4 Wedding Types That Are Culturally Important Right Now
As more and more people become aware of the cultural impact of modern life on our own lives, we are seeing a large shift in weddings. The big, loud, and wasteful weddings are a thing of the past. Sure you’ll get a few that still want to have a big bash, but many of us are wondering, whether we should. If we aren’t having a sustainable wedding, should we feel good about it? If we aren’t culturally sensitive to our nations, should we be as joyful about our special day? What about the people who can’t afford a room to sleep in, let alone a wedding? All of these questions matter in the modern world.
Importance to roots
Many people feel that getting in touch with your roots when it comes to weddings is very important. We couldn’t agree more. No matter who you are, no matter where you are from, you should stay true to your roots if you want to. So if your ancestry is from Nigeria, have a Nigerian wedding! If you are from England, have a traditional British wedding! If you are from Japan, have a classic Nipon wedding! It’s very important to feel like you are attached to your roots, especially for your big day.
Sustainable wedding
Perhaps the most popular wedding type right now, is the sustainable wedding. There are tons of eco wedding trends that you could implement into your own wedding. First off, check out the sustainable wedding dresses and men’s longtail suits. Made from appropriately sourced wool, cotton, or linen, these kinds of wedding clothes are made in sustainable factories that pay their workers properly and have good working conditions. The catering can be vegan as this will be your bit to help animals and lower the methane gas in the environment. And perhaps the most important is choosing a local wedding venue. Don’t fly off to Paris, adding to the pollution. Help a local business owner out!
Rustic weddings
Much like the eco wedding, the rustic wedding is very popular because it gives back to nature, or at least, doesn’t take from it. Weddings in very rustic areas are always very beautiful and down to earth. This type of wedding will also help local businesses as the only services that are close by, will be smaller businesses who do catering, providing waiting staff and services like the transport. Local wedding venues like barns and churches will also be supported by your wedding, helping them to keep ticking over.
Older manors
Helping out the local manor or mansion owner could help parts of the older world live on. It’s especially true for old English country manors that need financial support to carry ongoing. Having a wedding party in an old manor is incredibly enticing as you might be sat in a building that is hundreds of years old with so much history.
These types of weddings are going to be very culturally important this year. People want to support their roots and they also want to help the environment on their special day.
