Keep or Cancel: Garter Toss?
Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

I have to confess that I've never actually seen a garter toss in person! But apparently 37% of grooms still participate in this reception tradition! Will this toss tradition make the cut for your...

Keep or Cancel: Bouquet Toss?
Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

To toss the bouquet, or not to toss? 💐 That is the divisive question! Some brides are so over this outdated tradition, and don't want to drag out all their single friends onto the dance floor while...

Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Clink Clink!! 🥂 It's time to smooch again, as demanded by your guests! Are you saying keep to this tradition because you'll take any opportunity to lay another kiss on your new spouse's lips? 😘 Or do...

Keep or Cancel: Reception Speeches?
Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Reception toasts from your father, maid of honor, and best man can be incredibly moving and bring everyone to happy tears! 😭 That is, when the speeches are done well! On the other hand, they can also...

Are you keeping the tradition of dancing with your parents at the reception with father-daughter and mother-son dances (or whatever family combo works for you!)? Or would you rather cancel this...

Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Do you still get emotional when you hear the traditional promises of "in sickness and in health"? Or are you all-in on modernizing the old wedding vows and making them more personal to your...

Keep or Cancel: "Here Comes The Bride"?
Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

"Here Comes The Bride" (aka Wagner's Bridal Chorus) is the traditional old-school processional song. Do you still love this dramatic bridal march? Or are you ready to say goodbye to this old organ...

Lynnie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Are you SO over seeing an army of bridesmaids wearing the exact same dress? Or do you still like the traditional uniform look? It's time to vote on matching bridesmaids dresses! Keep or cancel? Photo...

People thinking they are invited to the wedding
Rachel, on July 3, 2019 at 8:29 PM

I just need to vent for a second. I think it’s really frustrating that people automatically think they will be invited to the wedding even if there’s no talk about it. Trust me, if I could afford to...

Footing the Bill: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:17 AM

One of the first and most important questions that comes up when you start wedding planning is "who's paying?" Traditionally the parents of the bride used to foot the bill, but today many couples are...

Dessert: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:17 AM

Another place where couples have been catering to their personal preferences is dessert!! The traditional multi-tiered wedding cake is no longer a staple of every wedding reception, with cupcakes,...

Ceremony Venue: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:18 AM

The choice of ceremony venue has been switched up too! Less couples are getting married in a place of worship (just 25%!), and more couples are choosing to say "I do" in gorgeous gardens and unique...

Bridesmaids Dresses: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Wedding Attire: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:05 AM

One of the first things you picture when someone says "wedding" is a bride in white! This tradition seems to be holding strong - we surveyed last year's couples, and 82% of them said at least one of...

Living Situation: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Planning Timeline: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Most people would say the planning doesn't start until after the proposal - but that doesn't seem to be the case with millennials! Maybe it's because we're waiting longer to tie the knot, but two out...

Proposal: Modern or Traditional?
Lynnie, on April 23, 2019 at 11:05 AM

One tradition that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon is getting down on one knee for the proposal! Did you or your fiancé(e) get down on one knee for the proposal? Or did you try something...
