How To Include Family Traditions Into Your Wedding: Wedding Wednesday

Weddings are not just about two people coming together. They are also about families, history, and traditions. Incorporating meaningful traditions can make your celebration even more personal and emotional.

Below are some ways to include family traditions into your wedding.

Wear A Family Heirloom

Jewelry or accessories passed down through generations can add meaningful symbolism. Your grandmother's ring, your mother's veil, your dad's cufflinks, your grandfather's watch, these can all be meaningful details to include into your day.

Honor Loved Ones

Displaying photos or including small tributes throughout your wedding can help honor family members who cannot be present.

Include Cultural Traditions

Many couples incorporate cultural rituals into their wedding that reflect their heritage. Jumping a broom, smashing a glass, braiding a cord of three strands, giving flowers to Mary, etc are just a few traditions that you can include in.

Family Dances

Having a special dance with your parents or grandparents can be a great way to honor the ones your love and create an emotional moment.

Meaningful Readings

Including meaning poems, letters, or scripture readings can add depth to your ceremony.
