Balancing traditions on your wedding day

Uncategorized

Balancing tradition with personal style in a wedding can be a beautiful way to honor your roots while making the day uniquely yours. Never have we seen such a time we you can do just about anything.  Make it your love story!!

Here are a few ways to approach it:

1. Prioritize Meaningful Traditions Focus on traditions that resonate with you and your fiancé, whether they hold family significance or have a cultural or religious meaning.  Couples are finding creative ways to balance traditions and modernity in their ceremony and reception.

2. Blend Old and New Mix traditional elements with modern touches, like adding classic decor but with a contemporary twist.

3. Personalize Rituals If there are rituals or customs that don’t fully align with your vision, consider modifying them. 25 years ago everyone participated in the garter toss.  This is where the groom would remove the garter from the bride and tosses it into a crowd of single men.   We have not seen the toss but a few times at the Admiral Room. Instead, you could have a photo taken of the single guests and look back on this a few years later to see the differences.  Make it your own!

4.  Incorporate Personal Elements:

When you think of your wedding day, it is easy to focus heavily on the reception, but incorporating traditional elements can help anchor the day for its deeper meaning. A first look or first touch with a prayer or private vows, a unity event during your ceremony, a traditional blessing, or a private dinner can be beautiful ways to uphold the day’s significance while still leaving room for dancing and celebration.  We have seen a variety of wonderful ideas.  Let us know you are interested in any of these, and we will assist you in the planning.
