Bride's Side and Groom's Side seating at Wedding Ceremonies are becoming less common than it used to be, especially at more relaxed, intimate weddings. Most people have seen the signs reading "As two families become one, pick a seat not a side." But what about these signs as alternatives? Etsy Sweet, simple, and straight forward - so cute! Bayside Bride I adore this one with it's reference to the bride and groom's home states! Such a fun personalized touch! Every Last Detail This one's great if most of your guest are mutual friends. It's a fun simple way to show them they are special to both of you. This one's my favorite though: Pinterest It's beautiful for one, but I'm loving the whimsical pun too! I love the nod to the upcoming commitment you'll make. Which is your favorite?

This Unity Ceremony idea is best for an outdoor ceremony, for obvious reasons. I found it on Every Last Detail and loved it for the idea itself as well as for the symbolism it held for the bride and groom. Every Last Detail In her words: We also put our own spin on the unity part of the ceremony because we both come from divorced and remarried parents. We wanted a way to include everyone and stress that we feel blessed to have had more than just two parents each. This will all make more sense if I explain that the ceremony was held under an ancient Water Oak tree, for which our venue was named. About a month before the ceremony, we collected eight tiny saplings that had sprouted underneath the tree with the hopes that one would survive. Sadly, they all shriveled up almost immediately – that is, until about a week later, when all of the sudden, one tree started sprouting new leaves. By the time the wedding arrived, it was still thriving, so during our ceremony, we planted it by having ...

Many of my couples lately want to do a unity ritual during their ceremony, but want something different than candles or sand. I've come across some really neat ideas lately and thought I'd share. First one up - A Unity Glass Ceremony! Unity In Glass So here's how it works: Unity in Glass is a company that will create stunning, one-of-a-kind art sculptures from glass pieces that you blend together during your ceremony. Unity In Glass Ceremony The different colors come in separate packets shipped to you. You both mix them together (similar to a sand ceremony) then shipped the mixed colors back to them where they hand blow the glass into sculptures, bowls, heart weights, or even ornaments! Unity In Glass Unity In Glass I love how individual each piece becomes and how it creates a lasting piece of art that you'll be able to display. On their website they talk about using some of your leftover pieces to create ornaments for parent gifts - how special is that?! I've tal...

I have a bit of a pumpkin obsession...seriously, they are everywhere at my house! My boys actually paint me ceramic pumpkins every year as special Fall keepsakes. We've got quite the family painted pumpkin patch going! Anyways, I digress.... I saw THIS painted pumpkin and thought - perfect for a classy Autumn Wedding!! Monogram Pumpkin via The Butlers It's just so elegant and pops beautifully against the bright orange and gold! Turns out, it's an easy DIY project too! Click here for the full list of instructions.  All you need is a pumpkin (real or fake), creme spray paint and painters tape (to tape off the stem), and black (or color of your wedding) for the monogram.
