The “New” Wedding Survey IN THE NEWS from Brides Magazine

Jump to Comments

The January issue of Brides magazine includes a survey on “The New American Wedding.”   The results include a mix of old and new — “Reception” is out.  “Party” is in.  A huge 97% of grooms are part of the wedding planning.  Twenty percent of couples have a friend or relative deputized to perform the ceremony.    But in 2010, tradition still reigns for certain aspects of the wedding:

87% of women will still wear a long white gown.

85% of couples will walk into their reception to “For the first time, Mr. and Mrs….”

93% will have a cake-cutting ceremony.

75% of brides will toss the bouquet.
