Tradition Not For You? Here are 4 Alternative Options for Your Ceremony

by | Wedding, Wedding Ideas, Weddings

Your wedding is one of the most important events of your life. It should be a unique and memorable celebration of the love you and your partner have for one another. It is important that your ceremony reflects both your values and personalities, whether they or traditional or not.

For those with a more free-spirited soul I have put together some fantastic ideas on how to make your ceremony your own.

An Intimate Ceremony

A big wedding isn’t for everyone. With some couples choosing to work within a smaller budget for their wedding, an intimate ceremony or a micro wedding may be the perfect solution. These ceremonies allow you to ponder options that may not have been available if you were having a wedding with larger number including venues, catering options and entertainment. There is more leeway for self-expression. Having a compact ceremony is bespoke and intimate way of celebrating your love in front of your nearest and dearest. As a wedding celebrant I thrive on helping to create a personal ceremony that showcases your personality and expresses the romance of your relationship.

Sustainability

These days more people are becoming environmentally conscious, leading to sustainable weddings growing in popularity. With this in mind there are more choices than ever for an environmentally conscious couple to consider when planning their nuptials. From selecting local vendors, to renting your wedding attire and visiting eco-friendly venues you will be spoilt for choice if you decide to take to take this route. My personal favourite is the use of petals as confetti which can appear magical in photographs, whilst creating a biodegradable solution for environment. You can also cut fresh leaves in personalised shapes or use a hole punch to make confetti.

Make Your Wedding Pop With Colour

An injection of colour is an inventive and versatile way of making your ceremony stand out from the norm. I recently delivered a wedding blessing for a couple whose entire wedding was rainbow coloured. Everything from the bride’s hair to their flower arrangements and the décor were flourished with bold splashes of colour. It made a truly unique ceremony for the couple and the effect was absolutely stunning. If you’re a more demure person, having one central colour theme or even several can transform your ceremony into a remarkable event.

A Wedding Celebrant

The best thing about choosing a wedding celebrant is that they will work with you to create a ceremony that perfectly captures the two of you as a couple. They have the experience and wisdom to guide you to make informed choices as you move forward into the new phase of your lives together. From the order of ceremony, to writing the vows and much more, everything is customisable. I have even been there to sooth some nerves on the big day, which is completely natural on one of the most important days of your life. With a wedding celebrant you can truly have the ceremony that you want, one that you can reflect on with the happiest memories in the years to come.
