Ideas for Wedding Program

Warm greetings everyone! When we plan weddings, we make sure that we give every element considerable time and attention. We want all the details to contribute to the overall theme that we want to achieve. And because we only want the best, we do research and share with our clients interesting ideas that they can draw inspiration from. 

Today, we talk about wedding programs. Do you need it? Here are some of our thoughts on the issue:

1. When you are expecting many guests, do not presume that everybody knows everybody. A wedding program would do the job of introducing your entourage to your wedding guests.
2. While everybody is pretty much familiar with the sequence of a wedding ceremony, it helps to have a program they can refer to so they are guided accordingly. 
3. For practical reasons, your wedding program may well serve other purposes such as a fan for the hot weather, among many others. 

Here are some options to consider when you are planning on having wedding ceremony programs:

The accordion - a great way of getting all information in one piece of paper.

Booklet bound by ribbons

Or sewn together

A scroll perfect for a small wedding

A fan-style wedding program that should come in handy during a warm day.

While waiting for the ceremony to start, keep guests busy answering the crossword puzzle at the back of your paddle-style fan program

Print your program on brown bags and stuff them with confetti. Ask guests to shower you with confetti as you walk down the aisle as man and wife.

You can also tuck a packet of confetti on the usual booklet program

Keep everyone busy reading about your love story and every bit of information about you and your wedding by giving out a personalized newspaper wedding program

The couple's picture makes a great cover for a wedding program.

Program pockets hanging on chairs - we so love this idea we're featuring it again.

 You can even have a doorknob hanger wedding program for guest to bring home and use at home

Here's another fun idea- origami wedding program!

If you do not want to bother with the printed programs, you can just put up a chalkboard with everything there is to know about your wedding ceremony.

Your Engagement Photo Session - Use your photos!

 

 Hello Lots of Love Readers!

One of the exciting parts of the wedding preparation is the engagement photoshoot. Couples find time to have their pictures taken to celebrate their engagement and to share the good news to their friends and relatives. Originally, engagement photos were taken in a studio but these days, it's out and about for everyone, allowing for couples to easily choose real backdrops that reflect their personal style. 

Engagement photos are sometimes used in wedding invitations, but more often than not, couples use their favorite engagement session photo for save-the-date cards.

To share the news in the most matter-of-fact way, some couples make sure to include a photo with the engagement ring in the save-the dates.

Sometimes, couples are lucky enough to have photos of the proposal itself!

Save-the-date cards are sent in advance to give guests ample time to calendar the event date and for all the out-of-towners, to make preparations for their trip for the wedding.

Engagement photos  may also be integrated into the whole wedding theme.

You can include varied engagement pictures in the program:

For Summer weddings, couples can use engagement photos on fans for the outdoor ceremony:

They can also be showcased at the wedding reception:
For example: a Welcome board...

 

...or Table Numbers

...or a photo book for guests to sign and write well wishes in, instead of the traditional guest sign-in book:

They can also be mounted on a wall like an art display, for everyone to see

 Or even displayed floating in the air

We love the idea of an engagement photo as the cover of a personalized CD with the couple’s favorite songs

Personalize your wedding by filling it with things that you and your partner love. And don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the occasion!
