Rediscovering Wedding Traditions
When planning your special day, it won't be long before you encounter various advice on traditional wedding "must-dos". This could range from matching wedding rings to wearing your mother's bridal gown, or the bridesmaids wearing the same dress colour.
These are all part of wedding traditions that you may be encouraged to uphold. Yet, remember this day is about you and that you're not obligated to follow everything to the letter. As long as you have your special wedding ring to embody your love and commitment, the rest can be flexible.

Can you create your own wedding traditions?
While each wedding tradition holds its significance, it doesn't mean you're obligated to follow each one religiously. Alternatively, you could breathe new life into these customs for an innovative, personalized wedding experience.
For instance, if tradition demands an end-of-evening onion soup, why not seek a more palatable and exciting alternative? Or instead of offering customary treats to guests, explore other creative gift ideas that speak to your personal style and values.
