You can have beautiful flowers and an incredible theme, but if you day doesn’t flow well the overall ease and feel of the day can be compromised.
Break your day up into three sections:
1. Ceremony
2. Pre-dinner reception
3. Dinner and after dinner
The Ceremony
Carefully walk the steps of each section, ensuring timings have been carefully calculated and consider the logistics of each section, don’t leave any decisions to the big day. Here I have highlighted the key aspects you need to consider as you plan your wedding ceremony.
VIP & “Readers” Seating:
Have reserved seating for the ceremony for VIP’s and readers organised and make sure your ushers are aware. This ensures all the key people end up in the correct place, helps the ushers and saves embarrassment of guests unsure how close to the front they can be.
Parking and Entrance
Is there parking nearby and how are guests informed (via wedding website or the additional info paper that goes with your invites)? Ushers need to be positioned to assist guests finding the entrance.
Music
If not live, who has the music (USB stick? CD?) and who presses play?
Buttonholes
Who will attach? Boys really struggle with this, have 1 person dedicated to attaching all, so they are consistent across all the groomsmen – much better in your photos!
