Our Favorite Tradition-breaking Wedding Trends

Your wedding day doesn't have to be cookie-cutter! We love to see couples embracing their personalities and style to create a celebration that is truly unique to them.

You've for sure seen the latest trends of cutting (OUT) the cake and family-style meals becoming the norm. Perfectly mismatched bridesmaid dresses are having their moment, and couples are using well-known favorite songs with a softer "wedding feel" for their special moments -- "First Date" for your processional or first dance anyone?

These are all trends we are LOVING, but there are a few more trends on our list that you need to know about!

1- Moissanite engagement rings! Who said it has to be a diamond?

These stones are a more cost-effective option for a larger carat and they reflect a RAINBOW of light! Vendors to consider: Cullen Moissanite and Gema and Co.

2- Wearing WHATEVER you want.

Whether that's a non-white dress, swapping heels for your Converse, skipping the veil, and/or wearing something other than a dress entirely! Bridal separates and jumpsuits are quickly becoming a popular and modern choice.

3- Walking down the aisle however feels right for you! If you're following tradition for tradition's sake, your ceremony won't feel authentic to the two of you.

You can walk down the aisle with your partner, with both parents (or anyone else you have that special bond with), or walk yourself! Yes, it's totally okay to walk solo. Shoutout Meghan Markle! 

Are you going to do any of these on your wedding day?! Check out our Instagram post for more photo inspiration of each of these trends!
