[Ultimate Edition] Have You Decided on Your Wedding Ceremony Ideas? A Comprehensive Guide to Classic Elements!

What kind of performances will you have at your wedding?

When it comes to wedding coordination, performances, and decorations, the classic items that come to mind are...

Balloons, flowers (bouquets), and candles are often seen at weddings.

In this article, we have summarized performance ideas that can be done using these classic items.

Item 1: Balloons

Speaking of balloons, the classic balloon release is a well-known performance. A balloon release is a performance where many balloons are released into the sky at once.

The sight of many balloons being released into the sky is truly breathtaking!

@melino0530

The meaning of balloons is wonderful as well.

The meaning of a balloon release is, "May the happiness of the couple reach the heavens." They are sent off with the wish that it reaches the gods high above or their loved ones.

(You can also write messages on the balloons ♩)

@waka7.129

The balloons used at weddings are made from natural materials that are environmentally friendly, so there's no worry when releasing them. Recently, it's become popular to attach seeds to the balloons before releasing them—imagine the romance of the seeds released at a wedding blooming into flowers around the world!

[Performance Idea 1] Drop & Fly at a venue with a garden

Just releasing balloons might feel too ordinary for some!? For those people, we recommend Drop & Fly. Drop & Fly involves using balloons with weights and water-soluble strings similar to those in goldfish scooping.

When you throw the balloons into a pool (Drop), the water-soluble string dissolves, causing the balloons to float away (Fly) in a delightful performance♡

@maapipi0428

It may just seem like you're floating balloons on the pool, but they take off in a staggered manner—it's a special performance that gives guests an unexpected surprise! Here is a YouTube video showing how it actually looks:

[Performance Idea 2] Spark Balloons at the venue!

Balloon sparks are a novel performance where the newlyweds pop a large balloon filled with colorful mini balloons or confetti (Spark).

The big sound and the floating balloons are true entertainment! It's also a popular surprise performance for guests♡

If it's done at the guest tables, guests can catch the balloons that pop out, and get a prize based on the color of the balloon they catch—a nice touch!

Recently, it's also popular to use gender reveal balloons to announce the gender of a baby.

If pink comes out, it's a girl; if blue comes out, it's a boy♡

[Performance Idea 3] Holding balloons during the second entrance

Holding balloons as an item for the second entrance is also recommended.

The bubble balloons from Marry are about 40 cm in size, making them quite eye-catching. It's adorable to have the words Groom and Bride on separate balloons being held by each of them♡

➡ Here is the order page for bubble balloons＊

There are even more performances using balloons...

There are so many performances that utilize balloons! If you want to see all of them, take a look at this video. It's long at 11 minutes, but definitely worth watching for brides-to-be who are considering performances involving balloons♡

Item 2: Bouquet

A bouquet is an essential wedding item for brides♡ A bouquet can be used for various performances, not just for holding.

[Bouquet Performance Idea 1] Bouquet Toss

When talking about performances using a bouquet, the first one that comes to mind is the bouquet toss♡ The bouquet toss is said to be "sharing happiness," and it's a tradition that the woman who catches the bouquet will be the next bride＊

Receiving a bouquet from a bride full of happiness guarantees good fortune♡ Even if no one catches it, it’s still a lively, classic ceremony.

Just when you think there will be a bouquet toss... Surprise, the bouquet is handed to your best friend instead♡ You have to see the rest of this touching surprise in the video!↓

[Bouquet Performance Idea 2] Bouquets with Ribbons: Bouquet Pulls

Nowadays, many brides choose to do a bouquet pull instead of a bouquet toss♡ A bouquet pull involves attaching many ribbons to the bouquet for guests to pull on＊

One ribbon is connected to the bouquet, while the others are connected to charms♩ It's a wonderful performance where you can win a cute charm even if you don't catch the bouquet♡

It avoids the competition of fighting over the bouquet (!), and since it doesn’t involve throwing the bouquet, you can gift your cherished bouquet♡

Some brides request their staff to hide the bouquet for someone special, surprising their engaged friends!

@momoca_wd_0415

Additionally, performing a bouquet pull with a balloon bouquet is also recommended＊

[Bouquet Performance Idea 3] Proposing Again!? Dozen Roses

By the way, do you know why brides carry bouquets?

In Europe, there was a long-standing custom where a man proposing to his girlfriend would pick flowers on his way to her house and present the bouquet when he arrived—as a traditional proposal＊

This is said to be the origin of wedding bouquets.

@milkwd1104

The proposed girlfriend would take one flower from the bouquet as a sign of acceptance and place it in the man's breast pocket, which is said to be the origin of the boutonniere♡

Performing this romantic ceremony at the wedding is what we call the "Dozen Roses."♩

@ikemegu1988

What kind of ceremony is it?

The Dozen Roses ceremony uses 12 roses.

Each rose symbolizes gratitude, sincerity, happiness, trust, hope, affection, passion, truth, respect, glory, effort, and eternity.

@ikemegu1988

You could place one of these 12 roses at each table or have the bridesmaids distribute them to the guests.

@mi.8877

Then the groom receives the roses from the guests and goes to welcome the bride as she enters, proposing to her before everyone!

The bride chooses one rose from the 12 roses whose meaning she resonates with and decorates the groom's chest with it.

This sequence of events constitutes the Dozen Roses ceremony, pledging love to one another.♡

Make sure to have the emcee introduce the origin of the bouquet and the meanings hidden within the 12 roses as well.

Item 3: Candles

There are also many performances using candles♡ How many do you know? Let's check!

[Candle Performance Idea 1] Candle Service

When it comes to candles, there's the classic candle service! Candle service is a staple of weddings＊ Light candles at each guest’s table to embellish the venue...♡

Candles symbolize "devoted love" and "unconditional love" as they sacrifice their own wax for light＊ They also contain the wish for the happiness of the guests who came to celebrate the couple♡

@s.1014.wedding_o

There’s definitely a reason why such a classic has enduring popularity! Recently, more elaborate performances have been introduced even after the candle service.♩

[Candle Performance Idea 2] Have you heard of the Blow Out Ceremony?

The Blow Out Ceremony refers to extinguishing the flame that was lit during the candle service＊ This signifies "encapsulating happiness."♡

Re-entering with the candle service and then concluding with the Blow Out Ceremony is so lovely＊

@s.e.0805.wedding

Dim the lights and envelop the room in silence after the candles go out, allowing everyone to wish for happiness together... This is a performance you definitely want to include if you're doing a candle service＊ Check out this wonderful video that features fireworks after the blow out:

[Candle Performance Idea 3] Candle Night Wedding

A night wedding that starts after dark is the epitome of romance＊ It’s popular to illuminate the venue with many candles to create an ultra-romantic atmosphere.

@little.h___

Night weddings are perfect for creating an elegant ambiance that can immerse you in the happiness of the newlyweds♡

It’s also recommended to have a night wedding in the garden＊ Lining candles along the poolside reflects beautifully off the water♪

@ay0401w

There are still many wedding performances out there♡

We have introduced many performances using classic items, but there are still more available for weddings! The best part is that you can create your very own original performance ♡
