Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
Everybody has seen their fair share of weddings. So, it isn’t uncommon to go to a matrimonial event and see and hear some of the same things. After all, the traditions all take inspiration from each other, so there’s bound to be a crossover point.
Your wedding ceremony is your big day, and you want it to be as original as possible. That way, the event will last with you forever without the need for photos or videos. Plus, nobody wants to spend thousands of pounds on a wedding for it to resemble every other ceremony in a five-mile radius.
Being unique is tough because wedding traditions are similar. However, getting too creative may result in your big day lacking the classic touch that you’re trying to replicate. Once this happens, you lose the vibrant atmosphere and run the risk of being tacky. So, how do you strike a perfect balance between traditional and original?
The key is to search for wedding features that most people don’t know about or have never seen in person before. A handfasting ceremony, for instance, is a public show of love that declares a couple’s intention to marry. Sweet and full of sentiment, this gesture will wow your guests.
Another way to wow your guests is to change up some traditional aspects of the wedding ceremony. Most people expect brides to wear modern wedding dresses, but you will leave an impression if you choose an unusual design, inspired by designs like those in the medieval era or even the Gothic period. You don’t even have to choose white or the usual wedding dress silhouette if you want to. This idea is recommended for couples who are into LARP or other similar hobbies.
