My Tucson Wedding

Find some creative ways to infuse your ceremony with elements that are distinctly you.  Hey – it’s all about you; take back your ceremony! It is a ritual – time honored and sacred – but that does not mean your wedding ceremony has to be like every other.

My Favorite Ceremony Ideas

Offer refreshments, welcome and refresh your guests by serving lemonade, iced tea or water when the arrive for the wedding ceremony. It’s a nice touch, and your guests will appreciate the gesture.

Personalized Pew/Row Decorations

Instead of floral row makers, how about framed photos of the bride and groom tied with ribbons at the end of the row. The picture to the right shows pom poms were given to each of the guest, for a sports theme used for the wedding.

Customize your Wedding Programs

In Tucson how about a program in the shape of a fan during the Summer. Or a program that gives bios of the bridesmaids and groomsman. Or a story about the bride and groom.

The Grand Entrance

Ride in on a horse or motorcycle, or be escorted by both parents. Something different than, “Here Comes the Bride”
. There is no reason why you can’t come down the isle to one of your favorite tunes that mean something to both the bride and groom.

Mix up the Bridal Party

Who says your maid of honor must be a “maid?” If your best pal happens to be a guy, have a “man of honor.” Same goes for the best man; there’s no reason why there can’t be a “best woman.”

Try the Sand Ceremony

Instead, combine sand into a beautiful bowl or vase. The sand can be of two colors, creating a visual representation of the joining of two families and something you can keep and cherish forever.

Write your own Wedding Vows, or Readings

One way to make it more personalized is to write something personal, that you read to each other or have the officiant read. Writing your own vows is also another way, but some couples don’t feel as comfortable doing this. These spoken words expose your mind and your heart to each other and to your audience.
