Weddings also bring up a lot of \u201ctraditions\u201d that have been around seemingly forever. But that doesn\u2019t mean you HAVE to include them.

We\u2019ve seen (and heard) a thing or two around wedding planning; here are some traditions you can give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WEARING WHITE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearing a white wedding dress started as a \u201cthing\u201d way back in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> 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\u2019re not locked into limited styles and an expensive dress you\u2019ll only wear once. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-earrings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Don\u2019t forget to accent your personal style with elegant CZ earrings!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MATCHING BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard the jokes about ugly bridesmaid dresses (and\nno, they won\u2019t wear it again. Ever). Instead, choose a color and let them pick\ntheir own outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPEAKING OF BRIDESMAIDS\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking among your friends and family members to accompany\nyou on the Big Day can be stressful. And what if you don\u2019t have enough\nbridesmaids to fill out your big bridal party? There\u2019s no rule saying you <em>have<\/em>\nto have them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WALKING DOWN THE AISLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven out of ten brides-to-be admit that the most\nnerve-wracking part of the ceremony is walking down the aisle. All eyes are on\nyou, and for shy types, that can produce epic levels of anxiety. Another option\nis to stand at the altar as your guests arrive and take their seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE BOUQUET TOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s 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, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a>.

That\u2019s nice, but truthfully, your guests are\neager to pack up and be on their way. Instead, save the money and just order up\nsome room service for you and your new spouse.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go ahead: shake things up and make your wedding one that\nreflects your true style and personality.
