Next, the groomsmen and bridesmaids enter, almost always arm-in-arm. After that comes the flower girl and ring bearer. The flower girl and ring bearer are traditionally young children. The ring bearer holds the rings on a pillow while the flower girl scatters petals behind her. After they enter, the maid or matron of honor walks down the aisle, often on the arm of a groomsman. The processional music will stop after this and the Wedding March music will begin. The bride enters on the arm of her father or male escort and the guests stand in honor.

The wedding ceremony speech is one of the most important parts of your wedding day. This speech is given by the officiant prior to the exchange of vow and varies depending on your religious tradition and personal preference. If you are of a particular religious persuasion, your officiant may have a speech that he always gives at weddings. For example, a Christian wedding will include prayer and reading of Scripture in addition to a speech that talks about the sacred joining of husband and wife in a Biblical way. A Jewish wedding will include readings from the Torah and may also include Hebrew prayer. Tags: Wedding Ceremony Speech

Part of choosing the decor is choosing your wedding colors. Most brides select two wedding colors, or sometimes three. You might select your favorite colors. Or, you might have one color that is your favorite and one color that is the groom's favorite. Another idea is to choose colors that reflect the season in which you are being wed. For example, a spring wedding is perfect for light pastels and sunny shades. A summer wedding is a great time for tropical bright shades. In fall, go for warm autumn shades like pumpkin orange. In winter you can go holiday with red and green or snowy with shades of midnight blue, white and silver. Tags: Wedding Ceremony Decor
