are the days when weddings were copy-paste spectacles — grand, yes, but often indistinguishable from one another.

This is the era of personalization at play — where design becomes storytelling, and every corner whispers a piece of your love story.

Table settings that carry poems exchanged during your first year together. A cocktail named after the city where you said “I love you.” This new wave of personalization isn’t just aesthetic — it’s emotional architecture....
