Pop The Knot is so honored to be featured for the second time on She Knows! This time our advice was featured in an article titled, “The anti-bride’s guide to planning a non-traditional wedding” and you can read about it here.
Our two tips on how to have a non-traditional wedding taken from the She Knows article is below:
Mix Up The Venue
Everyone expects a church wedding, but jaws might hit the floor (hopefully, in the best way possible) when guests realize your wedding will be held under a beautiful bridge — or at an art studio, or at a local wine bar or in front of a graffiti mural. “Instead of a traditional church or well-known wedding venue, have your wedding somewhere unexpected,” Michele Velazquez, owner of the pop-up wedding company Pop The Knot, says.
Make It A Surprise
This one goes out to all the brave brides (or those April Fools’ Day pranksters). Velazquez suggests making the entire event a surprise, if your parents’ hearts can handle it. “Tell everyone that you are hosting a family dinner or make up another excuse to get everyone to be at your location on the specified date and time. Ask them to all dress for the occasion. When they arrive, announce that this is your pop-up wedding! This is a great way to break traditions and not break the bank.
