Non-Traditional Weddings
It's wedding season and many brides and grooms are ignoring tradition to put their personal signatures on the big day.
In The Early Show’s "Christy's Corner," Christy Ferer has the details on happy couples who are doing things differently.
With many guys and gals getting hitched at an older age and footing the bill themselves, it's not surprising to find them choosing salsa over Sinatra or flipping over waffles, rather than filet mignon.
Whatever your preference, party vendors say the buzz word in weddings isn't "I do" it's "Hey, why not?"
Jewelry:
To keep with the fun-and-fresh theme, many brides are looking to re-invent traditional pearls, so they're custom designing jewelry for their attendants.
"If they want something really sexy and bold or something delicate and feminine, I can help them take their visualization and make it real. And then the jewelry becomes a great gift to give to your bridesmaids afterwards," says Femmegems designer, Lindsay Cain. Brides are requesting everything from aquamarine to turquoise, she adds.
Bridesmaid Dress: Always a bridesmaid, but never a good dress?
Well, alternative boutiques are tossing out taffeta and offering cocktail-inspired numbers with serious wear-again potential. "If you want polka dots, you can have polka dots; if you want bright orange, you can have bright orange; if you want mini dresses, you can have mini dresses, there's no book of rules anymore," says Beth Blake, co-owner of Threads.
