Tradition Twists

My goal in 2013 is to blog more!

On my Facebook, I mentioned that there are so many traditions! To the father walking her down the isle, to not seeing the Groom before you walk down the isle, to the lighting of the candle.  To what the ring bearer carries, to what side the Bride and Groom families sets on.  It goes on and on! Traditions are great but there is nothing wrong with taking one tradition and putting a unique twist on it and making it your own!  That will set your wedding apart from all the other wedding in 2013. 

These are some of my Favorite Twists.  

Who says your Ring Bearer has to carry the Rings?  Have your Flower girl carry the rings.  Who says it has to be carried on a pillow?  Have her carry the Rings on a Family Bible and have her give them to the Groom and then take her place.  With the Rings safely in the Groom's hands, the Ring Bearer can carry a sign that states "Here Comes the Bride"

Who says you have to have the Bride's Family on the Left and the Groom's on the Right?                 I   Have the Bride and Groom's alter in the middle and set out a sign that reads.  "Friends of the Bride.... Friends of the Groom.... Sit Together, there is plenty of Room"   

Here is another sign! I think that the signs really add a personal touch to your special day.            (Signs, also a new trend)

                 Seating was designed by Colin Cowie, this event took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Who says all the Bridesmaid have to wear the same color or style?  I now love the fact that not all bridesmaids dresses are the same color.  I think it is even nice when all the dresses are the same color, just different styles. 

The fun times always happen at the Reception!  RIGHT? So this is when you can really add twists to traditions.  So take some of your favorite hobbies and incorporate that into the twist.  If its Golf, add golf balls and tees to centerpieces.  Make up Golf Scorecards for the tables and Golf clubs for the photo booth.  You can think of all kinds of different things.   The couple I decorated for had a wine theme and I used wine glass with corks for the centerpieces and chalk painted Wine bottles and wrote their names on them.  Also used corks for name card holders. 

Make your special day a day you will never forget.

And Remember.......
