The thought of walking down the aisle to exchange vows with that one person you’ve always dreamed of growing old with certainly sends you shiver. And now that it’s about to become a reality as your wedding day approaches, you want nothing but to make the event as romantic as possible, particularly the wedding ceremony. Below are some wonderful tips for you to keep in mind.
Pick the right colors
Brides know how important it is to choose the right color for the wedding. But they think it’s only for aesthetic purposes. What most don’t know is that the choice of hues can contribute to the romantic atmosphere. Make your wedding ceremony like a fairy tale by picking colors like pink, silver, white, or dark red. These shades evoke love and romance more than any other color.
Pay attention to the lighting
Lights can add magic to your wedding ceremony. Fill the altar with candle lights, lit up the aisle with candles inside mason jars, and put on some decorative lighting effects all over the venue. The use of yellow-toned lights adds more romance into the air than white or other light colors. Just be careful not to over-do it. Strategic placing of lights can spell the difference between a romantic venue and one that makes guests grab their sunglasses.
Say your own vows
There’s nothing sweeter than saying the wedding vows in your own words. Instead of going for the cookie-cutter for better or for worse vow, you and your groom should take the time to write the vows in your own words to let each other know how you both feel about spending the rest of your lives together. You don’t have to be a poet to get this right. Just be sincere and tap into your innermost feelings to be able to give a romantic vow that would surely touch your spouse-to-be.
Choose meaningful music
Music plays a very important role in setting the tone of any event. This is why, it’s imperative that you’re able to choose the right songs for every part of the ceremony from the processional to the bride’s walk down the aisle to the exchange of rings. Don’t rely too heavily on the cliché wedding songs that you’ve heard a thousand times before. Instead, look for those that are not only romantic but also hold a special meaning to both of you.
Use natural fabric
Using natural fabric to decorate the ceremony venue will do wonders in enhancing the romantic feeling. One popular choice that you would also want to consider is flax. This material is not only warm and sweet but also environment-friendly. Avoid shiny and shimmery materials that would make it seem more grandiose than solemn and romantic.
Sing to your beau
If you prefer to do the traditional vow, one way to up the romantic mood is to sing it to your beau. If you have a voice of an angel, this would definitely send the guests and of course, your spouse-to-be in tears. Exchange roles if your beau is the one who’s better in singing.
Give each other special memoir
Apart from exchanging rings as a sign of your love for each other, you may also give special memoirs. Don’t just choose any object that you find. Choose something that has a special meaning for the both of you. Then give it to your spouse-to-be as a symbol of your lasting love and affection.
Let butterflies flutter
During the ceremony, especially for the parts where you will exchange vows or give each other the rings, have your bridesmaids release butterflies into the air. This will give some kind of fairytale flair to the event.
Have fireworks when you kiss
Delegate someone to set up the fireworks just in time for the “You May Kiss the Bride” part. It doesn’t only make the ambience romantic but also serve as a symbol of how you two felt when you first kissed.
Send out balloons during the recessional
At the last part of the wedding ceremony when you and your groom walks out of the church (or other venue), let balloons fly to the sky while the guests throw petals and rice grains on you.
Having a romantic wedding ceremony isn’t so difficult to achieve with these special tips. Don’t limit your ideas to these ones. Explore beyond these suggestions and ask your beau too for more ideas.
