The modern bride is deeply in touch with her personal style and won’t hesitate to throw tradition out the window in favor of personalization. She might choose a colorful wedding dress or a sleek bridal jumpsuit, a cannoli cart instead of a cake, maybe even a dapper flower man slinging blooms as he bops down the aisle, instead of the typical teetering tot with a basket of petals.
A modern wedding is all about fun and freshness. The sky’s the limit for venue — sometimes literally, if the lovebirds are skydiving enthusiasts or hot air balloon lovers. Modern brides also love a location with an activity, like a fairground with a gorgeous carousel or a zoo where a penguin attends cocktail hour. Anything is possible for a modern bride’s jewelry. Her dream ring might have vibrant colored gems, especially with unusual stone
shapes and color combinations. She might also go for the cutting-edge technology of lab-grown diamonds, perhaps a gorgeous elongated marquise cut stone in an edgy east-west setting. Or she might decide to find a “man-gagement” ring to propose back to her partner — or even be the first to pop the question herself. One thing’s for sure, the modern bride will get exactly the ring she wants, regardless of anyone’s expectations.
