There are “traditional” wedding elements that are on the decline - bouquet toss, garter toss, or favors, for instance. We have to recognize that over time, some traditions will lose their meaning, significance, and popularity. So instead of seeking traditional elements, couple have to ask themselves what is meaningful to them, what resonates, what is relevant to represent their partnership and celebration. So while we are not opposed to traditions per se, they should be carefully considered - fundamentally and practically. Traditional elements go further than the garter toss, of course. There are cultural and faith-based traditions as well. Since some of these might be expectations of the couple’s family, there can be pressure to incorporate, so a conversation is important to have, and if the family truly understands the motivations of the couple getting married, they should be understanding and supportive of the couple’s wishes. The benefit, when done tastefully and meaningfully, is that the celebration retains a connection to the family, community, culture. The element becomes a gesture of the continuity of love, devotion, faith, loyalty. Ready for more expert advice from us?
