This is why many modern day couples are opting to simplify the conventional wedding commotion-- by leaving behind old traditions, and making a wedding day to fit your own love story and personalities.

3. Handwritten note on shoes
Truly walk every step of your wedding day journey with your new hubs or wifey, with a sweet handwritten note. This is not one that your guests will see, which makes it ten times as romantic! Just a personal note between you lovebirds as you enter life together...

6. Personalized dress hangers
