Planning a wedding is no easy feat and can be quite overwhelming, especially when it comes to deciding on what items to include during the ceremony. You want to make sure everything is perfect and that you have all the necessary items to create a successful and memorable event. With my experience as an event planner, I’ve put together some helpful tips on how to decide which items to have at your wedding ceremony. Whether you’re a wedding planner, event planner, or bride-to-be, these tips will help you organize a seamless ceremony.
The Venue
The first thing you need to consider is the venue you’ve chosen. Every venue has its own unique features and limitations, so make sure to choose items that fit the space. For instance, you won't want to use large floral arrangements in a small space as they can overpower the room and decrease the flow of guests. Keep in mind the overall aesthetic of your venue, such as its color scheme and architectural details, when choosing décor items such as drapery, lighting, and centerpieces.
The Budget
It is essential to decide on a budget before beginning your wedding planning list. Determine the amount of money you want to allocate to the ceremony (including the items you want to include), and try your best to stick to it. When choosing items, consider the cost of each one, and choose items that fit within your budget. **Remember, most often you can always substitute or compromise on some items to save on costs.
Ceremony type
The type of ceremony you want to have will play a key role in the items you choose. For instance, a non-denominational service may call for smaller floral arrangements, while a larger church wedding may be the perfect opportunity to have more elaborate arrangements. A civil ceremony or elopement may only require essential items such as an arch or backdrop, while a traditional ceremony might require more decorum.
Climate
Consider the time of year when planning your wedding and the probable weather conditions. If it's hot and bright outdoors, consider providing enough shades or fans to keep guests comfortable. During winters, ensure that you provide comfortable seating or heating to keep the guests warm. In case of a rainy day, invest in materials such as tents or canopies to keep the event dry.
Meaningful details
Everyone's wedding should reflect their unique story as a couple, incorporating personalized details. When considering items to include, make sure they have meaning to you, as a couple. Add extra accents such as photographs, sentimental items or personalized vows that speak to your story. Displaying elements of your history can help tell your story to your guests and contribute to the success of your wedding.
Deciding on which items to include in your wedding ceremony can be a daunting task. By keeping in mind the venue, your budget, ceremony type, climate, and personal details, you can curate a beautiful, unique, and successful event. Every ceremony is different, so trust your gut instincts and go for something that allows you to be yourself and tell your story. I hope these helpful tips assist you in achieving your dream wedding ceremony. Happy planning!
