Ebony & Alex’s Mancunian retro sci-fi wedding
This little registry office wedding in Manchester is chock full of cute references to how the pair met (Twitter!) and their sci-fi favorites. Plus, it’s totally a testament to the bride’s DIY skills — she made her own short and vintage-inspired dress! Here’s the game: find their Thunder Cats reference, Transformers detail, her something blue, and their invitation envelope quote, and you win!
What logistics should I consider for a seated bridal party?
When I stood in my brother’s bridal party I just kept wishing I could see around the maid of honor’s head and I thought “Man, being honored is great and all but I’ve got the worst seat in the house.” Plus, some of our shyer friends might feel more comfortable sitting instead of standing as a part of the show.
I can’t seem to find anything around Offbeat Bride about others with a bridal parted seated around them so I’m wondering how often it’s done and if there are any logistics I should consider.
How can I make sure guests please DON’T stand for the Bride?
One of the unspoken wedding traditions that drives me nuts is when everyone stands up for the bride. I know it’s an old tradition and it’s a respect thing (or something like that. I’m not totally positive of the background). But why just for the Bride? Is anyone planning/have you seen anyone address this? Do you ask the guests to remain seated? Do you ask them to stand as the groom comes down the aisle?
Let your absent loved ones walk you down the aisle
Photo memorials attached to your bouquet is one our our reader favorites for making sure loved ones are represented at the ceremony. I spied this little twist on Post Secret recently: the photos are attached to the bride’s shoes so they they are “walked” down the aisle.
