▲From pastel colors to bright colors, the white dress is a thing of the past!

▲It isn't an obligatory tradition, but godparents sometimes accompany the bride and groom during the ceremony.

▲

This one is not followed in most places. The pair may even get financial help from the parents, but they're usually the ones paying for the ceremony.
