With Christmas and the end of the year fast approaching, I have been giving some thought to the latest wedding trends that I have seen emerging here on the Northern Beaches!
“Walking Down the Aisle”
One of the big wedding trends coming through at the moment that I see as a Marriage Celebrant, is for less traditions. Couples are eliminating ‘traditions for tradition’s sake’ and coming up with fresh, modern ideas for their special day, focusing on personalizing every aspect of their wedding to reflect their interests and personalities.
Walking down the aisle:
Rather than the tradition of the father walking the bride down the aisle, many brides and grooms are walking down the aisle together. This is a wonderful option for brides and grooms with blended families. Other walk-down-the-aisle trends include:
- the bride walking down the aisle by herself,
- having both parents accompany the bride and groom,
- the bride walking down the aisle with her mother or grandparents or children.
- couples to walk down separate aisles during the ceremony and meet together in front of their guests
- in some outdoor weddings brides are riding their horse or walking their dog to the altar!
