Wedding Ceremony at Home – 10 Planning Tips

As a wedding venue, the home continues to be a popular option. Whether the wedding ceremony is held in your own  home or in the home of a friend, guests are automatically at ease at a home wedding.

If you’re planning a home wedding, here are some things you might like to consider.

1.      Decide whether this will be an indoor or outdoor wedding.

2.      For an outdoor wedding check the long term weather report.

3.      Have an alternative plan just in case the sunny weather promised doesn’t materialise.

4.      Find a focal point for your wedding party where all the guests can see and hear you.

5.     If you have a verandah your guests could stand there while the wedding party is     arranged in the garden below. Alternatively, arrange your wedding party on the verandah while the guests look up at you.

6.    If you have one, outline the aisle with chairs, carpet, potted plants, sprinkling of petals, seas shells or glitter.

7.    Place the table and two chairs for the signing of the documents where everyone can see them.

8.     If you have pets place them at a friend’s home as even the most placid of animals can become stressed when faced with a houseful of strangers.

9.     Let your neighbours know that your wedding will be taking place and there might be some noise and an influx of cars in the street.

10. Let someone take a video of your ceremony and watch it with your guests while you have your celebratory drinks.
