Wedding etiquette has changed greatly in recent years. An increasing number of couples are paying for their big day themselves, rather than relying on cash injections from their parents and this is one of the reasons why they are choosing to take the advice, “it’s your wedding, do it your way.”

We take a look at these changes in wedding traditions and how you can make them work for you at a time when weddings are forced to be smaller, more intimate occasions.
