Three Tips For Planning Your Wedding Ceremony

There's something inherently exciting and romantic the most meaningful part of your wedding day: your ceremony. With many things to consider while planning your wedding ceremony, we've pulled together three quick tips to help you get started.1Answer The Larger Questions First Photo Via UnsplashA first step is to talk with your partner about what type of ceremony you both envision. Will it be religious, interfaith, or secular? Will the ceremony be more intimate and on the smaller side, or will you include your extended family members? What types of songs or readings do you want to include? These are difficult, but important wedding planning questions you and your partner should discuss before you head on to the next step.2Now Let's Talk Style Photo Via UnsplashFrom lavish aisle decor to a simple DIY altar or chuppah, your ceremony style sets the tone for the rest of the day. You can tell the story of your relationship through details that let your guests know who you are and what your tastes are as a couple. What do you envision? This will likely affect the date you choose, the location, and even what you wear. It may be overwhelming to think the choices you make regarding your ceremony will influence the style of your reception, but remember an overlap will help make planning down the road easier.3Don't Forget The Logistics!

Some religions require you to get married indoors, so be sure to consider this requirement. If you're thinking of having a destination wedding, double-check the laws and residency requirements; some countries require you to be a resident! And if you want a friend to marry you, be sure his or her certification is legal in the state where you'll be married.
