Looking to break some rules on your wedding day? Here are five ideas to try out.
1. Circulary ceremonies
Having an outdoor wedding? Instead of lining up chairs in a traditional format, think about having your guests circle around you—it makes the experience more intimate.

2. Bridesmen and groomsmaids
Is your best bud a guy? Many modern weddings are opting for mixed-gender attendants instead of the traditional split along the aisle.

3. brunch
Are you more of a morning person? Host a brunch with mimosas instead of an evening reception.

5. Here comes the bride
You don’t have to walk down the aisle to Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” or Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus.” Personalize your entrance, surprise your groom, and leave a lasting impression on everyone.
