From the time honored traditions, to the ceremonial dress
uniforms, there’s something very special about a military wedding! Brides planning a military wedding can
incorporate as many or as few traditions into her weddings as she likes.
By far the most popular military tradition in weddings is
the sword / saber arch. Usually 6 – 8
servicemen line up in pairs outside the chapel and the bride and groom walk
under the arch as they leave. The servicemen
will drop their sword and require the bride and groom kiss before being allowed
to pass through.
Before completing the
symbolic “safe passage into marriage”, the last 2 men will block their journey
while one guard gives the new military spouse a swat on the backside as they
are welcomed into whatever branch of service they just married into. This is a
very old, but fun tradition that has carried forward for many years.

Another ritual that is becoming a fast tradition with
military weddings is the sparkler grand exit.
Just like the sword / saber arch, the sparkler arch leaving the
reception is rapidly growing with military weddings. Most brides prefer our #36 Gold Sparklers to
create another arch / tunnel to walk through to make their exit more dramatic
and special.

Military weddings are steeped in tradition, patriotism and
pomp and circumstance! These traditions
that come with a military wedding make them so special!
