Doing Your Wedding Your Way

When you were a little girl playing wedding dress up with friends, you probably had ideas of spun-sugar cakes, lacy veils, and, of course, white dresses, but does this vision still fit you? Will a traditional wedding really represent who you and your partner are and what your relationship is like? More and more often, brides are deciding that a white wedding is not for them, and the current trend is actually to buck the trend. Now the thing that’s most in style for weddings is to create your own style.

The first thing to think about is what wedding format suits you and your groom. If you both love to hike and garden, consider getting married outside, or if you prefer a quiet, reclusive ceremony, why not just elope? Or if this is a little too atypical for you, you can still put together a small ceremony where you and your groom are married in front of a handful of close friends and family members. If, on the other hand, you love to plan huge parties and put on a show, you can really give a personal touch to your big day by doing much of the preparation yourself.

While getting ready for any large wedding can be a stressful process, doing your wedding the way you want means that you have more control over both the individual touches of the ceremony and reception and the cost of the entire shebang. This essentially means that a unique, do-it-yourself wedding is cheaper and more cost-effective. Instead of paying for a lot of extra tradition-dictated items and plans, you and your husband-to-be can create a day that is really about you, which becomes a day you can really enjoy.

Also, if you don’t let yourself be controlled by traditions and the expectations of others, you’ll not only have a more cost-effective wedding, but you’ll also be able to really let loose and have fun on your wedding day. If you’re not comfortable with the long veil, high heels, and poofy dress, you can dispense with them and just enjoy being beautiful in your own way.

Sometimes a traditional wedding with all the trappings – white roses, lace veils, and hundred-year-old vows – can be gorgeous, but does this style really express you and your love? If not, then don’t worry about it. Feel free to explore other options for dress, decorations, music, and even vows. With this individuality, even your guests will remember your wedding day for years to come.
