Ceremony: Part 2-Reserved seating and order of ceremony entrance

🌿Wedding ceremonies are a huge part of your special day and there’s a lot of different components that go into making them extra special. So there might be a Part 3 next week😉

Let’s start with family seating. It’s something simple, but it’s usually pretty important to you and your family. Be sure to communicate with your wedding planner/venue coordinator/decorator to designate the first row or two for your families only. You can put cute signs hanging from the seats at the end of the aisle, or even individualized name cards for each seat if you are particular about where your family sits for the ceremony. But make sure you tell your family ahead of time. That way there is no confusion!

💕The traditional Christian wedding ceremony always starts with the officiant/priest. This lets everyone know that the ceremony is about to begin! It’s pretty exciting! Next it typically goes by age. So grandparents, parents, and siblings (if they aren’t in your wedding party). Followed by the groomsmen, then the bridesmaids. Traditionally the order of the groomsmen and bridesmaids who will walk first, are the ones that are the farthest from you when you are all standing at the front during the ceremony. Meaning the best man/maid of honour will be the two final people from the wedding party. Then it’s the ring bearer/flower girl(if any) and finally the bride/significant other!💐

🌈Overall, there is no one perfect way to do it. You do you. You can have as many or as few people people walking down the aisle as you want!

Bonus tip: Don’t actually give your ring bearer the real wedding rings if they are young!😅
