Ceremony Music
Ashleigh, on October 15, 2021 at 3:54 PM

I already booked my venue and DJ and with the DJ it was included that they do my ceremony music if it was at the same location. It is at the same location, but the ceremony is in the woods and...

Walking down the Aisle
Taylor, on October 12, 2021 at 3:17 PM

How to deal with walking down the aisle nerves! Every time I think about it I get anxiety. I am not nervous about getting married, I am nervous about having all eyes on me!

What does your ceremony decor look like?
Michelle, on October 12, 2021 at 2:53 PM

How are you decorating? Simple or elaborate? If you are marrying at the reception venue, how are you setting aside the ceremony area?

Flower girl petal alternatives
Allaura, on October 14, 2021 at 5:47 PM

So my venue doesn’t allow flower people (because we’ve all seen the flower man videos and let’s face it’s 2021) to throw flower petals. What are some alternative that aren’t difficult to clean?

How Short is too short of a ceremony!?
Jessica, on October 6, 2021 at 3:55 PM

Hey My Lovelies, My fiancé and I are both very introverted and we have a big wedding. We both do not want a long ceremony, so we were not thinking of doing anything like sand, candle lighting,...

Rose Petals for Ceremony Aisle
Miranda Landry, on October 14, 2021 at 1:12 PM

I will need roses for 40 ft of my ceremony aisle, from where the chairs start to where they end. I want a similar density of roses to this aisle. About how many petals do you think I need?

Did you have your wedding party attend your first look?
Bree, on October 2, 2021 at 2:03 AM

Hey! Just need some opinions on whether people have been part of the wedding party/ done a first look with or without your wedding party. Which did you prefer and why? Pics are so welcome!

How should you wear your engagement ring on your wedding day?
Alejandra, on October 9, 2021 at 11:25 AM

Hi all, I’m curious to know how other people go about wearing their engagement rings right before the ceremony. My understanding is that the order of rings (and how I plan on wearing them) is wedding...

Toss me
Madison, on October 9, 2021 at 9:37 PM

Typically bird seed is tossed as the “lovebirds” leave the ceremony. What catchy phrase can I use since we chose to toss grass seed instead. Ps. What a great eco friendly option, grass seed.

Vows read by the officiant

My FH and I are both extremely terrible at speaking in front of others and we have always planned to NOT share vows at the wedding due to this. Our officiant thought it would be nice if we wrote...

Kathy, on October 5, 2021 at 2:27 PM

Handfasting
Denise, on September 30, 2021 at 10:08 PM

We are doing a Gaelic handfasting during our vows. I finished up out cord tonight. Is anyone else veering away from traditional ceremonies?
