Ways To Personalize Your Wedding Ceremony

5.10.22

The moment you walk down the aisle to meet your better half in front of your favorite people should be a moment to remember! If the idea of a traditional wedding ceremony sounds a little lackluster, personalizing some of the moments could be a great option for you. Through years of attending tons of weddings, we have our favorite ways to personalize your wedding ceremony!

Personalize Your Wedding Ceremony Entrance or Exit

Is there anything more fun than a wedding party dancing as they make their way down the aisle or a happy couple celebrating as they leave the ceremony? The aisle processional and recessional are awesome moments during your ceremony where there is tons of room for personalization.

Music can play a key role in your wedding ceremony before you even walk down the aisle. Work with your wedding DJ to create a playlist specifically for your ceremony. When it’s time to walk down the aisle, you can choose to have a special song play that means something to both of you, in case the classic “Here Comes The Bride” (Wagner’s Bridal Chorus) doesn’t do it for you.

If you’re feeling a bit bolder, choreograph a dance for your wedding party to literally party down the aisle as they enter. There are endless ways to make this unique!

Personally Written Wedding Vows

Here’s the thing, vows are already pretty personal. It’s a chance for each of you to express how much you mean to each other. Avoid copying and pasting your vows from something you found online. To make it personal, include your favorite memory of your better half or even your favorite things about them. Here are more of our top wedding vow writing tips to help you get personal on this meaningful day.

Officiant

Your officiant plays a major part in your ceremony. When picking your officiant, make sure you choose someone that means something to both you and your fiance. They should be someone that is rooting for both of you and your relationship. Choosing a pastor, a friend to both of you, or even a family member will be a perfect way to make the ceremony feel more personal!

Reading or Verse

It’s quite common for the bride or groom to choose a reading or bible verse to be read during their wedding ceremony. From the reading, to who does the reading, can all be meaningful ways to personalize your wedding ceremony. Bible scriptures like 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a is synonymous with wedding ceremonies: “love is patient, love is kind…” Finding a verse, poem, quote, or snippet from a book that speaks to you can help express your love through profound words.

A Different Guest List

A ceremony will truly be one of the most intimate moments of your wedding day. You’ll be promising the love between you and your fiance until death does you part. If the idea of including anyone and everyone on your guest list doesn’t quite feel right, you really don’t have to. You can decide to invite a select few guests to the ceremony that includes only your closest family and friends. The rest of your guest list could always join the celebrations during your reception!
