Tuesday’s is about traditions. Be it modern American tradition, cultural traditions, or fusion traditions, today is dedicated to discussing part of the Wedding, Ceremony, and Reception. Tuesday’s will feature couples celebrating their weddings and their traditions. The layout will include the layout of the day, location, and all the cultural elements, such as Henna Party, the signing of the Ketubah, Sangeet, Rope Ceremony, Pinning the Veil, Seven Steps, Dancing in the Hog Trough, etc.
If you are a bride to be or a newlywed and would like to share your upcoming or recent ceremony and reception traditions, we’d love to hear from you. Send your submissions to be featured to submission@fullcircleeventi.com. Please include pictures (especially any that feature the tradition), and a short write up on the day layout, where the ceremony and reception took place, and a list of the cultural traditions you implemented. We’d love to hear from you and feature you in one of our upcoming posts.

For today, we’re featuring a great replacement for the bridal bouquet toss. I’ve seen some nasty fights in my days, could be called a true cat fight to win the bouquet. At one recent wedding, I would have called a personal foul on one of the guest in any basketball court (over the back). But she held on for dear life. In fact both of them did.
Do you want to incorporate a fun, non-humiliating, find-out-who-will-marry-next tradition into your wedding? Do you dread standing up with other girls while the DJ plays Single Ladies or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun for the traditional and often humiliating bouquet toss?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, I have a great idea for you.
Instead of tossing a bouquet and subjecting their girlfriends to bodily harm, Turkish brides use shoes. No we are not tossing shoes instead of flowers. Before the ceremony, the single women autograph the sole of the bride’s wedding shoe. You can do this with just your bridesmaids or you can include it as an activity at your bridal showers, After the shoes have made their way down the aisle and danced the night away, Turkish legend has it that the person whose name has faded the least will be the next to marry.
Just one more reason to enjoy dancing the night away!
