I Want to Have a Traditional and Classic Wedding!!
Recently, wedding receptions have become more diverse, and many couples are opting for stylish and fun styles that really showcase their individuality ♩
However, I believe many brides-to-be still want a traditional and classic reception that isn’t influenced by trends! Let’s review the simple and timeless flow of a wedding while skipping many of the extravagant performances ♪
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 1: Entry of the Bride and Groom & Guest Speeches
The event begins with the entry of the bride and groom, followed shortly by speeches from the guests *
It is customary for one guest speaker from the groom’s side and one from the bride’s side to give speeches ◎ It's best to ask a boss or mentor for this opportunity *
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 2: Introduction of Profiles
The MC will introduce the profiles and love story of the bride and groom *
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 3: Toast
The toast is done grandly ◎ It is standard to ask the groom's boss to give the toast *
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 4: Cake Cutting
The cake cutting, being the couple's first joint task, is a classic event ◎ If you want to stick to tradition, avoid elaborate additions like the first bite and keep it simple ♪
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 5: Temporary Exit of the Bride and Groom
The temporary exit refers to the bride and groom leaving the venue for the outfit change. Choosing an escort during this time is also an important point ♡
While it’s common to have a mother or relative as an escort, many brides also ask close friends or important individuals to escort them *
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 6: Re-Entry of the Bride and Groom
The bride and groom, after their outfit change, will re-enter together * I want to surprise our guests with stunning dresses and tuxedos, accompanied by carefully chosen background music ♡

The candle service offers a close-up opportunity for communication while the couple visits guest tables * Candlelight is said to symbolize a warm home, making it one of the enduringly popular performances even today ♡
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 8: Conversation & Presentation of Congratulations
It’s always special when friends of the bride and groom contribute performances to liven up the reception * I want our guests to take home such wonderful memories ♡ We will also present congratulatory messages from those who couldn't attend the ceremony directly ♩
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 9: Letter from the Bride & Presentation of Gifts from the Couple
After the enjoyable conversation, we will move to the emotional scenes * First, the bride will read a letter to her parents, followed by the presentation of gifts from the bride and groom to both sets of parents ◎
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 10: Thank-you Speech from the Groom’s Father & Groom
The father of the groom and the groom will deliver thanks to the guests. This is probably going to be one of the most emotional moments, where expressing gratitude directly to the guests is crucial *
Flow of a Traditional Wedding Part 11: Conclusion & Farewell
This concludes the reception * As you bid farewell to your guests, let's express our gratitude by personally handing out small gifts ♡
Share Happiness with Everyone Attending the Ceremony ♡
Since this wedding and reception involve important people, I want guests of all ages to enjoy it * Why not aim to be a traditional bride with a classic wedding? ♡
