Spring Bridal
Put more you into your wedding day
A wedding day is fi lled with symbolic
tradition, from varied religious customs
to the never-ending circle refl ected
in the rings and the types of fl owers
accentuating the celebration. Even
with all the traditional rituals to consider,
nearly every bride and groom can
fi nd ways to give their special day some
unique touches that refl ect their personality
and love.
Music sets the mood for every wedding,
and it’s an easy place to put your own spin
on the celebration. Whether you forgo the
traditional bridal march entirely or simply
look for an arrangement that gives an
updated twist to the classic version, let
guests know this isn’t your average wedding
by setting the festivities against a
soundtrack that lets your true character
shine.
Th e wedding party is intended to be a
collection of those nearest and dearest to
the bride and groom, who help ensure the
day goes off without a hitch and who lead
fellow revelers in celebrating the start of
the new couple’s life together. Th at being
said, there’s no reason this group must be
limited to women on her side and guys on
his, or even that it’s limited to humans - a
beloved pooch can make for an adorable
ring-bearer, aft er all.
Photography is an essential element of
your big day, but think beyond the images
you’ll capture throughout the wedding
and reception. Photos lend a personal
touch, no matter what your color scheme
or theme. Integrate photos of the two of
you at various stages of life, together as a
couple and with loved ones (perhaps even
some you’re honoring in memoriam). You
can display these at a table with the guest
book, as part of the table centerpieces, or
even on the gift table. Or take things digital
and load all your images into a slide
show set to music.
Make favors meaningful. Forgo more
common items like bubbles and chocolate,
and instead send a little of yourself
home with your guests. Maybe it’s a
memento from a place with special meaning
to you both, or a bottle opener shaped
like a bicycle to represent the way you
met. Just think about the moments and
things that defi ne you as a couple and do
some searching online. You’ll probably
be surprised by how quickly the options
pile up.
Serve up a menu that shows guests
more about your life together. Your loved
ones can order basic beef or chicken anywhere.
Instead, give them a glimpse into
you. Make your main course the same
food you enjoyed on your fi rst date or
during another monumental moment in
your courtship. Or plan the entire menu
around a region that you hold close to
your heart.
Weddings are fi lled with traditions, but
that doesn’t mean you can’t put your own
touches on the day for a special event
fi lled with memories that are uniquely
your own. Find more advice for life’s special
moments at elivingtoday.com.
