Your wedding ceremony is the most important part of the big day. And its design and length are all up to you, the couple being married. But few people have given much thought to the length and specifics of their wedding ceremony. If you're among those who aren't sure what to do with your time at the altar, here are a few key elements that will determine the right length of time.
Are you planning to have your wedding in your backyard? If so, it brings some challenges that do not come up with having the wedding at a venue. While you normally have all the basics supplied for you at the venue for the ceremony and reception, many of those items now need to be rented. Here are some things to consider when deciding on your essential wedding rentals.
Chairs
You need to have chairs for everyone to sit in, so you'll have to decide what kind of chairs you want and how many you want to get.
You spend a lot of time before the wedding picking out the perfect gown, but don't forget about it after you say "I do." Although you'll probably never wear the dress again, it's a sentimental item that you may want to pass down to your children, so treat it with plenty of TLC.
The preservation of your gown begins even before the wedding. To make sure that the dress looks its best on the big day and for years after, always keep it in a garment bag, and transport it laying flat in the vehicle.
