A traditional wedding is always a good stylistic choice, but what constitutes traditional varies with the country and the culture you live in. In America, and many other Anglo-Saxon or western countries, is synonymous with grooms in black ties and tails, a white wedding dress for the bride, a best man and made of honour, and so on.

However, as an alternative choice many people choose to have a wedding following a different tradition than the one above. Here are some of the more popular wedding styles from other parts of the globe.
