Traditional Weddings
What is a Traditional Wedding?
Weddings, traditionally, are very formal and elegant affairs. Typically the event is black tie, everyone is dressed in his or her best, and the location, food and decor are top shelf. Traditionally it would not be a DJ spinning records and providing the music, instead however; the sound of a big band would fill the room along with possibly a string orchestra for subtle background music most typically while your guests are dining.
Where would I have a Traditional Wedding?
The venue site should be elegant, with a dramatic yet glamorous feel to it. A venue with high ceilings and lots of marble and granite adds to the grand feel of the venue, some venues around New York to check out are Russo’s on the Bay, The Inn at New Hyde Park, The Venetian in Garfield New Jersey, or of course the legendary Oheka Castle.
What are some ideas for having a Traditional Wedding?
Invitations are your guest’s first glimpse of your elegant affair, and are the first official piece of the puzzle that gives them a taste of what’s to come. Invitations should be done tastefully, with white or ivory paper and black ink, written in the art of calligraphy. This is the most traditional form of invitation it being both elegant and artistic this method still holds up today, and will more than likely impress everyone that you invite to your special day.
For you and your significant other to get into the celebratory mood, a night out should be planned in order to fully admire your impending union evening. Dressing your best, and going out to a renowned establishment for drinks, only ordering cocktails such as martinis, gimlets, and cosmopolitans to fully understand the stem of traditional elegance. This is done in order to observe and celebrate your upcoming marriage as traditionally during the day of imbibing too many cocktails is frowned upon and can potentially ruin the day.
You want to have a traditional wedding with a big band and string orchestra but you have no idea how to dance? No problem! You can go to almost any local dance studio for some pointers on how to Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, and maybe even Pasodoble. In just six sessions you can learn the moves for about 3 ballroom style dances and completely shock everyone at the venue.
Is there anything else needed for a Traditional Style Wedding?
Well of course when the night comes to an end you are going to have to get to your next destination somehow, to finish off the night one should acquire a chauffeur driven antique Rolls Royce or another antique of equal status or relevance, these vehicles are ideal for the traditional look you and your spouse have established for your traditional wedding. Nothing impresses more than a handsome car picking up the newlyweds to drive them away from their friends and family to start a new chapter in their lives together.
