With so many weddings these days, it can be hard to set your own apart. But with a few fun and unique ideas we have in store, you can make yours stand out and create a truly memorable experience for yourself and your guests.
Add a touch of creativity and a splash of style with these 10 new wedding traditions!
You’ve seen the amazing wedding videos that are making their rounds on social media—now it’s time to make your own. Hire a videographer to capture all the special moments on your big day, and then share them with family and friends or make a tradition of going down memory lane by revisiting it with your spouse every anniversary.
Instead of going for the traditional white dress, why not add a pop of color? Brides are now opting for blush, blue, and even black wedding gowns to make their special day all the more unique. Skip the classic, and go straight for the wow factor.
For those looking to save money or have a smaller celebration, there’s no need for large bridal parties. Have your closest friend stand by your side for a simple yet meaningful occasion.
Having a memorable experience is better than having a traditional wedding these days. Consider the following new wedding traditions centered around creating experiences:

While a videographer may capture most of your big day, don’t forget to also invest in beautiful photographs as well. Forgo the classically posed shots and go for a vintage-inspired vibe that you can look back on fondly years later.
You can frame it, hang it in your home, or even create a photo album that you can turn into an heirloom.
Rather than having your guests sign a traditional book, get creative with this new wedding tradition—have them write messages on oversized cards or postcards that you can hang up in your home for everyone to see. Consider prompts to guide the direction of the message like:
Sustainable new wedding traditions are becoming more popular these days as people are starting to become more environmentally conscious. Consider upcycling your decorations like using old cans, mason jars, and bottles to hold the flowers for a unique touch. You can also use fabric from old clothing items or thrift stores to create beautiful table runners or chair covers.
Choose decorations wisely so they can be used again. This way, you can save money and maintain a sustainable approach to your wedding.
Make your special day even more unique with signature cocktails! Instead of a bar, make it a cocktail experience that will wow all your guests with unique new drinks they’ll be dreaming of for years to come after the wedding.
