No wedding party- ceremony logistics?

We didn't have a bridal party. Our officiant held our rings and also our vow books. There was actually a little decorated table for him. I handed my bouquet off to my mom who was in the front row.

Perhaps the officiant could hold the rings (or someone else that you are close to/want to include in the wedding somehow).

Even though we have a WP, I've also thought about my bouquet & thought perhaps to place it in the middle of the table we'll be having the sand ceremony on. Used more of décor during the ceremony.

If you want to hold it through out the ceremony, I wouldn't find that tacky at all...not sure how you would exchange rings though?!?

We didn't have a bridal party. FH held the rings in his pocket and my mom held my bouquet.

Great ideas!

I could request our officiant to help with the rings and mom, who will be in the front row, could take care of my bouquet. Ambrok- that was a very sensible point about exchanging rings while holding the bouquet- I didn't think of it!

I think it could also be a nice honor to have your parents hold the rings; maybe your mom could hold yours and hand it to FH at the appointed time (with a hug or kiss on the cheek, kind of a welcome to the family gesture, if she's comfortable with it), with his mom doing the same thing for his ring. You could also carry each others' rings--yours in FH's pocket, his on your thumb.

Great advice. I had the same questions but won't be married until next year so I figured I had time to look and learn.

We also have no bridal party. My aunt who will sit up front will hold my bouquet during the ring exchange and my fil will hold onto the rings and pass them along when needed.

We are not having a wedding party but my sister will be holding the rings & my bouquet for me.

I'm glad I saw this because I had not thought about who was going to hold my bouquet.
