Wedding Wednesdays with weddingsonline – Details, episodes & analysis

Wedding traditions aren’t for everyone. In fact, if you are feminist, a modern couple or same-sex, some of these traditions simply won’t work.

So in today’s episode, I’m breaking down 7 wedding traditions, why we do them and what you could do instead. If any of these traditions give you the ick, you can just ditch them.

Note: if you embrace any of these traditions (I did!), no judgement here either. Your wedding, your way.

There are a few steps to finding the perfect wedding dress! From understanding your silhouette to having a realistic wedding dress shopping timeline and everything in between, we’re covering it in this week’s podcast episode.
