I've never been to a wedding that didn't have religious aspects to it. What would a secular ceremony look and sound like? What is said? I feel very strongly about having a secular ceremony. Our...
Where to buy rose petals? I saw some on esty, but I am indecisive if I want to go with the ‘cheaper’ looking petals because they’re going in the trash after. Or if I should go with the better option...
Need help with an upbeat recessional song!
Hello everyone! I would love to hear your ideas for unique guest books, unity ceremonies, and guest favors! I know I want to incorporate each of these I just don't know what I want to do. I would love...
I'm debating between walking down the aisle alone vs. with my fiancé, and I'd love to hear your experiences or opinions. Part of me wants to go together because we're partners in every other way, but...
Hi everyone! I have a couple of questions that I was hoping you all could help answer. My venue (possibly, as long as everything works out) will be a brewery. This brewery will be open to the public,...
I feel a little silly asking this, but all of the threads I've seen about processional music discuss modern music, sometimes with lyrics. I was planning on having all Baroque music with an emphasis on...
So i really love the feet washing ceremony and want to do it at my wedding. My only concern is i know that it is a deeply religious ritual, and i dont know if it will seem weird to include that then...
We have booked a lovely reception location with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony site but as a catholic, the priest has to do the service inside the church. Has anyone done both? The church would hold the...
Will you buy your corsage and bouquet already made or have someone personally make them? I am back and forth and can’t really decide.
So I’m at a crossroads trying to figure this out. Is it common for just the mothers and grandmothers to be escorted by an usher, and have the grandfathers and father of the groom already be sitting?...
I’m trying to plan my ceremony but am unsure of how the order of everything goes? Where does prayers and music go? When is the unity ceremony? Etc. can anyone give me a rundown of the order things...
We’re kind of debating on doing a first look or keep it traditional where we don’t see each other til the ceremony? I don’t we’re kind of old school.
Our wedding date is October 8th of this year in Oregon and we haven't landed on a ceremony time. I've done some research and sunset around that time of year is around 6:40pm and I've just seen some...
Hi there! I'm having a small backyard wedding in June near DC. We are having a food truck for our catering, so we need to hire our own bar tender. We are also thinking about hiring one server to help...
Hello! My dream wedding would be next to the the Amalfi coast in Italy, but unfortunately I have family members that are really old and most likely couldn’t travel there. I’m looking for anywhere in...
I'm having a Christian ceremony at my church (Methodist) but trying to include a few Jewish elements since my FH's entire family is Jewish, which my pastor is open to. We will be having a string trio...
I have different songs for both me and the bridemaids walking down the aisle. But was wondering is it okay if it had the lyrics playing with the song? I've been to a few weddings and most of them had...
So I saw a TikTok where they had the guests throw flower petals as the bride and groom exit the ceremony (recessional) We are not having a flower girl. Is this a silly idea or do you think it could be...
