Selection and arrangement of wedding venue in church

As a western culture, church wedding is gradually merging into China. This novel, fashionable, solemn and romantic wedding form is gradually favored by urban white-collar workers and intellectuals.

Before you make the overall planning, you will definitely choose the venue of the ceremony and invite the master of ceremonies or priests. Because the fees and specific requirements vary from place to place, it is necessary for you to ask in advance what restrictions and specific fees there are. Many places are free, or can be used with a small donation, while some places require fees or special permission.

Due to the close activities of the church, only a few minutes to a few hours will be reserved for the newcomers to decorate, so the layout should not be too complicated and fancy, but simple, such as painting the reception desk a little and putting some flowers next to the VIP table, but the decoration should be as simple as possible to facilitate cleaning up the venue afterwards.

Seating arrangements for church weddings

Of course, you must choose a place big enough to hold the ceremony. You need to reserve some seats in the front row for your closest family. Traditionally, the bride's parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters sit on the left in the first row. If the bride's parents are divorced and want to sit separately, then the bride's mother can sit in the first row with her current husband, and the father and his wife can sit in the second row. Other special relatives can also sit in the second and third rows. The groom's family also sits on the right hand side in the same way.

When your guests arrive, the best man will show them to their seats. Like the bride's family, the bride's guests sit on the left and the groom's guests sit on the right. But if there are many people on one side, the easiest way is to let them sit on both sides casually, so that they can watch the ceremony well. The best man should ask the female guests to sit down with his right hand, so that the male guests don't have to worry about these. If a large number of guests arrive at the same time, the elderly will be given priority.

A variety of choices are enough to make your ceremony unique. In addition to carefully selecting ritual music, vows and prayers, we should also determine some fixed habits or learn from other forms according to our own cultural and emotional background. For example, candlelight ceremony has always been a fixed form of church wedding, but now it has become a popular form of cross-cultural communication. There should be three big white candles on the aisle, two of which symbolize that the love between newlyweds will last forever. After taking the oath, the couple lights the third candle, which is the "concentric candle"

General process of formal wedding day:
