Heirloom Wedding Traditions

Heirloom traditions are special. Wear your mother's or grandmother's wedding dress. Wear a piece of their jewelry. Use their veil. Use their wedding rings or have the rings melted down to form a new band. Use a family Bible for your ceremony readings. Carry a family photo in your bouquet. Use your parent's cake knife or champagne flutes. Incorporate a family prayer or reading into your ceremony. Play your parents' first dance song. Display photos of family members who have passed on a memory table. Ask a father figure to walk you down the aisle. The most important thing is to talk to your family. Understand the history behind the tradition.
