We all understand the value of a traditional wedding. Nothing is more symbolic than celebrating and blessing the sanctity of marriage with a timeless event appealing to guests of all ages; and the inclusion of time honored traditions – such as the father daughter dance and something old to remind us of the past, something new to look toward the future, something borrowed to represent how much we cherish our loved ones, and something blue to represent the purity of love – are comforting and symbolic of a beautiful union.
However, modern weddings – offering contemporary elements or an entirely fresh approach – are becoming more and more appealing to new generations, as well as old. Imagine live streaming your wedding and posting it on social media for those who can’t make it or to simply savor the wonderful memories you created? Or how about a QR code that leads to a wedding website? You could also use a hashtag dedicated to your wedding so that friends and family can track your event process and check out all your photos.
Speaking of photos, many are seeking the services of wedding photographers who can accommodate these types of needs. You might even consider a drone for aerial wedding shots!
And, with our changing times, wedding menus are changing too, many of which include vegan options. There are also more sustainable weddings for the environmentally conscious with biodegradable options such as birdseed or real flower petals as opposed to confetti for tossing. Wedding invitations can also be sustainable if you opt for evites instead of printed wedding invites. Evites can also be a quicker, easier, more affordable wedding invitation option offering more variations too!
