Can I have a non-traditional wedding? Absolutely!!!
In this era, it seems as though most weddings you see are very traditional. This may mislead you to believe that nontraditional weddings are not "in" anymore.
If you have ideas of doing a non-traditional wedding, we can show you that you can still have everything you have dreamed of even if it strays away from these traditional weddings, you may see the most.
Here are a few ideas to create that non-traditional wedding you have dreamed of:
1. Have your ceremony in a place other than a church
2. Wear your favorite color wedding dress rather than the normal white dress
3. If you do this, you can even have your bridesmaids dress in white!
4. Carry a different special item instead of flowers- this can be a puppy, a fern, feathers, or a candle
5. Create your own flower center piece using buttons and lace, decorated wine bottles, or potted plants
6. Wear your favorite pair of shoes, converse, or vans instead of heals
7. Have a man of honor instead of maid of honor to have your best guy friend or brother by your side
8. Mix it up! Get a different form of dessert instead of a normal wedding cake.
9. Forget catering, cook your own food for your reception or have a family member cook.
10. Another thing you can do for the theme of your wedding, is to have the wedding be all around casual. This can apply to your venue, dresses, and suites (or lack of), decorations and setting.
In the past, LGBTQ weddings have always been a controversial topic in our world today. Thankfully now they are becoming more widely accepted and common. Currently, weddings are becoming increasingly about a celebration of life and love rather than focusing on the gender of the couple. Because of this, couples are now planning semi-traditional weddings while focusing on their individualities.
Here is a photo of the beautiful commitment ceremony Luxe planned for Michelle and Valerie before LGBTQ marriages were legal- today they are happily and legally married!
