A Modern Wedding: Saying ‘I Do’ Your Way | Austin, TX Wedding Planners




From proposing on one knee to having “something borrowed, something blue,” many traditions stem from ancient history. Although nothing is wrong with continuing these traditions, many couples are opting out of certain customs that don’t work for them, and choosing more modern ideas that do. One thing we hear often is that people wish they knew they didn’t have to incorporate all traditions on their wedding day. We have compiled a list of ways you can include more modern ideas in your dream wedding. Let’s get into them!


 

First Look

One popular tradition is to not see your bride or groom until you’re walking down the aisle. Many couples opt for a first look, where they see their fiancé before the ceremony. This not only takes off the pressure of hiding all day but also allows your photographer to capture moments before guests arrive. Couples often wish they had more time for pictures after the ceremony and before the reception, and this is one way to ensure you capture more memories!
