Today, we have a special guest posting!
After a few rose cocktails at the Cosmo Blog Awards, I knew that I wanted to share Natasha Johnson and her wisdom with you.
Natasha is not only a blogger about everything weddings, with a specialization in ceremonies, but she is also a Humanist Wedding Celebrant who is dedicated to making her couples’ vows meaningful, personal, and memorable.
She shared her expertise with Marko and me (we are having a DIY Ceremony), and I knew I couldn’t just keep her to myself. I asked her if she would mind contributing to the Blog.
I’m so happy she said yes!
Natasha is here to help you create a truly unique ceremony that your guests will not nod off at.
Have you ever been in a similar situation?
We’ve all been there: a friend’s or relative’s wedding where we’ve tried to sneak a glance at our watches (but always someone does!) ).
During the ceremony, your thoughts can range from the pain in your feet despite the fact that the day is only beginning to the delicious food you’ll be served at your wedding reception.
Our minds are focused on everything but the ceremony that is taking place in front of us.
We’ve all done it.
The times are changing. Thank goodness
Couples have become more knowledgeable and sophisticated about wedding ceremonies. They also take a greater role in the planning of them.
Recognizing that their wedding ceremony is a formal statement of their commitment to one another, they also acknowledge that it is their ceremony. It is something that can be personalized, romanticized, individualized, and, okay, I’ve run out of words to describe this, but I think you get the point.
A wedding ceremony may not be considered wedding entertainment, but it can still be fun for both you and your guests.
Your guests will feel more committed to you if they are involved in the ceremony. This is because many have witnessed your love story, and some are your greatest cheerleaders, champions, and supporters.
A personal ceremony will make it more meaningful, uplifting, and joyful.
Let’s look at five ways to make your ceremony more memorable for you, your family, and your friends. There are many options for personalization, from subtle touches to complete guest participation.
The good news is that these suggestions can be easily implemented and won’t add too much to your planning.
That’s good to know.
Seating can be changed.
This is one of the easiest things you can do for your family and friends to make the ceremony more enjoyable.
With some thought and some rearranging, you can make your ceremony more memorable by changing how your guests stand or sit. Circular and semi-circular seats are much more intimate and warm than rows of boxes and can help create a greater intimacy between you and your guests.
Even how you stand can help to create a welcoming and warm atmosphere at the event.
Do not stand facing away from your guests. Instead, meet your family and friends.
