So many weddings go down all day, every day - so how do you make yours stand out? A Redditor started a thread and asked the women of Reddit about their dream weddings, and the weddings they've already planned. They pooled together a bunch of unique ideas for those who are still in the midst of planning future weddings. The ideas are special, wacky, and adorable, all at the same time. Check 'em out below.

    Women want their weddings to be special, so how do the women of Reddit want their own to stand out?

    Human body - Red_Delish_ · 12h Instead of a catering company, I would love to do food trucks for the reception. Myself and my partner could each pick one, and then our guests have more variety.

    When is this couple making this wedding happen? I desperately want to be on the invite list.

    Font - Arqueete · 10h I want to wear a cape veil instead of a traditional veil! The idea of swishing around in a cape is 100% more exciting to me. Probably a floor-length cape paired with a floor-length dress without a train, that sounds like the best recipe for dramatic swishability.

    Human body - glasssofwhine · 9h I want NO PHONES at the ceremony, no one takes pics except for the hired photographer. I want people actually looking at us and not through a screen

    Human body - tellthemimsleeping · 11h I want a colourful dress. I don't mind if it's blush pink or vivid red, I just want colour.

    Font - SparklingReject · 9h A bloody, horror themed cake. I am serious, me and my fiancé are talking about getting a Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees themed cake, or even mix such ideas. With strawberry flavored gel as the 'Bloody' part. (He loves strawberry.)

    Font - freshorangetictac · 11h I want a fairly traditional wedding in general, but I think at like 4am we should all go to this incredibly gross rock club I love for an afterparty. By then it'll be only the friends and young family left so I think that should work very well.

    Font - MissingBrie · 8h Instead of throwing the bouquet we did a bouquet dance. It was so much nicer than ritual humiliation of my single girlfriends.

    Font - annebvd · 9h Instead of a big (and expensive) wedding cake we asked our guests to bake something and bring it to the wedding. So we had a cake buffet with a variety of cakes and pies (around 15 in total I think) and it was really nice!

    Font - OverallDisaster · 5h I wanted a brunch wedding and that's what we did. We had Cajun/southern style food including a chicken and waffle bar. No regrets!

    Human body - vitamin-seaa · 5h I only want classical/soft music played during it and for everyone to wear neutral colours. This will probably be impossible, but a girl can dream..

    Human body - Sting-Ray_128 · 8h I had unicorn cupcakes instead of a wedding cake. Years later people are still raving about them
