Weddings at London Fashion Week 2008

This week’s London Fashion Week saw Agnness Deyn strutting down the catwalk in House of Holland’s unique tiered tartan wedding dress.  Her accessories were a pair of tartan antlers, a tartan eyepatch all brought together with a bridal veil.

The look was certainly haute couture but if you’re not feeling so brave (and Scottish!) then here is a run down of the latest trends for 2009’s stunning brides.

Pre-raphaelite brides will love Alice Temperley’s reliably quintessentially English collection with ruffles everywhere! The grecian goddess is also continuing into Spring 2009 with long, flowing empire line waists ideal for tall and slender woman. Finally, the mini-skirt wedding dress! If you’ve been working on those pins then now is the time to get them on display. If mini is too daring why not opt for Oscar de la Renta’s mid length as seen earlier this year on the catwalk, its retro cuteness brings sexy brides to a whole new level!

The basics of any wedding ceremony

The Wedding Ceremony

Though some of the traditional wedding ceremony is still being used in many weddings, there are new customs and traditions that are being invented to suit the new way people are relating and even meeting. The world has changed very much since weddings became what they are, and this means the those ceremonies have to change with the times. Though there are some who stick to the traditional wedding in every way, many are making adjustments, whether they are large or small, to fit what they think a marriage should be.

One common change to the wedding ceremony is to change the vows. When I married, our minister gave us a selection of vows from which to choose, and also told us that we were welcome to read our own if we wished. Since we both thought we would not like to read ours, even though it would be neat to write them, we decided to go with some traditional vows. We did, however, made some modifications. Our first modification to the vows was that the word ëobeyí would not be included. The thought of obeying each other was funny to each of us.

Some people are altering their wedding ceremony to include any children that may be involved. Some have their children in the wedding as flower girls, bridesmaids, ushers, or groomsmen. Others turn their wedding ceremony into a family union ceremony. This is always a brilliant idea, as the children feel that they are being joined in the new family and they feel important and loved. Though not everyone chooses to do this for various reasons, it is becoming more popular.

The basics of any wedding ceremony remain the same however. Most couples make vows and exchange rings with each other. Other than that, what a couple wants to do is up to them. Come faiths will not allow such changes, but many will. The ceremony should reflect the life of the couple, and should be something they will cherish forever. The wedding ceremony should not be built to please the guests, but rather to please the couple. However, it is always a nice touch to keep the guests comfort in mind while planning. They will love you for it. Though people are always honored to be invited to a wedding, some brides and grooms donít think about them while planning, they sometimes they end up having a very miserable time due to long length of ceremony or time between ceremony and reception.
