Australias Wedding Directory

A wedding is a ceremony that celebrates the beginning of a union between a man and woman. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, religions and countries. In some countries the actual act of marriage begins during the wedding ceremony. In others, the legal act of marriage occurs with the signing of the marriage license or other legal document.

Traditionally weddings contain wedding vows , which are discussed beforehand with the minister, wedding officiant or wedding celebrant, performing the wedding ceremony. Many couples today are choosing to write their own wedding vows. Creating a more personal interpretation of what marriage means to them, expressing their feelings from the heart. Your wedding vows should relate to who you are and what you believe. Their are many wedding vow options to choose from. Your minister, priest, wedding celebrant or marriage officiant will discuss these with you over the weeks prior to your wedding.

Most weddings also involve wearing traditional wedding clothing, the white wedding dress and the mens tuxedo being the most traditional in Australia. Brides have many wedding dress options today. They can buy bridal gowns of the rack, have a dressmaker make a wedding dress for them, or have a one off wedding gown designed just for them for their wedding day. They can even choose from designs that do not look traditional. The symbolism of the wedding dress however still remains the same.

A wedding is often followed or accompanied by a wedding reception. This not only includes a wedding venue, but wedding music and catering. Wedding receptions can be simple small family events or lavish receptions with all the trimmings. Budget plays a big part in the wedding celebration. The wedding reception covers wedding speeches, followed by the traditional bridal waltz, where the bride and groom start of the dancing, with a wedding song especially chosen by them.

The wedding bouquet, or throw away wedding bouquet, is traditionally thrown at the end of the wedding reception. The young lady who catches the bridal bouquet is by traditon, suppose to marry next. This is also the case, when the groom takes the bridal garter in a special display of manhood from the bride, and consequently throws it to all of the single men attending the wedding reception.

A wedding is a special moment that marks the beginning of a new life together. This moment is recognized with traditions, ceremonies and rituals and every culture cherishes their own traditions. When it comes to planning a wedding, people often honor traditions, even if they do not fully understand their origin or meaning.
