Ceremony moh and bm

Does the made of honor have to walk next to the best man during the ceremony? The best man’s wife is in the bridal party also and I feel it would be weird if his wife would walk with someone else. Any...

Wine Blending Ceremony
Allison, on October 22, 2021 at 10:21 AM

Has anyone done wine blending at their ceremony? I think it’s really nice, but I’m worried about getting red wine on my dress.

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?

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!
