Welcome brides, grooms, and future wedding guests I’m Harmonie Krieger your host for nuptialstv.com your video guide to planning your wedding and beyond. On this edition of Nuptialstv we will be covering planning the perfect wedding ceremony: traditional vs. the non-traditional.
Congratulations your getting married now what’s the next step? One of the first decisions, in planning the perfect wedding, is which type of wedding ceremony to have, traditional or non-traditional.
The perfect wedding exists in the minds and hearts of the bride and groom. Planning a wedding, a perfect wedding, requires the bride and groom to communicate their love, their expectations, and their customs into one single ceremony. There are many twists and turns on the road to planning for that perfect wedding. It’s important to understand that the style of ceremony will dictate different types of customs to be followed. There are expectations associated with each one and it’s up to the bridal couple to help narrow the field down.
A religious ceremony is considered a traditional wedding. It will take place in a house of worship such as a church or synagogue. It would be officiated by a rabbi, a minister or member of the clergy. Traditional religious ceremonies usually call for formal wear with a number of attendants and very traditional music.
Civil or non-traditional ceremonies can be held anywhere such as on board a yacht, on a cliff top, on a beach or even in a family backyard. The officiate is a Justice of the Peace (including relatives or friends who have been certified). There is no set theme for a civil or non-traditional ceremony. Bridal couples can wear beach clothing, Halloween Costumes or even get married on horseback.
The differences between the two are the rigidity of form associated with the first and the freedom with the second. The bridal couple will determine what their priorities are and the type of ceremony they want to have. Familiarity with traditional themes and ceremonies are important when dealing with religious weddings. A sense of adventure and fun can be explored in civil and non-traditional weddings.
Become aware of the wide variety of options available to couples in their wedding choices. The key to planning the perfect wedding is found in truly listening to each other. Be open to hearing each other’s thoughts, dreams and expectations.

I have plans to have a wedding reception (due to budgeting) at my church but the only thing is that I have know idea on the type of entertainment to provide. There is absolutely no alcohol and dancing at my church so what exactly is there to do besides toasting, speeches, and cake cutting? Please help!
I don’t think you need to provide entertainment. or anything. Just keep the reception to about 2-3 hours… Will you be serving a meal? If so, go with 3 hours. If not, then 2. Can you at least have background music? If you can, then do.
Arrange the reception hall in a way so that people will not just sit down the whole time.. they need to get up and mingle! Set up a table with punch, desserts or nuts so that people have to get up and go to it. Have a table with pictures of you and your fiance, or pictures from you and your fiance’s parents weddings. You could have a slideshow too.
People will be content to visit with the newlyweds and each other, but only for so long. You can definitely still have a nice reception.. if you keep it 2-3 hours, I don’t think that people will really even notice that there is no dancing. But if you drag it out, they’ll start to wonder if there’s going to be anything more. Good luck!
Alternatives to a traditional bridal bouquet toss include doing a “make a wish” bouquet toss, a fortune bouquet toss or a favor bouquet toss, all including both single and married women.
