7 ideas for a very personal wedding ceremony

Nowadays, weddings are a tailor-made event. There is a myriad of details to emphasize the big day making it as close as possible to the protagonists, from dresses to wedding favors. And the ceremony? Each rite, both civil and religious, has a fixed part, and some interludes in which it is possible to introduce customizations, including parts of wedding or rituals, to have a unique and personal result.

1. The rites of entry and exit

With the complicity of bridesmaids, bridesmaids, or little page boys, you can create a fun entrance or exit rite. For example, write a funny wedding phrase on a blackboard or a sign and put it around the neck of a page boy: this will be the way to announce the arrival of the bride. And for the release, how about a flash mob with all the witnesses?

2. A rite within the rite

Emphasize your union with a rite within the rite. We are talking about the symbolic ceremony , with a very high emotional charge. There are so many to choose from and each has its own importance: the rite of light, the rite of sand, the handfasting ceremony, the hawthorn ceremony, the Celtic rite studded with the 4 natural elements (water, air, fire and earth) to finish with the ceremonies inspired by ancient ancient traditions such as the Mayan or Balinese ones.

3. Little composers

If you love music or if you feel particularly inspired in writing, you can try to compose the musical pieces of your ceremony. You can therefore take care of the melody or the words or, alternatively, hire a lyricist or composer who, based on your indications, will be able to create a completely personalized musical accompaniment for you, full of love phrase.

4. Indelible promises

The customization that you certainly cannot give up, especially during a civil ceremony, is the reading of the phrase for a promising wedding written in your hand. In this case, it is not necessary to be an exceptional lyricist, the most important thing is to be inspired by the heart, also retracing the stages of your love story. In short, for a personal ceremony, avoid drawing too much from famous quotes and love poems.

5. A touch of warmth with a ring warming

A very sweet way to involve your guests during the wedding celebration is the ring warming is commonly known as the blessing of the rings. If you have organized an intimate ceremony, with few guests, you can make sure that, before the exchange of promises, the passage of your wedding rings takes place in the hands of the guests, so as to warm them and dedicate a thought or a prayer in silence.

6. Unplugged wedding: a ceremony behind closed doors

A contrasting initiative compared to today's times is that which sees many spouses prefer the unplugged wedding or guests are kindly asked to turn off or otherwise not actively use electronic tools during the ritual, from cell phones to cameras or video cameras of all kinds. The reasons are essentially two: to reserve the exclusive rights of the images to the official photographer and to create a climate of meditation and recollection, especially during the religious ceremony. What do you think about it?

7. Love is… planting a tree

If you have planned an event in which contact with nature is a predominant dimension, one way to emphasize the beauty of this choice is the idea of planting a tree together, before the end of the ceremony. The symbology behind this initiative is truly beautiful, as is the parallelism with married life, so much so that many couples choose small trees as an original wedding favor. The tree, in fact, is a symbol of life, it grows calmly and patiently and, above all, it is necessary to look after it with constancy, so that its fruits can be harvested.

If you have good writing skills, include some excerpts of your vows among other wedding details. The placeholder wedding, for example, is an excellent solution where welcomes thoughts, messages, and written words of your fist. In this way, your guests will be able to keep an unpublished and original memory of your ceremony.
