Weddings are a big event in a couple’s life. There’s so much to plan and prepare for. It’s exciting! Weddings also bring up a lot of “traditions” that have been around seemingly forever. But that doesn’t mean you HAVE to include them. In fact, cutting them out of the mix can make for a far less stressful event. Birkat Elyon is in the business of gorgeous, high-quality cubic zirconia wedding rings. We’ve seen (and heard) a thing or two around wedding planning; here are some traditions you can give up.
WEARING WHITE
Wearing a white wedding dress started as a “thing” way back in the 19th century. Modern brides should feel free to wear whatever kind of dress or color that they want. Plus, by foregoing the traditional bridal gown, you’re not locked into limited styles and an expensive dress you’ll only wear once. Don’t forget to accent your personal style with elegant CZ earrings!
MATCHING BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES
We’ve all heard the jokes about ugly bridesmaid dresses (and no, they won’t wear it again. Ever). Instead, choose a color and let them pick their own outfit.
SPEAKING OF BRIDESMAIDS…
Picking among your friends and family members to accompany you on the Big Day can be stressful. And what if you don’t have enough bridesmaids to fill out your big bridal party? There’s no rule saying you have to have them.
WALKING DOWN THE AISLE
Seven out of ten brides-to-be admit that the most nerve-wracking part of the ceremony is walking down the aisle. All eyes are on you, and for shy types, that can produce epic levels of anxiety. Another option is to stand at the altar as your guests arrive and take their seats.
THE BOUQUET TOSS
This is supposed to be a fun moment for single ladies: whoever catches the bouquet is next to find true love! But this can also be isolating or embarrassing for some. Here’s another thought: gift the bouquet to someone who has been especially helpful in your wedding experience. It will prove a meaningful token. Another thoughtful gift to those special people in your life is a dazzling piece of affordable, high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry. Birkat Elyon offers beautiful bracelets, earrings, necklaces. and more.
SKIP THE PARTY FAVORS
You’ll save money on these trinkets, most of which get left behind anyway.
FORGET THE MORNING AFTER
A lot of couples offer their overnight guests a special breakfast spread the next morning. That’s nice, but truthfully, your guests are eager to pack up and be on their way. Instead, save the money and just order up some room service for you and your new spouse.
Go ahead: shake things up and make your wedding one that reflects your true style and personality. Birkat Elyon is here to help add some beautiful “bling”!
