Adding a bit of your heritage to celebration, is a great way to add meaning to the importance of this event. In this article you can find some favorites of my cultural traditions and methods concerning how to involve them in your wedding day.




Elaborate henna designs that are synonymous with traditional Indian bride. In ancient times, people do not wear jewelry on their wedding so the brides were decorating their hands with henna. Today, henna art incorporated in the wedding, means both beauty and tradition. You can transform this in a funny activity for the party organized for the bride or for the bachelor party but the version for girls.

Give yourself the royal treatment, including elephants in the theme – they often express wealthy and royalty in India. Expose-like holders for cards and gifts mini elephants, elephants on canvas, painted in red (symbolizing fertility) and white (representing purity).

You can make a list with your favorite rituals and traditions and pick one after that. You can’t make a country wedding planning list in New York, because it is a big city where there is no country side.

Give more responsibility to the groomsman in the wedding day. Traditionally in Italy, he was cutting his knot tie in small pieces, and then these were sold like souvenirs to the guests. On historical plan, this thing was made for helping at the increasing of revenue, viewing the wedding payment. But you can choose to ask your groomsman to forward them, when the guests are leaving.

Drink! Italian traditional culture, the groomsman hold a tray with two different liqueurs and greet guests at the reception entrance. To prepare a large toast, offer a sweet drink to the ladies and for men give some rather hard, like bourbon or whiskey. Ask the maid of honor and best man to offer signature drinks with the people present at the beginning of cocktail hour.

Choose a date and a lucky time. Traditionally, Chinese couples listen the gambling predictors, take into account the advice of experts in feng-shui and Chinese calendar (and sometimes their day of birth) to determine the perfect day you will say “Yes, I do.” Must keep in mind to get married in one day and one month that has a pair number, this is for luck too. It is also good-omen to be married in the first half an hour to start new life in the “ascent”, like the minute hand on the clock.

Be the host of a tea party. Tea ceremony is a formal rite of passage, held after the ceremony, or sometimes the next day. Traditionally, couples serve tea to the groom’s family, starting with the groom’s parents, then with the other guests, from the oldest to youngest.

All this traditions have their meanings. You are free to choose whatever you think is best for your wedding. We leave in a free country, after all.
