10 ways to defy tradition

Want to give your wedding an oh-so-you vibe? Then throw in a few unexpected twists on tradition!

1. THE DRESS

THEY EXPECT A FIIIED WHIIE NUMBER TOPPED WITH A SHEER VEIL
If you hate wearing white or just want to turn some heads, for get the classic A-line dress and go for something totally unique. Bridal fashion

Is all about having fun with your look and this season’s catwalks are awash with floral dresses, ultra-low backs, quirky two pieces and

jumpsuits that exude city cool. Too daring? Why not choose a more traditional dress and inject some personality with your accessories-think

coloured heels, a bespoke embroidered veil or even a personalised leather jacket.

2. THE BRIDESMAIDS

THEY EXPECT THREE OF YOUR BESTIES IN MATCHING DRESSES 
SURPRISE THEM! If you love doing things differently, bridesmaids all in white look super chic channelled by Kate Moss and Solange Knowles.

Or you could ask your maids to choose their own dresses in contrasting colours. 

3. THE FOOD

THEY EXPECT A FORMAL, SIT-DOWN, THREE-COURSE MEAL 
SURPRISE THEM! While we love (nay, adore) a good old traditional wedding _ breakfast, it can be pricey, so if you want to save money and

try something | different, why not treat guests to a BBQ, i wood-fired pizzas or even some local 1 seafood served from a van If your wedding

is later in the day, try an ice cream cart on arrival , followed by a hearty, late-night treat in the form of fish and chips, gourmet burgers or a

doughnut bar. For your cake, make it all about you with hand-painted details, a quirky topper or a themed design around something you both

love.
