Keep it Short

The ceremony is a very special part of your day and is the most important part. Although it will feel like it flew for you and your partner (due to nerves), you don't want to bore your guests in the audience. So try to keep it short and sweet.

Have Music

Although this may seem like an obvious one, some people decide they don't want music in the church. That's perfectly fine if that’s your own personal preference but if you do decide to have a singer, pianist or choir on the day it definitely adds to the atmosphere. It will most certainly make a difference when you walk down the aisle and also when you and your partner are leaving the ceremony.

Have Flowers

Flowers most definitely make the church look nice on the day so why not add some brightly coloured

flowers to your own bouquet and at the top of the aisle. To make them look even prettier, you could also use ribbons to tie the bouquets.

Reserve Seats

This is an important one and a tip your family will appreciate. If you reserve the first one or two aisles for

family and close friends you'll have them close to you for the most important parts of the ceremony. There's nothing worse than looking over your shoulder to the front row and not seeing the people that mean the most to you. Why not customize some signs to reserve the seats and make them feel extra important.

Make Sure There Won't Be Any Hiccups

If your flower girl is a child, the last thing you want is her refusing last minute to walk down the aisle. You will be nervous enough yourself on the day so why not designate one of the bridesmaids to look after any of the children that may be a part of the bridal party. Ask her to bring along colouring books or sweets to keep their mind occupied and make sure they're happy.
