Newcomer: Zhao Jia Guo Zi.

Wedding date: August 2005 18.

"We like the open-air environment, warm and romantic, and let the blue sky and the earth witness our eternity."

●5: 10 preparation

Guo Zi and Zhao Jia arrive at Kerry Center at 5pm, and the open-air garden has been arranged properly. My eyes are full of natural lake blue, and even the chair is not spared. Champagne tower, ice sculpture and other large props are exquisite and elegant. In the words of friends who attended the wedding, it was this blue color that made the outdoor temperature as high as 33 degrees Celsius that day less uncomfortable.

Most couples think that the wedding ceremony can be carried out according to tradition and will not spend too much energy on the ceremony. In fact, with a little more thought, your ceremony can be different.

Personality elements in the ceremony

Every bride wants to make her wedding full of personality, so add a little personality to your ceremony!

But there are some traditional ceremony links that you need to know, such as: how to choose the wedding ceremony area that suits you best?

What is the order of admission for newcomers? Shall we read the oath first or lift the veil first at the ceremony? All problems should be solved in advance.

Ceremony place

Just like choosing a wedding dress, you should choose a ceremony place that suits you. Whether you choose a grand traditional church wedding or a fresh and natural garden lawn wedding, it will be the most appropriate expression of your love for your fiance.

The choice of wedding location will affect the style and type of wedding, because your whole layout should be suitable for the surrounding environment.

If you have long dreamed of holding a wedding in a small village church, choose a warm candlelight.

Wedding, then, the ceremony will be very simple, and the arrangement of flowers and scenes will be naturally simple. Then add a fairy-tale romantic atmosphere to the wedding with fragrant bouquets and warm candlelight.

If you like the sea, you can hold a wedding at the seaside and let the sea witness it for you. Choose a place where you can see the sea, or on a soft beach. On a summer weekend, you walked through the tunnel paved with shells with him and made your vows.

If you choose a hotel to hold a wedding, usually the hotel staff will introduce you to some places where the ceremony is usually held. If you don't want to be like others, you can take a closer look and find a place that suits you better.

No matter where you choose to hold the wedding, there must be a center at the ceremony place of each wedding. The center of a church wedding is of course the altar. Choose to hold the ceremony elsewhere. If there is a small pavilion in this place, it can become the center of the ceremony with a little decoration. You can also use arches, tents and umbrellas filled with green flowers, or you can choose shrubs and potted plants, as long as they look creative and there are no special restrictions.

Bride Tip: For any ceremony, the most important thing is to create an intimate atmosphere. If the place you choose has 300 seats and your guests only have 125 seats, you should encourage them to sit in the front. It's best to arrange ushers, who can take the guests directly to the front.

seating arrangement

If it is a small wedding attended by only family and close friends, just leave a few seats for the elders in advance. For large-scale weddings, it is necessary to prepare seat cards to reduce the time for guests to find seats.

Traditionally, the bride's family sits on the left and the groom's family sits on the right. The closer the relationship, the more you sit in the front position. Elders and siblings sit in the first row on the left. If parents are divorced and want to sit separately, it depends on which side has a better relationship with their parents. If you have a good relationship with your father, you can let your father and current wife sit in the first row and your mother sit in the second row.

For a big wedding, all the problems can be solved with a seat card. Write the guest's name on each seat card and put it on the seat or back of the chair. The design of the seat card must be eye-catching You can write the guest's name by hand to show your respect for the guest.

Bride tip: For the convenience of sitting, put a seat map in front of the check-in desk, and guests will find their seats easily. For those who need help, the usher will also take them to their seats.

Stereo equipment

The microphone will make some brides and grooms feel uncomfortable, but it is very important. Because of it, the guests present can hear your wedding vows.

Unless it is a very small wedding, you must use a microphone. Especially beautifully decorated outdoor weddings,

If the wind happens to be in the same direction as the guest's seat, no one can hear the oath that the priest led you to read.

If you think the vertical microphone will affect the beauty of the photo, you can choose the collar-clip microphone. There is no problem for the groom and the priest to use the collar-clip microphone, but it is a challenge for the bride's dress. If you can't hide, you have to set up a microphone in front of the bride!

Bride's Tip: Before the wedding, you must test the sound in advance to ensure that all the equipment in the ceremony can work normally, and the sound can be heard by all the people present, not too harsh.

Provide drinks for the guests before the ceremony.

Set up a bar near the ceremony venue. When the guests arrive at the ceremony, the waiter can provide them with non-alcoholic cold drinks and decorate them with fresh mint and lemon to make them more eye-catching.

Drinks to choose from include:

1, add fresh mint branches of iced tea.

2. A drink made by adding soda water to fresh lemon water.

3. Add a drink made of lavender or rosemary to fresh lemon water.

4. Add lemon slices or lime slices to carbonated drinks.

5. Mix half iced tea and half lemonade together and add fresh mint.

6. Add mint leaves to the lime juice.

7. Juice squeezed from raspberries, blueberries and passion fruits is decorated with fresh berries and fruit slices.

Bride tip: If the ceremony is short, you can prepare some alcoholic drinks for the guests. Otherwise, it would be bad for someone to make jokes in the middle of the ceremony because of drunkenness.

Ceremony rehearsal

Unless your wedding is only five minutes, you should arrange a rehearsal, and remember that everyone who walks the red carpet should attend the rehearsal.

The rehearsal is usually on the wedding day or the night before, and the rehearsal dinner is followed by the ceremony rehearsal.

The number of people attending the rehearsal includes: the groom, the bride, the best man, the bridesmaid, the groom's father, the priest, flower girl and Jietong.

Determine the location of the ceremony platform and passage. When everyone arrives at the ceremony site, first tell them the location of the altar or ceremony platform, and the location of the red carpet should be marked with ribbons or other colored things so that people attending the rehearsal can see it clearly.

Make clear the order and location of everyone's admission. Usually the groom stands at the ceremony table and waits, and then the best man and the bridesmaid come out. The best man stands in front of the groom's right and the bridesmaid stands in front of the bride's left. When the best man and maid of honor came to the stage, Jietong appeared. When Jietong walked into the middle of the aisle, flower girl scattered petals on the carpet, and then the bride walked across the red carpet accompanied by her father. Then the bride walked down the red carpet accompanied by her father. Pay attention to walking slower than usual.

Number of rehearsals. Depending on the complexity of the ceremony, you can rehearse 2-3 times or even more until everyone can play their roles well, especially Hua Tong and Jie Tong, who are very young.

After the rehearsal, I will tell you the exact time and place to arrive at the wedding for the last time.

Bride Tip: Wedding rehearsal is recommended for photographers and cameramen. On the one hand, the photographer can choose the shooting position in advance. On the other hand, it also stipulates the places where photos can be taken, otherwise the photographer's photos will affect the order of the ceremony.
