70 Unconventional Wedding Ideas

From Zombie Themes to Choreographed Wedding Walks

— July 27, 2009 — Lifestyle
Now that the economy has slowed, brides and grooms must be far more creative to let their special day stand out; these unconventional wedding ideas give couples a wealth of inspiration that doesn't involve anything traditional.

From zombie wedding themes to choreographed hip-hop wedding walks, these unconventional wedding ideas won't disappoint.

Implications - In today's selfcentric society, marriage is no longer seen in the traditional light. Marriage represents the union of two individuals, calling for weddings that allow both bride and groom to express themselves separately and as a unit. Thus, wedding planners, dress designers and all those involved in the wedding industry must incorporate more creative elements into their products.
