Traditional weddings have been popular for a long time. Sticking to conventions appeals to many people, as it means celebrating in a way that one’s ancestors may have done. Plus, it makes the wedding feel more intimate and classic. If you want to host a traditional wedding, here are five essential components to include.
1. A Classic Venue
When it comes to a traditional wedding, the venue matters. Aim for a classic wedding reception hall, one that offers historical furnishings and a grand entrance. If you can imagine someone one hundred years ago getting married there, you have likely found the right one. Think balconies, marble accents, large dining tables, and sweeping staircases for a traditional wedding that will go down in history. Of course, you can also add decorations to the venue to make it feel more classic! Many traditional weddings also take place in religious spaces, so consider that for yours.
2. Exchanging Vows and Rings
The exchanging and wedding vows date back to the medieval era. If you want a traditional wedding, keep some of those traditions on your big day, making sure to exchange vows and rings in front of your guests. Plus, it will really feel like you have tied the knot. To go a step further, have a ring bearer and incorporate your own shared vows that are meaningful to both of you.
3. Family Support
All traditional weddings have familial support, so get your nearest and dearest involved. Perhaps you could make your nephew the ring bearer and your sister the maid of honor. Giving your family key roles in the engagement and the wedding day will feel far more traditional.
4. Coordinated Bridesmaid Dresses
There’s something classically beautiful about the bridesmaids wearing coordinated dresses. It’s a traditional wedding take and makes the photographs stand out even further. Of course, you don’t need to make the dresses match exactly (although this is an option), as there are many ways to coordinate while allowing your bridesmaids to wear something they feel happy and comfortable in.
5. Classic Wedding Décor
It’s all about the vision. For a more traditional wedding, use classic wedding décor – the type of timeless decorations that would have looked just as in place centuries ago as they do now (perhaps with a few modern adjustments). Think about things like:
- Drapes
- White flowers
- Long stick candles
- Large set dining areas
- Wedding arch
It’s all about the details, too – for example, each seated space should have a guest’s name to show where everyone should be seated.
In Summary
Traditional weddings work well for many people. No matter how modern your current life is, sometimes it’s nice to retreat back to a time when technology wasn’t as present. Spend your day feeling like you’re living in a classic fairytale by hosting a traditional-themed wedding, and you are sure to remember the day fondly for many years to come. Just don’t forget those five essential components!
