While for some, wedding traditions are being seen as coming out of style (it\u2019s seems like less brides let their father pay for the wedding each year), there is still something to be said for the tried and tested traditions that are still knocking about. Here are some wedding traditions that won\u2019t disappear anytime soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Not Seeing The Bride Before the Wedding<\/h2>\n<p>There is definitely something to be said about not seeing your bride before the ceremony. It\u2019s really more about the anticipation of the couple seeing each other for the first time than anything else. If you\u2019ve spent all that time on hair and make-up (not to mention the dress) it\u2019s always amazing to get that minute where the groom takes it all in. Personally, I think I\u2019d probably need a private first look. I\u2019m such a blubbery baby that I could flood the aisle.<\/p>\n<h2>The Rings<\/h2>\n<p>Circles are a time honoured metaphor for symbolizing infinity and everlasting, dating back to ancient Egypt and the stone age. As a symbol of eternity, wearing a ring is also public conformation in honour of your union together. For those who don\u2019t love jewelry, we\u2019re kind of fascinated with the idea that tattoos could fill that spot. Especially for those whose occupations make ring wearing a challenge, Tattoos are an equally everlasting symbol for love.<\/p>\n<h2>Holding a Bouquet<\/h2>\n<p>Brides have always carried or worn flowers throughout history on their wedding day. In some cultures, it\u2019s been a symbol of fertility and in others, it has been a way to ward off evil spirits. It\u2019s also fairly obvious that they are a way of adding life and d\u00e9cor to your day. But if flowers aint your thing for whatever reason, by not jazz up your bouquet with paper flowers, pin wheels of fabric flowers? Think about how you\u2019ll be able to reuse them or even pass them down to your kids?<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via Style Me Pretty via <a title=\"Hunter Mcrae Photograohy\" href=\"http:\/\/huntermcraephotography.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hunter Mc Rae<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you\u2019re planning a wedding, the words \u2018It\u2019s a tradition!\u2019 will invariably crop up in various forms.
