Let’s talk about… your wedding party and where they should/could stand on your wedding day.
This is a personal choice and will be different for every couple and there is no right or wrong! “You do you” as they say. However, I like to be the “permission giver” when it comes to my couples and doing things differently.
There are many options for where your wedding party can stand/sit during your ceremony but the main 3 options I see are:
1. The wedding party stands at the front with the couple getting married on the same side as their friend getting married - for example if there is a bride and groom, the bridesmaids stand in a row next to the bride and the groomsmen stand in a row next to the groom.
2. The wedding party stand at the front but the opposite side to their friend getting married.
- for example if their are two brides named Sarah and Kate and they have 3 besties in their wedding party, Sarah’s crew stand on Kates side and Kates crew stand on Sarah’s side. This means that your crew see your face during the ceremony and can witness all your emotions.
3. The wedding party sits with the other guests (which is what I talk about in this reel) I would have your wedding party enter the ceremony as normal, I’d speak through the introduction/welcome and then ask for a round of applause for your wedding party who would then sit with the guests.
Lots of couples choose this option as it means you get some photos with your wedding party and then they can sit and watch the ceremony, taking it all in without looking at the back of your head 🙊 you wedding party could join at the end of the ceremony to follow you down the aisle as well.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you’d do for your wedding 👇🏼

| F O U R | Today marks 4 years as a registered Celebrant. 4 years 🤩❤️
It’s hard to believe that it was 5 years ago that an idea turned into a plan and then 4 years ago today 02.08.2017 a dream came true!
I sit here reflecting and what keeps coming to mind is an overwhelming sense of PRIDE.
This little business of mine is just that, it’s mine and more than that it’s me.
When you pick me as your celebrant your choosing me, Alix the person and I will forever be grateful to each and every couple who have chosen me to play such an important role on their wedding day. It is a privilege that I do not take for granted.
It’s been 4 years; 4 years of meeting amazing humans, connecting with incredible wedding suppliers, learning about small business, building connections and most importantly it’s been 4 years of learning about myself.
Thank you to each and every one of you who has supported me and my business since 2017 – I adore you all… you’re so golden ☀️
