Harmonious Ceremony
Your wedding is one of the most memorable events in your life. You want your ceremony space to have the look and feel of perfection. Choosing the right site and making sure everything is properly planned are two of the most important tasks when it comes to a beautifully flawless ceremony – we suggest a checklist.
Here are some of the most important elements to consider – and totally checklist approved.
- Find the ceremony site and the officiant first.
- List ceremony décor elements you may need to rent (such as a huppah, chairs, stands for flowers or candelabras). Also, think of the elements you might have to buy (yarmulkes, unity candles, ring pillow, flower basket, something your guests can toss as you exit the ceremony, etc).
- Research wedding traditions to see which ones are suitable and applicable for/to your love story. You don’t have to do everything “by the book.” Get creative and do what speaks to you.
- Ask your officiant for a copy of his/her standard ceremony program and, if necessary, ask if you can make alterations to it. You want your ceremony to be specific to you.
- Start writing your wedding vows early. These are the foundation of your marriage and should speak to who you are as a couple. Take your time; find inspiration through your experiences together, favorite songs or books and depth of your love. Write wedding vows that are genuine and meaningful!
