Take “wedding in the round” to the next level: set up stations for your ceremony

At a Glance

In a typical wedding in the round, guests surround the couple for the duration of the ceremony. Sometimes guests are seated, sometimes they stand, sometimes they’re arrayed in a circle around the couple, and we’ve even seen them arranged in a spiral! Adam and Lynn went a step further. A few steps actually. They walked around the circle themselves, stopping at different stations to complete their ceremony.

You’ve probably at least heard of the term “wedding in the round” before. If you haven’t, no judgment — we’ve got you covered. In a typical wedding in the round, guests surround the couple for the duration of the ceremony. Sometimes guests are seated, sometimes they stand, sometimes they’re arrayed in a circle around the couple, and we’ve even seen them arranged in a spiral!

Adam and Lynn went a step further. A few steps actually. They walked around the circle themselves, stopping at different stations to complete their ceremony. I’ll let Lynn describe it herself:

“… each set of the attendants were stationed a few feet apart to create a circle within the tables of guests. We began at our officiant, who began the ceremony, and then we proceeded to each set of attendants. Each set performed a piece of the ceremony; readings, vows, rings, etc. We completed the circle by ending up back at our officiant who… pronounced us man and wife. Everyone felt very involved, and it made it so personal.”

I love this idea especially if you’ve got a ton of people you’d love to include in your wedding. What an intentional way to really focus on each aspect of your ceremony!
