The Knot

Indians truly believe in holding to their roots when it comes to planning out a wedding. We tend to stick to our traditions and rituals for finalizing the ceremonies and functions. But the couples of contemporary India are willing to take risks. They don’t want their wedding served to them on a silver platter, rather they take matters in their own hands while deciding on the wedding ceremonies and customs and rituals. Not only in India but globally too, people have started making their own customs and rituals for their own personalized wedding ceremonies. Wedding Affair recommends adding new rituals to make your wedding a more personalised affair. Here are a few modern customs that you can incorporate in your wedding too –

A Green Wedding

A lot of people have grown aware of the environment these days. Hence, eco-friendly weddings have become a trend! Couples send out saplings with their wedding invites. Others plant a tree together to mark the auspicious beginning by a beginning a new life, of that of a sapling. Green is the new decoration trend, gifting trend, and lifestyle trend of the season! Hence, we recommend you to go green as well. As weddings become more and more close-knit owing to the pandemic, hence making trees and plants a part of your wedding only refines it.

Digitization Of Rituals

Often people send out digital invites, which again is a green way of living. Even during other wedding ceremonies, people have been using technology such as drones and screens to narrate the love stories of the couples getting married. Therefore, it won’t be wrong to say that there is no wedding without digital rituals. Now, due to the global pandemic, entire ceremonies are being conducted over zoom calls. Hence, digital wedding rituals also make for a fun affair. You can set up a participative digital environment for everyone to enjoy the wedding to their core.

Writing Your Own Vows

This is an interesting concept that has gained much more popularity in western countries. These days, couples mark their new beginnings, not by making the mundane promises that everybody makes, but by jotting down their own promises for each other. By writing their own vows, the couples make it as personal as possible. These vows can be engraved in their wedding decorations as well. This makes it even more personal than ever before. The wedding themes can also oftentimes revolve around the personalised vows for a super fun wedding scenario.

Pets In Rituals

These days, people have become more conscious about their pets and animals in general. They don’t shy away from showing some pet love in their weddings too. They adopt new pets and promise on becoming new parents for their existing pets in their wedding rituals. Hence, starting your happily married life by adopting pets or becoming new parents of the pets is also an amazing ritual.
