Honoring Cross-Cultural Wedding Customs - PRLog (free press release)

PR Log (Press Release)May 31, 2010 – Planning a wedding can be challenging under any circumstances, but it is even more tricky when the bride and groom come from different backgrounds. It is important to find a middle ground that honor the customs of both families without making one family feel disrespected. Here are some tips on how to find that perfect balance and blend of wedding traditions.

The most important thing when trying to honor two different cultures is to avoid offending one family or the other. This may mean omitting something that your family believes is always part of a wedding, because it would be too upsetting to the other family. For instance, in American wedding ceremonies, it is customary to end with, "You may now kiss the bride". Did you know, though, that in certain Muslim countries it is considered disrespectful for a man and a woman to kiss on the mouth in public, even if they are married? This is one of those instances where it would be better to omit an expected part of the ceremony to avoid offending one of the newlywed's families.

In America, it has long been a custom that the groom should not see the bride in her wedding gown, veil, and jewelry on the morning of the wedding, as it is bad luck. In Russia, on the other hand, there is a whole elaborate ritual before the ceremony that involves the groom showing up at the bride's home and passing through a series of funny challenges before he is allowed access to her. When the groom finally does make it through all of the riddles and feats set before him, he is permitted to see his bride and escort her to the ceremony, fully attired in her wedding jewelry, gown, etc. In a case like this one, the choice of which cultural custom to follow should be made based on which person feels more strongly about their country's wedding tradition.

Food is a very important part of wedding celebrations around the world, and it offers a wonderful opportunity to honor both the bride and the groom's heritage. Feel free to combine diverse cuisines and to offer dishes from both families even if they do not necessarily "go" together. An easy way to do this is by having stations at the reception instead of a seated dinner. You can have food from the bride's culture, the groom's culture, and even some shared favorites of the couple. This is a great solution, because not only will both families be pleased with the food choices, but it is a chance for each side to learn something about the cuisine of the other.

There certainly will be times when one side of the family is just going to have to live with some minor annoyance caused by the other family. In certain parts of the country, for example, it is still considered to be rude to wear black to a wedding. However, if the groom's family all hails from New York City, there is likely to be a sea of black on his side of the church at the ceremony. This is the type of thing that is not intended as a slight, and that needs to be forgotten about for the sake of harmony.

When each side is willing to learn and to compromise, it is much easier to plan a wedding that honors the customs from both the bride and the groom's families. When all parties feel that their traditions are being respected.

Wedding expo suggests something green - Orange County Register

LAGUNA BEACH Something borrowed and something blue might be traditional, but jewelry designer Renee Pawele wants brides to think about something green.

Wedding vendors who incorporate green or socially conscious materials and labor practices came together at Hotel Seven4one in Laguna Beach last week for Pawele's eco-friendly bridal expo. Brides-to-be brought mothers or fiancés to look at sample invitations, linens and a fashion show.

"We all started thinking about how people in the wedding industry can be a little more responsible," Pawele said.

For some, that means making their products locally. Mariya Palanjian of Lanalia shoes said she opened her North Hollywood factory when she saw other shoe companies heading overseas. She's constantly researching which materials are best for the environment, she said, and with the shoes almost completely handmade, the factory is missing a striking feature.

"Our factory barely has any machinery," she said.

Jeff Johnson, also known as Jeff the Silent Chef, talks with couples at his San Clemente headquarters about how to incorporate local, sustainable ingredients into their menus.

"Once you get them aware, they get excited about it," he said.

Designers Deborah Lindquist, Olivia Luca, Lindee Daniel and Katerina Bocci showed gowns that used recycled fabric, sustainable materials or a mixture of both. Michigan-based Bocci designed the gown used in newly-crowned Miss USA Rima Fakih's competition photo shoot. Bocci said her dresses, which range from simple to ball gowns, use eco-friendly materials wherever possible, such as cotton lining. The dresses are also naturally dyed. Wedding designers should be conscious of how green methods can work for them, instead of being daunted that a 100 percent wedding gown may be impossible.

"We still have to add those couture finishes," she said.

The wedding industry won't turn green overnight, Pawele conceded, but making brides more aware of eco-friendly choices is a step in the right direction.

"Through creating a demand, I think we're going to have more fabrics to choose from," she said.
