i want to make my wedding unique. what can i add to the ceremony to make it different but not weird.?

Answer 1

let different people hand you a rose or whatever flower as you walk down the aisle. This will become your bouquet. Let the parents from both sides tie your ribbon to bundle the flowers up.

Answer 2

For the actual ceremony there are a number of things you can try (some of which have already been mentioned). One that I will suggest is doing a sand ceremony rather than a unity candle. What happens is that in 2 glass containers you have 2 different colors of sand. You and your fiance each take one and pour it into a larger container (perhaps one with your names and the date inscribed and with a lid!). The colors of sand will mix together, much like the two of you are becoming one. You can always put into the program something like "the bride and groom will remain as one until each grain of sand can be separated by color"...or something like that... (basically to take all the sand and put it back the way it was would be an impossible task, just as tearing the two of you apart would be :) ). I've always like that one.

Also, something to make it memorable is the music. In my wedding I walked down the aisle to trumpet voluntary by Clarke (i don't like the traditional wedding march)...but what most people remember is our recessional music...I was in the michigan marching band for a number of years and we recorded the fight song etc. to a few CDs....so for the recessional we played the fight song! We left it of the program so EVERYONE was totally surprised by it :). People remember that to this day. Good luck planning!

Answer 3

How about candles down the aisle, and /or have a certain theme for your wedding. My friend is getting married in July and is using a seashore/seashell theme. But there are so many books in the library that could provide you with information as well!
By adding your own special music, whether it is vocals, instrumental or played on a CD it would add a diffident flair to any ceremony!
Your wedding color scheme could be played up in your decorations as well. You could write your own vows ( again the library would have printed materials on this subject).

Answer 4

You are talking about the Ceremony not the Reception right??

I love the idea of adding something from your heritage. In Africa, it was common to jump a broom. In Jewish tradition, you smash a glass at the end. In Nordic cultures, pine branches would be placed over the doorway. Look up your own culture and try to add some of the old traditions from that.

Answer 6

have the men dress in black tuxedo's with tails and have the women dress in white ones...

have women in the wedding party carry one red rose... have the bride carry a red and a white...

have the bride and grrom say their own vows... not pre-recorded.. then have each member of the wedding party wish them well.... (short & sweet) besure you knnow what they will say in advance and approve it...

as soon as the grrom kisses the bride, have the bride and grrom go into the audience and hug/kiss their parents and then their new in-laws...

then... have bride and groom waltz their way up the ailse out of the ceremony to a traditional waltz song... instead of walking out...

at the end , just before leaviing... have the bride and groom stop, turn around, and face the audience.... the bride yells... I GOT ME ONE... and after the laughter the groom yells.. YEHAWWWW... its corney but it will be long remembered and will set the stage for a great after party...

make it FUN not stuffy. and take lots of photo's.

at the party have a disposable camera on each table and ask attendees to take pictures of the party then drop cameras off at a certain location for your momento... if you wnat to, have 2 cameras on the table... tell them one to be dropped off for the couple and one to take with them as your gift to them for coming...

congratulations...

Answer 7

1. You could have a fondue for desert or just for the head table.
2. For something funny you could blindfold the groom and put him at the end of the room and tell his groomsmen to guide him to you to remove the garder but really you(the bride) are sitting on top of a person with hairy legs's lap and your feet are up and he has his pant leg rolled up so when ur groom goes to remove the garder he feels an extremely hairy leg!
3. You could serve something unusual for food.
4. You could have all the parents of the groom and bride to get up and share most embarassing stories!
5. You could have thumb wrestling competitions at the head table.
6. You could have various contests.

Good Luck!!

Answer 8

Honestly, as someone in the wedding profession, I can tell you there's only three things perople remember (on the whole):
1. Was the food good?
2. Did they get buzzed?
3. Did they have fun?

Other than that, the rest is entirely forgettable. Decorations, themes, weird party favors, people don't remember all of that. Get a good caterer, fun entertainment, and liqour, and your wedding will be remembered as a blast.

But if you're still determined to have something "different", email me, and I'll be more than happy to brainstorm with you.

Answer 9

If you took someone else's idea for a unique wedding, it would be their idea, not yours...I bet you can think of something on your own. In fact, I'm guessing you already have ideas that would be just fine. It's your wedding, do what you want!!! Have fun!

Answer 10

you can make this ceremony like a fancy ball.you could ask your friends and family do some dress up...like angel or whatever they like .then everybody will never forget this unique wedding
you'll all have a good time.
