5 Types of Bridesmaids and How to Deal
October 30, 2017
Hello Wedding Watchers! It’s me again. I love weddings, as I’m sure many of you do. There are some traditions, that are considered old fashioned that need to come back because lets be real, some traditions never go out of style. Let’s get started! Ok, So this one I LOVE and needs to happen more often. Brides today absolutely love “first looks” and it’s a really popular trend. What happen to the excitement and the magic in seeing the bride for the first time at the ceremony? I think it makes for a more emotional experience for everyone. I love a grand entrance. PLEASE START DOING THIS AGAIN!

Another oldie but goodie is writing a letter to your spouse the night before your wedding. Sure why not. Something small… sweet words that the bride and groom can read before the wedding. It adds to the emotion of the day too. Such a beautiful moment that the photographer and videographer can catch. Oh how I love these small, yet significant moments; the best! In all the wedding craziness, take some time out to do this. Oh and some advice for the ladies, read it before your make up is done… or ensure the makeup artist is still there (wink). I always say that there is a beauty in simplicity. Listen, I adore big, elaborate wedding receptions, but what happen to the simple reception? Close family and friends coming together to celebrate the bride and groom, are definitely losing popularity. Sometimes parents (mine too) get so out of control with their guest list, that by the time the wedding comes around, you’re meeting their friends, friends, cousin. Who are they? Not sure. The last one I want to talk about is tossing the bouquet and garter. The last 3 weddings that I went to, it never happened. I get it, it can get rough, especially amongst the women. Sometimes, guest don’t even want to participate. One…well… because it gets rough, and two, most of the guests are married. Also, when taking off the garter, the groom can get a bit inappropriate (awkward). The bachelor who catches the garter can also get inappropriate (yes, another awkward moment), which could cause conflict, and again, most of the men are also married. So I completely understand why this is omitted from the program. It is some added entertainment at the wedding though; funny stories to tell later perhaps? I’d love to hear what you think of this blog, comment below. Are there any “Old fashioned” traditions that you’d like to see more of, should get rid of or some that I didn’t mention? Let me know! Enjoy WW’s!!
