To kickstart my return I’ve just found this super groovy info graphic on the ‘where did they come from’ of some pretty well known wedding traditions.
I’m a big fan of breaking tradition and creating the kind of wedding the screams “this is us!!!” but in saying that, I don’t think they should necessarily be wiped out – rather, pick and choose what means something to you, the keep it, twist it or recreate it entirely yourselves.
After all, the world of weddings would never have moved on if all us Brides stagnated in tradition.
Whoop whoop to groovy new traditions too!

My favourite tradition has to be Daddy walking the Bride up the aisle. But I know full-well that sometimes Dad isn’t available and so the tradition changed, as in our case, and I walked up the aisle with my Father-In-Law: a super proud moment that I now cherish after we lost him three weeks ago.
Weddings are full of memories. Do you have a favourite memory from your wedding or a wedding you attended?
