    • Pre-Ceremony Cocktail Hour
      Why not? Plan on having 30minutes before the ceremony for guests to enjoy some cocktails and orderves before your ceremony. Then you'll know they are concentrated during the ceremony and not trying to bolt to the bar after.
    • Ceremony Wine Box & Love Letter
      Write love notes to each other and exchange them during the ceremony without opening them. Place them in a box with wine. Years later when things aren't as perfect as the wedding day you can open the box and remember how much you love each other.

    • Release Butterflies
      It's the most beautiful ending to a ceremony I've ever seen. The butterflies come almost frozen in envelopes. Take them out of the cooler a couple hours before the ceremony. By the time you're ready to process down the aisle they are ready to be released by your guests and fly away. They will often linger or land on guests for great photos.
