Let’s face it weddings are not what they used to be according to tradition….of course there is nothing wrong with having a traditional wedding, but these days many brides are looking for something different…..something to stand out!

A Non Traditional Bride may wear a colored gown, carry feathers, opt for donations instead of favors, forgo Cake for a dessert buffet etc…
