Traditions: Still Cool v Old School
Do you plan to embrace old school wedding traditions, are there any you think are still cool or just plain outdated?
Easy Weddings social followers had a lot to say, and the results are really interesting! They recently ran a poll about wedding traditions, thinking some were a little outdated and some might be die-hard traditions that’ll stand the test of time. They had nearly 15,000 responses that ranged from passionate to tepid in their feelings about these traditions.
Here are the findings, mixed with some ideas on new spins to the old school traditions. As with all things related to planning your wedding, we strongly emphasise the “You do want you want” nature of your wedding. If you do love some of the more old-fashioned traditions, run with them and enjoy them!
