Whenever I watch wedding videos, I see the same tgings. White gown, bridal party, Escorted down the aisle by father, parent dances, donut walls, etc.
Are any of you having a wedding that's conpletely out of the norm? If so, what?

    I went fairly traditional with the exception of having someone walk me down the aisle and I skipped parent dances.

    Ours isn’t too different. I’m not walking with anyone else, and we aren’t having special dances. The wording of our ceremony won’t be very traditional, and we’re skipping things like cake cutting (not having a cake), bouquet toss, garter toss, grand exit, etc. We’re doing all of our pictures before the ceremony so that we can just hang out with our guests afterwards. It’ll be pretty traditional overall, but it’s very us!


    I would love to attend a super out of the box wedding, though!

    I’m having my brother (he is a groomsman) walk back up the aisle to walk my mom and me down the aisle (my dad isn’t around and I want him to usher my mom to her seat). I’m not doing a garter or bouquet toss. I’m not doing any of the silly games at the reception with my FH and I either. We are doing cupcakes instead of a big wedding cake. I’m not wearing my veil over my face.

    My wedding isn't traditional per say, but it's not completely out of the norm either. I'm not close with either of my parents so to alleviate some anxiety and pressure on my end I'm planning on having both my parents walk me down the aisle. I'm not wearing a veil, instead I'm wearing a medieval cloak because I'm a nerd lol. No bouquet or garter toss, and no dancing because of my anxiety, although everyone is pissed off about that so maybe I'll just do it to shut them up. My bridal party isn't even either, because my MOH can't attend due to a surgery and graduating college. Also she's from South Korea so it's incredibly expensive for her to fly. We are having accents in our decor from our favorite fandoms so thats different I guess lol.

    Oh yes. My wedding was completely out of the norm, as am I . Smiley smile
    I rode my horse to the aisle and I used very bright non- traditional colors, and my flowers were silk. I also dyed my veil ombre purple.
    Honestly, I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was beautiful and I heard from my guests that it was like a fairy tale that came to life. I can't speak for that, but it was the best day of my life, so far Smiley smile

    My friends wedding was very untraditional. Their theme was irrational as it was on pi day. They had everyone dress irrationally so lots of togas, flapper dresses, costumes, and I wore my Renaissance Faire outfit. They had a pie instead of cake and had a first fight instead of a first dance. The husband made the swords (he is a blacksmith) and she wrote a saxophone quartet piece that she performed with her colleagues (she is a music professor). The reception was just dinner and then playing games like cards against humanity the rest of the evening. It was really awesome and laid back!

    We aren't too far out of the norm. Except we are not doing the special dances, speeches, tosses of any kind, no DJ,...it is a very casual, laid back...we're having card games, lawn games, board games, playlists, jam session-my friends are very musically talented so they will be taking turns singing and playing....just a nice evening of having fun with our closest people.

    Offbeatbride.com is a great place for inspiration. Pick something that fits you (and your fiance).

    Our wedding rode the line of traditional and not. My dress was lavender and my bridesmaids wore white. My brother was my man of honor, one of my husband's best friend officiated. Both my parents walked me down the aisle, and rather than normal flowers we had moss, ferns and greenery. It was also in a historic library. We did do the dances (including the Hora) and had a sit down dinner. All of the music was 90s alt rock/pop/hip hop with someone classic rock in there. And we walked down the aisle to 311 and I walked to led Zeppelin
