5 wedding trends in Toronto with traditional roots

 Couples paying for their wedding is on the rise. Toronto wedding traditions have taken a twist. While not ignoring the traditions, some have made some significant changes to make them into trends.

1. The Dress

Traditionally, the bride wore a white dress for their wedding. This tradition stems from Queen Victoria, who wore white lace to her wedding to show off the Honiton lace produced in England.  Then copied by the wealthier classes and then trickled down to all economic levels and became a tradition.

In more recent years, there’s been a considerable rise in brides changing the dress they wear from a traditional white gown to other outfits. White pantsuits still have the white from tradition but are not nearly as heavy. Coloured gowns that are still big and beautiful stand out and make the wedding their own. Or wearing a white dress with a pop of colour includes both their favourite colours and the traditional white.

2. Wedding Decoration Trends in Toronto

Wedding decor has roots in different cultures. Some started as lucky charms for the marriage, and some were to bring honour religion in their wedding.

Morden weddings aim to be more about the couple than tradition while wedding colours stand out more than before a lot of couples chose the DIY route for their wedding decorations. Doing it yourself allows a lot more creative freedom, and the ability to personalize the decor. Certain types of rentals are on the rise as well. Our customizable flower walls rentals in Toronto are trendy at weddings, along with our light-up marquees rentals in Toronto are the latest trend.

The decor has become more DIY and straightforward; there has been a shift in focus to experience-based weddings—the emphasis on entertainment for guests.

3. The Traditional First Dance

This tradition comes from the days of Kings and Queen’s hosting balls. The first dance started a social event. The first dance honour is to the person of highest social standing, usually the king and queen, but sometimes a duke or lady depending on the event and who was attending.

The first dance is still a widely done tradition as it starts the dancing part of the evening.  Couples have recently opted to put on spectacles by doing choreographed dances in the spirit of creating an experience for guests instead of doing a traditional slow dance.

4. Toronto Wedding Trends and the traditional wedding invite

Of course, it’s still a tradition to invite people to your wedding.  However, paper invites are slowly decreasing. There are many reasons why traditional paper invitations disappear, whether it be cost-efficient or eco friendly or something in between. Having an online registration for your guests is the easiest way to manage your guests.   With a link to your confirmation, you can send it to your guests through email, social media or even text if you need it.

Having a digital platform for your guests to confirm attendance allows you to keep track of who’s going and who hasn’t responded. Gone are the days of mail getting lost and calling people to find out if they had returned. And the days of getting a response card with no name, so you don’t know who confirmed. Some guests who aren’t tech-savvy might ask for a physical copy of the invite, which can easily be printed off and mailed.

5. Wedding photos, A Toronto wedding tradition and now a trend

Wedding albums were typical at weddings to have it photographed by a professional, and then the couple was given the photos like a document of their day so they could show people who could not attend. Photos were expensive, so the only photos taken are of the bride and groom.

Social media is a game-changer for weddings. Social media acts like a digital wedding album you can share with the world. By having Snapchat filters and Instagram hashtags, people can add their pictures and videos to your digital wedding album.  Still getting photos done by a professional, they focus on not just the bride and groom the event as a whole. With our magic Mirror Photobooth, all Photos can be emailed to you so you can upload them right away.
 

If change and trends aren’t your thing it’s okay to keep the wedding very traditional. Trends come from taking tradition and adding a twist to make it more personal to your event. Traditions can be fun but make sure you aren’t stressing. The day is about what you and your spouse want.
