How to Modernise Your Wedding

Weddings are a joyous occasion and more so in the company of friends and family. From popping the occasion to finalising the wedding dates, sourcing the venue and sending out wedding invitations, a lot goes into prepping for a wedding. So, it is about time you spend some time in understanding how you can elevate your function from the ground to heavens above. Take cues from this article and look at ways in which you can put a modern spin on your traditional celebration. 

1. A new spin on a loved tradition

You don’t need to do away with a tradition that’s crucial for the wedding. But this doesn’t mean you can’t add a few changes, either. Get creative and come up with ideas to spruce up old traditions without being offensive. It could be as simple as adding an extra game or two between the couple during the wedding ceremonies. Or take something loved like playing a prank on the groom and stealing his shoes for money and make the stakes higher by throwing in a gift package! You don’t need to feel restricted to old ideas at all.

2. Write your vows and get a friend to supervise

Why not have your own special ceremonies before the main event with your closest friends and family? Exchange your vows and write as much as you’d like and get one of your closest friends to supervise over the proceedings and conduct the ceremony. Do remember to get lots of pictures clicked. This makes it extra special, less formal and more memorable and will you have chuckling for a long time to come. The vows will also give you a chance to really express your feelings for a partner in a setting like that one which may not happen during the official ceremony which is generally a lot more rushed, formal and full of lots of rituals you must follow.

3. Add personal touches to everything

Let your personalities shine in every aspect of the wedding. This is a great way to appear a lot more modern and contemporary. Whether you’re looking at décor, entertainment ideas for the reception, your wedding shoes or your invites, be creative. For example, if you love funky props, give your guests plenty of options to play with. Appearing less aloof and distant even in something like a wedding invite or wedding photos will have your guests intrigued and excited for the party!

4. Other ideas

Make sure you include everyone in the parties including your older guests and get them to participate in the picture-taking and photo-booth sessions. No one including the kids should feel left out and instruct the hosts for your parties to make things interactive. For a complicated wedding ritual or ceremony, hand out clever translations and pamphlets for your guests to go through and feel more connected with what’s happening at the ceremony. Enjoy your day in the company of your loved ones and make some loving memories. 

We hope now you have got somethings under control. Apart from delegating wedding duties take cues from these pointers in understanding what needs to be done. Include your wedding guests in your festivities and make most of your wedding moments. click some pictures, play some games, end up having some wedding dance choreography and make the most of your special day.
