Today\u2019s brides and grooms at our West Orange, New Jersey wedding venue<\/a> are active participants in their wedding rehearsals. They know what they want, and they\u2019re not afraid to speak up about any changes they wish to make in any element of their wedding celebration. So at the wedding rehearsal, you are perfectly within your rights to request changes on anything from the lineup order of your bridesmaids to the speed at which you wish to walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n

\"Wedding

Wedding Rehearsal<\/p><\/div>\n

Here are the top details that may be up for discussion and change at your wedding rehearsal:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tThe order in which you\u2019d like your bridesmaids to walk in the processional and thus stand during the ceremony. Some brides like the look of a tallest-to-shortest order, to avoid any presumption of favoritism or ranking among bridesmaids.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tThe order in which you\u2019d like the groomsmen to stand next to the groom, again arranging by height, or by what the groom feels would be a natural order.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tThe positioning of your two maids of honor, or your groom\u2019s two best men, according to the roles you\u2019ve assigned them. One maid of honor, for instance, may be the one to hold your bouquet during the ring exchange, while the other may be the one to sign your NJ marriage license.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tThe order and pairings in which your bridesmaids and groomsmen will walk in the recessional. When you have an uneven number of bridesmaids, one groomsman may escort two bridesmaids down the aisle, for instance.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tChild attendants\u2019 walk down the aisle in the processional, including if they will each walk alone, in pairs, or holding the hand of a bridesmaid.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tWhere child attendants will sit or stand during the ceremony. It often works best for child attendants to sit in the front row during the ceremony, to reduce distractions.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tThe reading of vows. If you find that it\u2019s too nerve-wracking to memorize your vows, you may ask the officiant to read them off line-by-line, for you to repeat more comfortably.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tHow you will be introduced as husband and wife.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tThe location and order of the receiving line, if you wish to have one.<\/p>\n

Additional, non-ceremony elements such as where the guest book will be placed and where wedding programs will be located at the wedding ceremony venue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some elements cannot be changed if they are already printed in your wedding programs, such as the order of the readings or the musical performance, but much of the wedding ceremony is yours to fine-tune as you wish.<\/p>\n

Best,
