People have been getting married for centuries and, as such, certain codes of conduct have materialized: rules, etiquette, traditions, etc. to give couples guiding principles and a template to plan out one of the most important life events. Not going to lie, there are some mainstays that we wouldn’t be opposed to keeping around for all-time: for instance, an engagement ring or any piece of proposal jewelry - diamonds or gems of any kind work just fine as a prop for a VIQ (very important question). For the most part, though, it’s 2021 and the only real requisite that a couple should follow for their wedding is to keep their love intact and to plan something that’s completely representative of their relationship and everything that means the most to them.

We thought it might be fun to provide a run down of some of the biggest wed-iquette (that’s wedding etiquette, FYI!) considerations and then sound off on Style Me Pretty’s modern iteration. If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably already know that we’re huge proponents of personalization and details so delightful they add the perfect dose of pretty to your party. So, when wedding ‘rules’ are concerned, we say go ahead and break them, it’s your day, you do you!!
