Are there any traditions you are skipping?

Michelle, on January 3, 2022 at 2:00 PM Posted in Planning 0 9
Whether customary in your own social circle or popular online that may or may not be done with your families because they don’t fit your vision or style? For example: skipping toasts and introductions at the reception or jewelry/robes for bridesmaids.

    We are all about making our wedding our own vision and not doing things that are “traditional” just for the sake of doing them. So we are skipping corsages for the moms, there will be no dress code for guests, wedding party will pick out all their own attire, there will be no flower girl or ringbearer (no children period, actually), no grand entrances or exits, no spotlight dances, no speeches, no bouquet or garter toss, no silly games at the reception.

    I’m skipping the bridesmaids/MOH/best man/groomsmen, and also the flower girl/ring bearer.

    I'm also not having a flower girl or ring bearer because there are no kids in my social circle, but I feel like that's not a tradition. Plenty of "traditional" weddings don't have someone to fill every role. The most traditional things we're skipping are the first dance and parent dances. My fiancé doesn't want all eyes on him and I don't want the guests to get bored during that part.

    I don’t plan on the bouquet/garter toss, ring bearer/flower girl, or a dance or toasts. I’m also trying to avoid anything monogrammed for my bridesmaids 😂

    I'm not throwing the bouquet or having a ring bearer. No favors, no guestbook, no money dance, and no speeches unless someone REALLY wants to.

    We're not having bridesmaids/groomsmen and not doing a garter toss.

    I will be walking myself. No flower girl or ring bearer. My dad will escort my sister who is my MOH instead and my other bridesmaid will be walked by her fiancé who is not a groomsman. The groomsmen will be at the front before the ceremony starts. No veil for me. I’m wearing sneakers instead of heels (is that tradition? I don’t know). First look. I know that’s more common these days but non traditional. Different desserts instead of cake. No toasts. And I’m letting bridesmaids wear whatever they want as long as it’s the color I asked. Also no bouquet/ garter toss and we’ll be playing a “game” before all the dancing starts where the DJ will ask us two questions and we’ll raise a shoe for who it applies to in front of everyone

    We are basically having a fancy dinner party. There will be toasts & cake cutting & grand exit. I’m walking down the aisle by myself. Skipping: grand entrance, 1st dance (we are doing a farewell dance), no open dancing, no bouquet/garter toss, no flower girl/ring bearer, no registry of any kind.
