Many young couples choose to follow traditional wedding ceremony protocol. Others are setting new standards by incorporating their personal tastes and simple ideas in the wedding day celebrations.
Whether the ceremony is planned at an elaborate place of worship or in a quaint chapel, you can customize the ceremony with the following ideas:
Pew Markers: They are used to designate rows for special guests. Whether made from flowers, material bows, grapevine wreaths, or cups with tasteful decorations, this is a detonate way to show your personal touch. Some houses of worship restrict decorations, so check with the officiate before making a decorative pew arrangements.
Programs: The program tells guests what to expect, and can explain the meaning behind ceremonial traditions. This is also a great way for you to include a symbol of you and your fiancé’s interests. Include motifs, symbols or images that reflect your interests, tastes or hobbies. You can also include a poem or quote from a favourite writer. A program can also feature a “who’s who” in the wedding party, along with a few lines about their relationship to the bride and groom. Consider rolling the sheets of the program into scrolls and tie the ribbons, lace or raffia.
Music: It’s another classic way to personalize the ceremony and reception. The ceremonial music you choose expresses your personal tastes, while, the guests are waiting for the ceremony to begin, request instrumental music that honours your family’s heritage. Or, if there is a particular musician that you and your fiancé enjoy, include a few of these songs.
Prayer: It’s a lovely idea to include a silent prayer. During the ceremony or before the dinner, you can honour any deceased parents or siblings or special guests who couldn’t attend the wedding.
Unity Candle: The bride and groom, together, may want to light a candle in memory of a specific guest. The joint lighting of a candle can also be performed after being pronounced husband and wife. When featured as ‘unity candle lighting’, it symbolizes two families coming together.
