Modern Weddings Made Perfect by Classic Traditions

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

The evolution of wedding and wedding planning ha evolved dramatically. The once classic style of weddings like the Van Osburgh marriage had advanced into a Hollywood expression of glamour and fame. The once tradition of horse carriages, and the use of train convoys to transport guests had been replaced by Mercedes minivans. The exotic orchids that adorn the church are now flown from the distant Brazil hours before the ceremony. Technology has also created a difference in the way weddings are planned and executed.

However there are still things that remain unchanged. Every bride began with a concept of their wedding years before they met their mate. That image in mind becomes the backbone of the plan.

Consider the following to look into when planning your wedding:

1. Weddings are based on the budget. The size of the wedding is a constant that decides the number of guests, location, food, decor and the like.
2. The time and date is an important ingredient. This impacts the mood and flavor of the party.
3. Quality gives a unique feel to your event. As they say, it is better to have a single choice of wine of the best quality than have several wine choices that leave a bad taste to each course of meal.
4. Personality must be distinct in the celebration. The wedding must reflect the wonderful story of your relationship. It must not feel awkward for you and your fiancé.
5. Logistics provide easy access and movement of your guests. Would they be able to find the location with ease? Will they have good accommodation and transportation?
6. Customs and Tradition can be customized to how you feel about them. You can choose the ones that you find fitting and comfortable to every one in attendance.
7. Emotions are great to be documented and cherished. Writing a diary as the planning progress, spending quality moments with a family member, watching romantic movies and the like nurtures a lasting bond between relatives in both sides of the family.

The undying beauty of classical traditions continues amidst huge leaps in the society’s mores and tastes. No matter how technologically-modified modern weddings have become, there are traditions that will keep it more grounded, more human.

1) Spray paint the bottom of a clay pot black, or whatever color you choose. Once dry paint the top rim a difference color.

2) Collect branches to put in your pots. I just cut branches from a tree in our yard and used one large branch per pot.

3) Fill the pot with rocks to help secure the tree branch.

4) Create the toilet paper ornaments by cutting a swatch that will cover the toilet paper roll. Don’t worry about getting all the way to the top and bottom because your accessories will cover it up. Once you have glued the fabric to the roll, punch two small holes in the top of the roll, one of each side and then thread wire or string through the holes as a way to hang it. Finally, glue beads to the bottom and add a small boa to the top – or whatever trimming accessories you choose. (fringe, ribbon, etc)

5) Collect gems with holes in the top to hang from the branches. You can find gems at Michaels and other craft or bead stores. Then thread with clear string or wire and hang from the branches.

6) Glue orchids randomly on the branches and finally, cover the top of the pot with flowers or moss to cover the rocks.
