Weddings don't have to be traditional and plenty aren't. You can do whatever you like as long as it isn't illegal.

Yep, ours won't be traditional either. Your wedding should be a reflection of you and want you want.x
Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)

I want my isle to be an imitation of the yellow brick road ( offcut carpet with the bricks drawn in) Shoes will be just like dorophys My bride maids are going to be in height order in each colour of the rainbow. The main men will be wearing rainbow waistcotas under crisp white suits. Erm.. Just general rainbow theme really. Its really hard to keep it from looking tacky but as long as im happy with it thats all that matters really. i jst want every1 to enjoy themselves. Kids will have lots to do adn hopefully be in fancy dress. Trying to get the adults to aswell but i dont think that gonna happen lol x Hpw about u? x

Our wedding is quite traditional - but is still a reflection of us - we are not having a church wedding (civil ceremony at the hotel instead) and we are not having masses of flowers - we are going for white flowers and a minimalistic look over all.
But yeah I will have the white dress, the speeches will happen, we'll have a top table and a first dance etc. So it's quite traditional but it's also small and intimate with only 60 guests.
is soooo happy and lucky

we have some traditional things, like I really wanted Doves so we have them, as well as the usual sit down meal etc. But h2b is wearing a steampunk outfit and we're having a metal band and metal orientated DJ for the evening. We've got a lovely cake going to be made by the mother in law to be with a zombie spiderman and maryjane statue on it. It's a limited edition one had to have it shipped over from America! I guess we're having a traditional wedding order, but putting our own twist on things with music and visual things!

I think my biggest worry with vearing away from tradition would be that it would be more like a birthday party than a wedding. You have many birthday parties but you only have one wedding.
But yeah I think people should be aloud to do exactly what they want as a couple. Stuff what other people think as it's not their wedding.
is soooo happy and lucky

Ours is a mix; basically, we're doing what we want, so we're doing some things traditionally, and others less so.
The stuff we're not doing traditionally is:
Not sure if we're doing a first dance, my OH isn't keen and I'm not bothered, and we can't think of a song that means anything to us; obv that might change
My BMs are picking their own dresses: only stipulations are that they're not tarty, and not in pastel colours; otherwise they have completely free-reign
My OH, my dad, and the best man are just wearing normal grey suits; they won't be in hats or tails, and won't be wearing cravats etc, just normal ties. The suits won't be matching aside from being a shade of grey
Our venue is a very chic and very modern hotel: it is the polar opposite of every single other venue we viewed. Because of the oppulent and bright decor, we won't be having chair covers and sashes (the more I looked at them the more I didn't want them because I just KNOW that all my friends will have them and I personally think it looks samey)
We're having a slightly random meal, a start and dessert served to the table, with a buffet main course
We're not having cars
We didn't want our wedding to be like everyone else's, we wanted the venue etc to reflect our tastes and personalities: we're super-snobby about hotels (sad but true lol) so when we saw our venue it just suited us down to the ground as it's so individual and finished to such a high standard. Some of the others were beautiful, don't get me wrong, and I'm sure do lovely weddings, but they weren't 'us', and the more I looked, the more I didn't just want a room painted cream, with carpet, with white table cloths, chair covers and sashes and big floral centre-pieces..
