I Want to Know Wonderful Productions for the Ceremony to Pledge Lifelong Love

Weddings consist of the "ceremony," where vows are exchanged, and the "reception," where guests are entertained. While we can think of many productions for the reception, such as outfit changes and fun performances, how many ideas can you come up with for the important ritual of the ceremony?

This time, I will introduce 16 productions for weddings that you may know but not really know about the ceremony and the time until the reception. You're sure to find some productions you want to incorporate! ♡

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 2* Dozen Roses Ceremony

The Dozen Roses Ceremony is a ritual where the groom collects 12 roses from the guests as he enters and presents them to the bride at the end. This act is reminiscent of an old custom where young Europeans proposed by gathering wildflowers. ♩

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 3* Flower Girl and Ring Bearer

Next is a production you might want to incorporate when there are child guests! The flower girl is a kid who scatters petals along the aisle before the bride and her father enter the ceremony. This signifies avoiding evil spirits and purifying the path! ♡

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 5* Ring Relay

The Ring Relay is a production where all the guests pass the wedding rings to the bride and groom in a relay fashion. The rings are threaded through a long ribbon, and the guests move them toward the bride and groom! ♡

This guest-participation production is rare for ceremonies; when the wedding rings safely arrive at the bride and groom, there will be applause from the guests! ♡ Since it is a collaborative effort, it fosters a sense of unity.

The Engage Cover Ceremony is when the wedding rings are exchanged, and then the engagement rings are put on top. It has the meaning of "sealing the couple's eternal love and bond"! ♡ This is a wonderful production where the engagement ring, which is not generally featured in weddings, takes center stage. ♩

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 8* Unity Candle

The Unity Candle is a standard wedding ceremony in Western countries. It is still a rare production that few Japanese brides incorporate. Three candles are set up, and representatives from both families light the candles on either side. The bride and groom then take those candles and light the central candle! ♩

The flames of the two candles coming together symbolize the birth of a new family! ♡ It is a very romantic production. I expect to see more brides incorporating this in the future! ♩

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 9* Wedding Box

A wedding box (also known as a wine box) is where the bride and groom put a bottle of wine and a letter inside a wooden box in front of the guests and hammer it shut. They then open it several years later on their wedding anniversary to enjoy! ♡ It’s lovely, like a time capsule! ♩

It is also called a "trouble box," where couples may open it to remember their wedding day when they fight or have conflicts. A production that you might want to include in a free wedding ceremony! ♡

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 10* Closing Kiss

The closing kiss is when the bride and groom share a kiss just before they exit! ♡ Kissing behind the closing door may cause guests to erupt in cheers! There are various variations such as a closing hug or a princess carry! ♡

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 11* XX Shower

From here, we move on to productions that we’d like to do in the welcome space or garden after the ceremony, leading up to the reception.

One of the classic productions that bless the couple after their vows is the flower shower! ♡ Recently, there are various shower productions such as pearl showers, rice showers, and bubble showers! These also create excellent photo opportunities for stunning wedding photos. ♩

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 13* Bouquet Pulls

Bouquet pulls involve attaching several ribbons to the bouquet and letting unmarried female guests pull them as a lottery-style production! ♡ Unlike bouquet tossing, it can be done indoors in a small space, and the thrill of not knowing who will win until the end makes it popular! ♩

@yuih_wd

You can attach small charms known as [Bouquet Pull Charms] to the non-winning ribbons to please all participants! ♡

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 14* Broccoli Toss

Broccoli toss is a production where the groom throws broccoli to the male guests! ♡ Broccoli has the meaning of "prosperity of descendants", so there’s a wish for good health for the person who catches it! This is sure to be exciting when there are a lot of male guests!

Production I Want to Do in the Ceremony ♡ 16* Drop and Fly

Drop and Fly is a production that you must do if you have a venue with a pool! ♡ Using water-soluble ribbons tied to balloons, you drop the balloons into the pool. When the ribbons dissolve in the water, the balloons are released into the sky one by one, creating a fun and unique production! ♩
