If tradition is important to you, you will probably try and incorporate as much of it as you can into your wedding day. Traditions help to create imperishable memories which will make your wedding day one you can share with everyone around you.

One of the most perfect settings for a traditional wedding is a Gauteng wedding venue. Gauteng offers some of the most beautiful, professional and tradition-savvy venues which will help you make your wedding day absolutely unique and perfect.

Be sure to tell the venue staff or coordinators of the traditions you plan to implement during your wedding ceremony and reception.

Something New, Something Borrowed And Something Blue

Most of us get exposed to this tradition by watching soppy girl flicks. But wearing something blue, borrowed and new happens in real life as well. Most brides choose to add as much luck as possible to their weddings and this tradition makes the experience of being a bride a lot more personal and fun.

Preferably the things you add to your look on your wedding day should come from those close to you like your mother, best friends and siblings; the items given are usually things that were worn on their wedding days as well.

The Father Daughter Dance

This dance is a way of paying tribute to the man who reared you into the woman you are, and the beautiful woman you will be on your wedding day.

While some brides choose not to have a father-daughter dance you will greatly benefit from giving your dad a special place in your big day.

Throwing The Bouquet

This is a very old and popular tradition that needs no kind of explaining. The problem that does arise with the bouquet tossing though is that brides spend so much money and time on designing their bouquets; they find it extremely painful to simply throw it to someone else.

This problem can easily be solved by using one of your bridesmaid’s bouquets, or simply making another smaller bouquet to throw into the eager hands of the unmarried ladies.

The Garter

Having your new husband put his hand under your dress and removing an item of clothing might seem a little risky and embarrassing but it actually creates a fun and humorous atmosphere at the reception. You can expect a lot of whistles, jokes and laughter which will be another fun filled memory you can stick down into your wedding album.

Cutting The Cake

The tradition of the bride and groom cutting the cake and smearing it all over each other’s faces probably leaves you filled with horror as you picture your perfectly applied make-up and hair covered in chocolate icing.

Luckily very few couples actually choose to go down the messy route. Just cutting the cake is enough, but if you want you can feed each other a small piece without having your whole face covered.

Incorporating tradition into your wedding will help create an atmosphere of unity, understanding and history which can be shared between you and all of the guests you chose to be a part of your special day.
