These distinctive touches are short on fuss and expense and long on understated elegance. Be inspired:

• Wear a gardenia in your hair.
• Attach a religious metal to your bouquet.
• Convey your thanks with a keepsake wreath.
• Toast your marriage with a pair of Grecian goblets.
• Decorate the reception hall with votives suspended from the ceiling.
• Let your guests have their sweets and eat them, too — from paper cones sprayed with silver and fastened to chairs with satin ribbon.
• And after the festivities, send everyone home with a box of specially blended cocoa ­— as a reminder of you, “The Perfect Mix.”
