Wedding Tips

Wedding Planning Tips that Make a Difference

Use great wedding planning tips to make a difference!  As Brisbane’s really good professional Marriage Celebrant, I am often asked about wedding hints and tips for ceremonies.  Every ceremony is different, however some tips apply to all wedding ceremonies.

Goodluck Horsehoe

Goodluck Horseshoe

We often overlook the really important areas of planning a wedding.  Some areas are so commonplace that we take them for granted and we hope that they will ‘look after themselves’.  We hope that we will have ‘good luck’ and that everything will go smoothly.  Brides often carry wedding charms or keepsakes such as a horseshoe to assure good luck on the day.  These are fun, however they do not guarantee that good luck will follow.

Of course you want your wedding ceremony to be breathtaking!  After all it is your special day and you expect that your ceremony will flow smoothly and be absolutely delightful.

Important Wedding Areas

Wedding ceremonies must contain the legal requirements, however just meeting the legal requirements for a marriage ceremony does not meet the requirements for an enjoyable ceremony.  Here are a few helpful wedding planning tips that I hope will help you to make your ceremony, simply the best!

  • Choose the people and services for your wedding ceremony very carefully. The success of the occasion depends on the choices you make.  How well do people understand each other?  How respectful they are of each other’s wishes?
  • Communicate at all stages of the process – planning, arriving at the venue, entrances, where people are required to stand, what they do during the ceremony and what happens at the close of the ceremony.  Don’t fall into the trap of “Oh I though you knew that…” or “Why wasn’t I told…” or “I didn’t know you wanted me to do that…”.  Keep everyone in the communication loop, including your guests.
  • Inform your celebrant of the arrangements. A really good marriage celebrant works with other service providers, eg photographers, event planners, directors and venue staff.  They encourage your guests to feel comfortable.  Everyone is there to help make this very special occasion a memorable one for all the right reasons.  Your celebrant has a big responsibility.  He or she is in charge of the ceremony!

Episode 1: Love blooms

Dolls are different, or are they? a pegdoll production

Love blooms for Peg & Pog.

Peg & Pog feature in the micro-series “Dolls are Different, or are they?” which follows the fortunes of all involved in planning a peg doll wedding.  This delightful micro-series that will enchant all those who are young at heart and all those who wish to be!  Peg & Pog have their own language of love, and helped (or hindered?) by various members of their families, they embark on the uncertain journey of planning a peg doll wedding.

Love Blooms

Peg & Pog ‘discover’ each other in the local park.   Peg and her little, 8-year-old brother, DP, take a walk in the park.  The sun is shining, and Peg stops to smell the roses while DP decides to … well, that would be giving the story away!  It is enough to say that there is action, drama, pathos and happy endings.

Peg is a girl who knows love when she sees it! She is kind, considerate and quick off the mark.  Pog is a boy who also knows love when he sees it!  He is kind, considerate and quick off the mark (and handsome, talented, etc, etc).

Does Peg really know what love is all about?  How can Peg tell what true love actually feels like?

Does Peg expect too much?  What does Peg really want the love of her life to do for her?

Does Pog really know what love is all about?  How does Pog know what the language of love actually sounds like?

Does Pog expect enough?  Is love enough?  What does Pog expect of love and life?

These questions and many more occupy the thoughts of the little lovers as they meet, ‘fall’ in love and start to plan their wedding.

You are sure to identify some of the situations, reactions, character profiles, personality traits that are present in your family or in families that you know.  After all, dolls are different, or are they?

All dolls and the creator/director/producer etc etc, Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, hope that you enjoy Episode 1: Love Blooms

Romantic Wedding Ceremony Ideas

Romantic Wedding Ceremony Ideas

How romantic are you?  Do you love romantic moments but need some help with ideas?  A personalised ring ceremony is not only a lovely and special touch but also adds that romantic touch to a wedding ceremony.

The bringing of the wedding rings

Delightful, romantic wedding ceremony!

A small and very excited group of guests gather in a high-rise apartment in the inner Brisbane City for an intimate, micro wedding.  Lots of smiles, laughter, taking of photos and introductions all round.  We are very relaxed and thoroughly enjoying the moment!

The most romantic wedding ring ceremony

Gasps of delight from the guests and the widest of smiles from the Bride and Groom express the happy, warm feelings!  Everyone is sharing the love.  This ring ceremony is based on the Celtic tradition of ‘bringing’ and ‘placing’ of the wedding  rings and is quite different to the traditional exchanging rings.  This charming ring ceremony expresses the significance and symbolism of wedding rings shared by the Bride and Groom.  A very old, traditional ring ceremony lost in the mists of time, yet very modern!

The wedding rings are brought by the Bride and Groom and are touched by only them.  See the Bride’s ring in the photo, it is the one with the pink bow!  The Groom places his wedding ring in the Bride’s hand and gives his personal wedding vow, then it is the Bride’s turn.  Beautiful moment!

I just love to create these magic moments for couples.  Personalise your romantic ring ceremony with your unique bringing of the rings, giving and receiving of the rings, and exchanging the rings.

I love to hear your ideas, hopes and dreams and share with you many more romantic wedding ceremony ideas.

Are you are a true romantic who delights in the personalised touches to weddings?  Now is the time to lodge the Notice of Intention to Marry with me!
