Some traditions dictate that a newlywed couple should freeze a piece of their <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/08\/help-clients-pick-right-wedding-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wedding cake<\/a>, and eat it on their first anniversary. It doesn\u2019t sound like a bad plan \u2013 it\u2019s a great way to bring back the memory of your wedding day and celebrate love. But do you really want to be eating a stale, freezer-burnt slice\u00a0of cake just because you think you need to?<\/p>\n<p>Saving a piece of the wedding cake is a lovely idea \u2013 we just don\u2019t recommend digging in a year later!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12082\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wedding-cake.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing wedding cake as an event planner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wedding-cake.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wedding-cake-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Putting_cake_under_your_pillow\"><\/span>Putting cake under your pillow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An even weirder tradition (and one that we hope has already died out) is for single guests to sleep with the cake under their pillow. We just have one question: <em>why?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s meant to give single wedding guests luck in the future. Apparently, it will help them meet the person they are meant to marry! In all honesty though, this would be a huge mess \u2013 one that we definitely do not fancy cleaning up.<\/p>\n<p>More than this, it\u2019s a tradition that can make people feel uncomfortable if it were to come up at a wedding. Nowadays, staying single is normal and there are quite a few guests who have chosen to do so. So, let\u2019s keep up with the times and lay this wedding tradition to rest!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Giving_away_the_bride\"><\/span>Giving away the bride<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is this, 1835? No \u2013 brides do not need their fathers to give them away. This is a tradition that has stuck around for far too long, and yes, we do realize why!<\/p>\n<p>A father-daughter bond is extremely important to some clients, and you\u2019ll need to respect what the bride wants. Mainly, brides will want their parents there for support on the big day \u2013 so having their father walk them up the aisle is a huge comfort.<\/p>\n<p>But it shouldn\u2019t just be about the father \u201cgiving\u201d the bride to her groom. It should be about the bride and groom building a new family as equals, which means we need to banish the notion that a woman needs permission to marry!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12083\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Bridal-traditions.jpg\" alt=\"Traditions for wedding planning ideas\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Bridal-traditions.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Bridal-traditions-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_white_dress\"><\/span>The white dress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve already seen a pretty big step away from the traditional white dress in the wedding industry, but this is still a dated tradition that needs to go! Brides are opting for all sorts of colors, and many go for a bridal gown similar to white (champagne, for instance). Although things have changed, there are still some judgmental people who can\u2019t bear the thought of a non-white wedding dress.<\/p>\n<p>This brings us back to our main point on wedding traditions \u2013 brides should have their way, and they shouldn\u2019t feel pressure to conform!

Yet, the tradition of only having female bridesmaids and male groomsmen is a bit dated \u2013 and it makes many people feel hindered by selecting their wedding party.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a feminist tirade, but this wedding tradition is quite ridiculous. And yes, we know that the terms \u201cbridesmaid\u201d and \u201cgroomsmen\u201d roll off the tongue nicely, but that\u2019s just because we\u2019re used to it. Let\u2019s start encouraging couples to choose Men of Honor and Best Women to stand by their sides at the altar!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12084\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bridesmaid-roles.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding roles and traditions for certified planners\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bridesmaid-roles.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bridesmaid-roles-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identical_bridesmaids_gowns\"><\/span>Identical bridesmaids\u2019 gowns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This tradition has been breaking down in recent years, and we\u2019re so happy that people are on board! Identical bridesmaids\u2019 gowns don\u2019t work simply because no two bodies are the same. People look and feel comfortable in different styles, and as much as you can alter a dress, you can\u2019t make someone feel comfortable in it.<\/p>\n<p>One way wedding planners are changing this tradition is using the same color for the gowns, but allowing bridesmaids to select different styles of dress. This keeps the wedding party uniform, but also unique. Don\u2019t fret \u2013 they\u2019ll still have matching bouquets!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_seeing_each_other_before_the_ceremony\"><\/span>Not seeing each other before the ceremony<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although it is a fun idea to have the bride and groom surprised when they first see each other on their big day, it\u2019s a very intimate moment! Allowing the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony lets them have a private, sentimental moment together. Plus, it makes for a great photo op!<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Leave these outdated traditions behind and find out which <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/12\/8-event-planning-mistakes-ditching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">event planning mistakes you need to ditch<\/a>!<\/i><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which wedding traditions should you stop using to give your clients a modern day marriage?
