Modern or traditional?

I'm a bit of both. My dad is walking me down the aisle, I am having a veil (mostly because my fiance would like that). I'm planning to have both a bridal shower and a bachelorette party but non traditional bachelorette. Considered a first look but just can't, I love the idea of my FHs reaction as I was down the aisle! I have never been a fan of the something new etc so definitely not doing that. And not doing a receiving line. And I do not want a white dress at all, I want a blush or blush purple!

View quoted message I absolutely love traditional Indian wedding attire! Looks like you have such a beautiful day!

Indian tradition and suita with bows we changed into for reception.

Modern

I’m having both my parents walk me down the aisle

No veil

Shower but with some feminist tweaks

No traditional vows (doing our own)

No cake cutting

FH has a female in his wedding party

Def doing a first look

No something old, borrowed and blue unless mama cares enough to do it for me lol.

Not changing my name

Eloping in Illinois before the wedding!

We aren't really doing anything traditional, other than the first dance and the cake cutting. It's my second wedding so I wanted things to be as simple as possible.

Mix.

im not wearing a veil (dated!)
guys dont need boutionneres
yes to first look & pics w/ bridal party & families etc before ceremony
no cake slicing/cake smash
lion dance (ode to my heritage)
yes to Church ceremony (religious reasons).

no father-daughter dance
artificial bouquet for myself & my bridesmaids

View quoted message Thanks Erin. We were thinking of having a cupcake stand or so, instead of cake

View quoted message I suggest either having a cake that your caterer cuts for you or do a dessert table.

Modern.... Most traditional stuff we've either changed or skipped.
Very relaxed wedding... First look and photos before the ceremony.. Short and sweet crremony and our reception will basically be a giant backyard bbq with a couple speeches and a dance party thrown in. We are keepjng the first dance but only like 30 seconds or so before our wedding party will get up and dance with us no garter/boquet toss. No cake cutting. No wedding games. No father daughter dance.

View quoted message Kind of what we’re going for as well. We will have a short civil ceremony, but we won’t be seeing each other before that most likely.

We will be doing only the basic speeches and the couple’s first dance, but no bouquet toss.

Not sure whether we will have cake, but I’m not a fan of cake cutting, so most likely will skip that as well.

We had a mix, but mostly modern with a few traditions thrown in.

We had a pretty modern wedding I think with a few traditional elements. Very short ceremony but my husband never saw me before I walked down the aisle. Our reception was somewhat traditional (speeches, parent dance and first dance) but also modern (no garter or bouquet toss, we created our own playlist, no cake).

View quoted message I feel like our styles and preferences are very similar!

Traditional ceremony. Reception is mostly traditional as well. We are eliminating some of the traditional things but we aren't replacing it with something modern (if that makes sense). We are not doing the cake or garter/bouquet toss.

I think definitely more modern, there are a few traditional things we want to keep, but we want everything to be as relaxed as possible! We're renting out a fairly large restaurant so there won't be assigned seating, our ceremony will be short with my fiancé's two daughters standing up with us instead of a bridal party, and I think we're skipping a cake in favour of a dessert buffet, but having our first dance and the father-daughter dance is really important to us both

We used the traditional aspects of a wedding and creating our own personalized spin on them. First look will probably be the biggest non-traditional thing we do!

I am having a traditional ceremony and having many different traditional aspects in my reception.
