Breaking the Mold of a Traditional Wedding
While traditional weddings are common and standard rituals, more and more people and couples nowadays choose a more unorthodox approach to their wedding theme. These weddings can be as unusual or outlandish as the wedded couple chooses - from a simple beach-themed wedding to an underwater wedding. If you want to break away from a traditional wedding celebration, the options for themes and how you can customize the theme to fit your style and personality are almost as endless as the love you and your betrothed feel for each other!
The Traditional Wedding Plan
A traditional wedding - in the United States - consists of the couple at the wedding, with the bride wearing white and the groom wearing a tuxedo or another formal outfit, bridesmaids, a ring bearer or two, and the groomsmen. Then, the wedding party also usually has a maid of honor and a best man.
While a traditional wedding is beautiful, if you want to kick it up a notch or make your wedding day stand out, having a fun-filled themed wedding that is a breakaway from a traditional wedding is an excellent idea for you you're betrothed.
Benefits of Holding a Themed Wedding
There are, of course, positives and negatives to every decision or choice you make in life - especially on your wedding day! However, choose what fits you and your style. This is your big day, so while taking advice from others is fine, you don’t have to take any advice or tips that don’t sound fun or exciting. Whether you go with a traditional or a themed wedding, make sure to have some tissues on your big day!
Your themed wedding will be a different event for your guests to attend. Many people have not been to a themed wedding. Your theme could be fascinating and fun, and you’ll have many guests who love your ideas and are into dressing up in your theme.
When you have a theme, your wedding reflects your personality and taste. Guests can easily pick out your style from your themed wedding. You’ll most likely get lots of comments about your theme, and guests will have more fun at your themed wedding, especially if they have not experienced one.
The Other Side of a Themed Wedding
Your first look on your big day and walking down the aisle can be stressful. While you can take that initial stress off by getting photos before the ceremony, your guests may be a bit surprised at the look of your wedding attire. However, if you own your theme and look, keep carrying yourself down the aisle and remember, this is your day - not your guests’ day. So have fun with the theme that you’ve chosen!
No matter what, a good photographer will be there to create a positive experience so that you will remember the photos with fondness. I’m here to make your themed wedding day experience a blast!
