I would look at the symbolism behind the traditions and decide what the couple wants to incorporate.

I like the bride walking with both parents and the groom walking with both parents. I believe that is more of a Jewish custom.

There are many interpretations behind the meaning of the chuppah. In my mind, it represents the joining of families. I once read that, traditionally, two branches from trees from the groom’s family’s home and two branches from the bride’s family’s home were used to hold the canopy which symbolized the home that the couple will create together. Both the brides parents and the grooms parents stand at the corners of the chuppah as couple, and the two families, are joined.

If you are looking for a religious component that both sides will feel comfortable with, maybe incorporate the seven blessings.

I’ve seen the hora danced at weddings where neither the bride, nor the groom, were Jewish.

Whatever you include, you might create a program for guests to describe the customs and why the couple chose to incorporate them.
