We’re having an afternoon ceremony with a lunchtime reception, but how late is too late to begin? We were thinking we’d have the ceremony at either 12 or 1 (30 min ceremony) followed by an hour...
I need ideas for songs to walk down to the aisle to. It needs to be a recording as I won’t have any musicians playing, just a dj. I only want instrumental music, no singing. I prefer violin/cello...

We are having a secular wedding but really love and would like to include the reading called "Blessing of the Hands." The actual reading itself does not include the word "blessing" or have anything...

FH and I are trying to decide on sand colors for our sand ceremony (us + our seven combined children). Can y’all show me pics of your REAL finished product? All I can seem to find online are stock...

For those of you who dismissed rows after the ceremony or had a receiving line....how long did it take you for how many guests?

How much did you all pay for an officiant? FH and I are not religious. We are looking for a secular officiant, but it's harder than we thought it would be. We originally had a family friend that was...

Have you asked some special friends or family to do a reading during your ceremony? How did you decide who to ask? How many do you have and what relation to you are they? Photo by Nine Photography in...

Hey there parents and step parents-to-be! How are you getting your kids and future kids involved in your wedding? Will they stand up with you? Escort you down the aisle? Will you do any vows to them?...

So I just found out my girls cant throw flowers inside the church, so I saw the new trend of holding signs like "here comes the love of your life." Would tall think that's a good idea or should the...
Hello-my church does not allow for anything to be thrown on the aisle? Any alternatives you have seen for flower girls. I have seen pompadours and flowers on hoops and im not a fan.

For those of you that did an unplugged ceremony....did you have a welcome sign stating this and how did people react? My FH thinks we should put the info in the invitations but I'm not sure about that...

We have a bridal party of 14, not including myself and my FH. For anyone who had a relatively large bridal party, how long did your processional last? How many songs did you use?
Hello, everyone. New here. =) Currently working on tight cost wedding plans. My parents have been pressuring me, especially my mom, to have a Catholic wedding in a church. I was trying to compromise,...
So we're having a friend as our officiant so I am putting together the script for him with FH. Here is what we have so far. I think we have all the important stuff (declarations, vows, ring exchange...
Hey all! My wedding coordinator told me it would be a lot easier to have different music playing for seating guests (such as one song for moms, one for grandparents, etc.) that way it will be easier...

So I bought my viel forever ago (pictured above), and it’s very thin, delicate, sheer tulle. I didn’t even think about it catching on the stone/concrete aisle during the ceremony until someone brought...

I had cut ties with a toxic friend who was one of my bridesmaids. The wedding is in 2 1/2 months, and there is really no one else I would like as a bridesmaid. I need ideas for the ceremony to not...
I want to have a star themed wedding, and I found this adorable barn that I would love to get married in. Say you were going to my wedding. Would you think it's weird that it isn't super country??
