Many things get cut in the name of time, or being a modern couple, but we think there’s a few traditions that you just shouldn’t skip or leave out.
Bridesmaids
Friends and family will be at your wedding, but it is those closest to you that will be in your bridal party. These fine woman will help you along the way with every aspect of your wedding. Holding your hand through hours of dress shopping, and countless cake tastings.
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
These good luck tokens should be apart of your wedding to ensure that everything goes smoothly, and it is a great chance for your closest friends and family to wish you luck on your big day.
First Dance
Sure you have danced with your significant other before, but never have you danced before married. Take dance lessons before your wedding day and wow your guests with your slick dance moves.
First Look
Taking a first look at your fiance allows for you to get all of your emotions out before walking down the aisle, and allows you to have this intimate moment for yourselves. Not to mention and tears of happiness can be dried and mascara can be reapplied before the big event.
Speeches
Speeches allow everyone at your wedding to know your deepest darkest secrets, or at least the ones your bridal party and family see as being appropriate.
Wear a Veil
Your veil symbolizes the purity of the heart in marrying your fiance. Show the love of your life that you are giving them your whole heart and wear a veil.
First Kiss
Give your love the most amazing kiss of your life in front of all your friends and family on your wedding day. This kiss symbolizes the passion of your love for each other, and the devotion you will have for the rest of your lives.
Cutting the Cake
Cutting the cake symbolizes the first task you as a couple do together. Make is a smash and a tad playful while taking your first bites. Everyone looks good with a bit of cake on their face.
Garter Toss
My oh my! Your groom will not want to miss out on this! The garter toss is strictly for the handsome men at your wedding.
Bouquet toss
This tradition is important for you, and also for all of the unmarried women attending your wedding. The lucky lady that catches your bouquet is said to be the next woman to get married.
