Wedding trends are evolving all the time, and here’s one we are embracing with open arms: personalising your day so it’s completely unique to you. And how better to do this than have your wedding ceremony carried out by a celebrant?
What is a Celebrant?
A celebrant is someone who leads your wedding your way. They will get to know you and tailor your ceremony to perfectly reflect you as a couple. On the day they welcome your guests, tell your story, and give you space to read the vowels you have written to each other, rather than follow a set of pre-written vowels.
A Completely Personal Wedding
Rather than a cookie-cutter wedding, this new trend is allowing couples to create a perfectly unique day that tells their friends and family their own love story. A personalised touch can be injected into every aspect of your wedding, from your ceremony to your flowers, giving your wedding day it’s own uniquely memorable tone that no one else can reflect. From stationary crafted to your wedding style, to a dress that carries little bit of your history, to flowers that embody meaning that speaks of your language.
Inclusive Weddings
Celebrant led weddings inherently embrace diversity, making them increasingly appealing to couples seeking inclusivity. Couples looking to combine different cultural backgrounds and faith, or non-religious or traditional approaches can find a welcoming space in weddings curated by celebrants.
Weddings Anywhere, Anytime
You can choose the location and time of your wedding celebrations, as you are not constricted by having to celebrate at a licensed venue, registry office or church. Imagine the perfect setting, perhaps in your garden, on the beach, in the woods… Wherever is most special to you can see you set up your ceremony space, making it so much more meaningful.
The only consideration you need to take into account is that in the UK a celebrant cannot legally marry you (yet – this looks set to change in the next year or two so watch this space!), so you will need to marry in the registry office before or after your day to be married in the eyes of the law.
Don’t let this stop you though! In our opinion it’s well worth the extra time so have a wedding that truly embodies the essence of your love story. Couples changing preferences have propelled celebrant led weddings into the spotlight, marking a shift towards individualised and authentic celebrations.
At The Honey Seeker Floral Design we are all about telling your love story through the magical language of flowers – adding this extra dimension to your wedding will compliment your celebrant led celebration and add an extra layer of meaning to the most important day of your lives!
