The Modern Wedding For the Modern Filipino Couple
Whoever said that weddings always need to follow Filipino wedding customs. Philippine Weddings need not be traditional. There are several wedding touches that a couple can do to spice up their wedding and provide a greater feeling of enjoyment not only to the newlyweds but also for the guests.
Long gowns are still popular, yet, most couples prefer floor-length gowns yet shorter than the traditional. Many brides have complained in the past that their wedding dresses are so long that they feel uneasy walking for the best day of their lives.
Jewelries need not be diamonds. In the modern age, especially jewelries cost a bit over the budget, we can replace diamonds with zircon, ruby, or other cheaper alternatives. Replacing gold with silver may also be a good option.
Instead of pinning the bouquet together, it is much advisable to just tie the bundle of flowers with a ribbon. In this case, the flowers not only look a bit classier but it saves the bride in a pin-piercing accident as well.
In reception decorations, we formerly look for balance in decorating. Now, different sizes of decorations and a bit of “uncoordinated” look in the decorations take the people’s interest. Also, having bars in weddings for champagne, ice cream, fruits, and other consumables besides the buffet table gives a better impression to the guests.
Wedding Locations like beaches, churches, mansions, gardens, and others are still a popular choice for Filipino couples in celebrating their marriage. However, some people decide to marry on extremely weird places like a forest for a “green wedding”.
