Brides and grooms once felt compelled to conform to the trappings of traditional weddings . From uberromantic vows to pastel colors to the penultimate white tiered cake , various wedding components were long considered must-haves . But modern couples are increasingly expressing their individuality and even embracing more edgy and adventurous elements , when planning their weddings .
According to The Knot , a leading bridal resource and information site , today ’ s weddings are not what they were just a few years ago . Bold colors , exotic cakes and nontraditional foliage , are just some of the elements modern couples are embracing to set their weddings apart .
Adventurous locales
Vineyards and catering halls can be great places to tie the knot , but couples who like to push the envelope are looking to more adventurous locales to impart their unique spin on their weddings . Sharing vows atop a mountain crest at the end of a favorite hiking trail or on a roller coaster at a theme park that harkens back to a first date are some adventurous places to tie the knot .
Outside-the-box menus Couples may want to break with tradition by offering a wide selection of foods at their receptions . These foods can include items that fit with their specific ethnic cuisines , gourmet comfort foods ( think cocktail franks wellington ), or foods that fit with their dietary choices , such as organic or vegan options . Work with a caterer to provide a variety of tasty choices .
Bold wardrobe choices
Brides can put new spins on their gowns by adding color and texture . Sequins , bold embroidery , shorter hemlines and whatever adventurous fashion style you want to impart can be considered . If white isn ’ t your thing , that ’ s okay , too . Yellow and slate gray look great together . Gentlemen can choose to wear a black suit or any combination of color and style they want to make a dramatic impression .
Full of flavor
Cakes don ’ t have to be white with white buttercream . In fact , couples can make things even more tasty by incorporating favorite flavor combinations into their cakes . For example , a chocolate and caramel filling reminiscent of a candy bar might be something to consider .
Modern couples are embracing bold , unique and edgy components when planning their weddings . Putting an individualized spin on the ceremony and reception can make couples even more excited to tie the knot .
