A Magical Celebration of Love
8 ways for you to honour your bisexual pride within your straight-presenting wedding.
Greetings, lovebirds! 🕊️
Rachel here, your wedding planning wizard, ready to sprinkle a dash of magic and a whole lot of love on your special day. Today, I'm diving into a topic that's close to my heart: honouring bisexual pride within a straight-presenting wedding. 🌟
In a world that often thrives on binaries, celebrating the full spectrum of your identity can feel a bit like trying to explain the multiverse to a Muggle. 🧙♂️ But fear not, dear ones! I'm here to help you navigate this journey with style, grace, and a hearty dose of nerdy flair.
1. Wear Your Pride, Literally
Let's start with the basics - your attire. Why not incorporate the bi pride colours into your wedding outfit?
I'm thinking:
- Bi pride flag pin on your wedding outfit
- Subtle sash with the pink, purple, and blue hues
- Pink, purple & blue florals (bouquet, corsage, buttonhole or hairpiece)
- A 'still bisexual' flag / banner
- Bespoke bi pride cufflinks
- Bi flag laces in your Doc Martens
- Bouquet ribbon in the bi flag colours
- Bi flag coloured jewellery
- Bi pride garter - a small but powerful way to wear your heart on your sleeve... … or leg!
2. Ceremony Sweetness
Your wedding ceremony is the perfect opportunity to weave in elements that honour your bisexuality. From your vows to your readings, you can include language that celebrates the fullness of your love and identity.
How about a reading from Virginia Woolf or a quote from Freddie Mercury? Or perhaps, a custom vow that acknowledges the journey of being bi and finding your true love. After all, love knows no bounds and your story is a testament to that!
3. Bi Pride Décor Delights
Decorating your venue with a sprinkle of bi pride can be both elegant and enchanting. Picture a bi pride-coloured floral arrangement gracing your tables, or a centrepiece adorned with subtle bi flag accents. You could even go all out with a bi pride balloon arch or a bespoke neon sign.
For a more understated approach, think about using bi pride colours in your table settings, napkins, or even your cake! Speaking of which…
4. The Cake is Queer
Your wedding cake is a canvas just waiting for a splash of bisexual brilliance. A cake adorned with bi pride colours, either through delicate icing or vibrant layers inside, is a fabulous way to show off your pride.
If you're a fan of surprises, imagine the delight when guests cut into a seemingly traditional cake only to reveal a bi pride rainbow inside!
For a whimsical touch, why not add a bi pride cake topper or edible decorations in the flag's colours? Your cake will be a delicious symbol of your unique journey.
5. Toasts & Speeches with a Twist
Encourage your loved ones to acknowledge your bisexuality in their toasts and speeches. It can be deeply moving to hear friends and family celebrate not just your relationship but the entirety of who you are.
Whether it's a heartfelt toast or a quirky anecdote, it's your day to shine in all your bi glory.
6. The First Dance: A Bi Bop
Choosing a song for your first dance that resonates with your journey can be incredibly meaningful. Consider a tune by a bi artist or a song that captures the essence of your love story. This moment is all about you and your new spouse, so let your musical choice reflect the pride and joy of your identities.
7. Embrace the Nerdy and the Queer
Your wedding is the ultimate crossover episode - the perfect opportunity to blend your love of all things nerdy and queer! Infuse your favourite fandoms with bi pride.
A bi pride themed D&D dice set as wedding favours? Yes, please!
How about a lightsaber duel with bi pride coloured blades? May the force of fabulousness be with you!
8. A Heartfelt Thank You
Lastly, don't forget to thank your guests for being part of your celebration. A heartfelt note that acknowledges their support for your journey and your pride can be a wonderful keepsake.
Include a mention of how much it means to you that they're celebrating not just your love, but the entirety of who you are.
Love in Every Colour
Remember, your wedding day is a celebration of your unique love story - every twist, turn, and fabulous colour of it. Embracing your bisexuality within your straight-presenting wedding isn't about fitting into a box; it's about tearing that box apart and making a fabulous fort with it! 🏰
So, let your love shine as brightly as a Patronus charm, and know that your pride, like your love, is infinite. Here's to a wedding that's as magical and multifaceted as you are!
With all my love and magical wedding wishes,
Rachel Your Wedding Planning Wizard ✨💫
