8 Wedding Traditions You Can Break

Here is our list of wedding traditions that can be sidelined.

1. Old-School Rule: Brides must wear a long, white gown.

The New Twist: Wear whatever you want. Yes, we know the long white gown is everyone’s dream but you can be different as long as you’re comfortable in it.

2. Old-School Rule: You can only have two wedding colours.

The New Twist: Your palette can have as many (or as few) colours as you want. The trick is to make sure they work together by using multiple neutrals or colors in the same family of shades (think: pink, orange and yellow, or a palette of white, cream and blush).

3. Old-School Rule: The ceremony program has to be formal.

The New Twist: Programs should include important info, like who's in the bridal party and the meaning behind your cultural traditions, but that doesn't mean you can't have a bit of fun with the design. Turn your programs into a playful Mad Lib, crossword puzzle with clues about your relationship or even make fortune-tellers with fun facts about your childhood or even something as functional as a fan. Guests will love the idea, and they'll appreciate having something to do while they wait for the ceremony to start.

4. Old-School Rule: Bridesmaids are female and groomsmen are male.

The New Twist: I love this idea. Don't confine your list of VIPs to your female friends (and vice versa for grooms). If your best friend in the world happens to be a guy, make him your bridesman, or a groom can ask his good friend to be a groomswoman (if there’s anything like that). Coordinate their looks with the rest of the party with accessories like a colorful bow tie or sash.

5. Old-School Rule: You can't see each other before the ceremony.

The New Twist: This superstition has long been proven false, so there's really nothing stopping you if you don't want to wait until your walk down the aisle to see one another. Schedule a first-look photo shoot (you and your fiancé meet with just the photographer before the ceremony), say some words of prayer together or just do some check ups together.

6. Old-School Rule: Your bridesmaids should wear matching dresses.

The New Twist: Let your girls' individual personalities shine by having each one pick a dress that suits her own taste and figure. The trick to pulling off the mismatched look is to have one cohesive element, like the same fabric, color or length. Or let them personalize their look with accessories, like funky jewelry, boleros or patterned tights, you can also set the limits.

7. Old-School Rule: Ceremony seating is based on a bride’s side and groom’s side.

The New Twist: It used to be that guests of the bride sat on the left and guests of the groom on the right. Even now, plenty of your guests will go by this guideline. But if your partner’s family is huge and yours is tiny, your ceremony will look a little weird if most people are seated on one side. If you’re having ushers, ask them to direct your VIPs, grandparents, aunts, uncles and the like to prime seats toward the front of either side and instruct your other guests to sit in any open seat. No ushers? No problem. Place a sign in the area and have it read something like, "Choose a seat, not a side—we’re all family once the knot is tied."

8. Old-School Rule: Wedding ceremonies take place in religious institutions.

The New Twist: If you grew up attending worship services and have always dreamed of walking down that aisle, then this is not for you. Otherwise, pick a ceremony venue that's meaningful to the both of you. It can be anywhere: a park, backyard, an old theater or anywhere you’re comfortable with. Just check with your officiant ahead of time to make sure they're comfortable with marrying you outside of a religious space, it doesn’t look bad as it sounds… or does it?

24 Maid of Honour Duties you should know.

You just got an invite to be the maid of honour and you’re wondering what to do? Don't worry, we've got your job description, sit back and have a good read.

The maid/matron of honor is part worker bee, part emotional lifeboat. Chosen for your energetic, get-the-ball-in-motion qualities, you should also remember that listening to the bride, making her laugh, and offering emotional and logistical support are also part of your honor attendant package. Here's what's expected:

- Lead the bridesmaid troupe. It's the maid/matron of honor's (MOH) job to direct the other maids through their duties. Make sure everyone gets their bridesmaid dresses, go to dress fittings, and find the right jewelry. Also provide them with the necessary information on all prewedding parties.

- Help shop for dresses (the bride's and the bridesmaids'). And the MOH pays for her own entire wedding outfit (including shoes).

- Offer to help the bride with prewedding tasks, from addressing invites to choosing the wedding colors.

- Spread the news about where the bride and groom are getting married (location)

- Help the bride change for her honeymoon and take charge of her gown after the ceremony. Arrange for storage in a safe place until she returns.

- Lend an ear. Whether it's about the planning, the marriage, or the registry patterns, the MOH should assure the bride that she has someone with whom she can share her thoughts. Even if she seems to dwell on the same subjects repeatedly, the MOH keeps listening.

- Host or cohost a bridal shower for the bride.

- Attend all prewedding parties.

- Keep a record of all the gifts received at various parties and showers (or delegate a bridesmaid to handle this).

- Plan the bachelorette party with the bridesmaids.

- See to it that all bridesmaids get to the rehearsal; coordinate transportation and lodging, if necessary.

- Make sure that all bridesmaids get their hair and makeup done, get to the ceremony on time, and have the correct bouquets.

- Hold the groom's ring during the ceremony. Safest place to put it? On your thumb.

- Arrange the bride's train and veil before the ceremony begins and just after she arrives at the altar. The MOH might also need to help her bustle the train for easy dancing at the reception.

- Hold the bride's bouquet while the couple exchanges vows.

- Sign the marriage license as a witness, along with the best man.

- Stand next to the groom in the receiving line (this is optional; the bride may decide to have attendants circulate among the guests instead).

- Play hostess along with the other bridesmaids at frequent points during the reception: show guests where to sit, direct them to restrooms, tell them to where to put presents, invite them to sign the guest book, etc.

- Collect any gift envelopes brought to the reception and keep them in a safe place.

- Make sure the bride takes a moment to eat something -- refresh her drink, get her a plate of food from the buffet table, or instruct the wait staff to keep her entree warm.

- Dance with the best man during the formal first-dance sequence and possibly be announced with him at the beginning of the party. Also dance with other groomsmen, the groom, and others throughout the musical entertainment.

- Toast the couple after the best man. (This is optional, but it is a nice touch.)

- Troubleshoot emotional crises. In most cases, this will require lots of tissues, hugging, and hair-smoothing. The MOH continues to be a trusted friend, a good listener, and a smart advisor.

- Keep the bride laughing. For the stressed-out bride, laughter can be as effective as venting.

This sounds hectic hun?😐
