Chai Lai Orchid

Cydne Robinson Films

Austin and Annie met 8 years ago and decided to tie the knot in Thailand with their two daughters. They last minute decided to have their ceremony with an elephant behind them at an elephant sanctuary and the groom surprised his new daughters with special vows on the wedding day that made everyone lose it.  No better way to take bridals than splashing around with an elephant and ending the night with a lantern release in the jungle.

Most Buddhist weddings actually do not take place in a temple, especially since it is not a particularly religious ceremony. Instead, they're typically hosted at home or in a rented space. Symbols are always showcased, like a gold Buddha surrounded by incense and candles or those of the couple's traditional culture.

Much of the personalization in the wedding details and attire will come from the couple's traditional cultures and heritage.

Need vendors for your Buddhist wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Buddhist weddings have typically eschewed religion throughout history as they are considered a very personal choice, not a religious duty. Therefore, these weddings are very joyful, unique to the couple and combine modern practices with traditional rituals.

Buddhist weddings are most common in India, Asia and Southeast Asia so each wedding contains local customs that will differ depending on the location. All Buddhist weddings will likely have a grand reception with plenty of dishes and live music, but couples in Cambodia may bind their wrists with string during the ceremony, while Japanese couples may partake in sipping three cups of rice wine. Other weddings may pay tribute to the multiculturalism of Buddhism and include multiple countries' tradtions.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your Buddhist wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

Traditionally, we see a gorgeous garden party wedding with plenty of lace, especially when it comes to the wedding dress, and rustic touches. If you're looking for more of a flashy appeal, consider metallics, sequins and even a New Year's Eve wedding date!

We love the idea of using an old-school car as your reception exit vehicle.

Need vendors for your Vintage wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Vintage weddings are a romantic and popular style perfect for a couple who loves the glam of the 20s or simple beauty of the Victorian era. The vintage wedding style will fit in perfectly at a garden venue, estate or historic home or inn.

A vintage wedding is perfect for the romantic at heart. You can embrace the glamour of the roaring '20s or the modern retro of the '50s or even the bohemian natural beauty of the '60s. A vintage wedding style is broad and the definition is different for every couple. We recommend venues with a little history and to really embody the era your theme is based on from the attire to the reception exit.
