"Unconventional Wedding Ceremonies: 8 Amazing Ideas Found on Instagram!"

Introducing a Wonderful Ceremony Report Unique to a Civil Ceremony ♡

Unlike Christian or Shinto-style ceremonies, the charm of a "Civil Ceremony" is its free and relaxed atmosphere ♡

Because there are no strict rules like "You must do this!" or "That is not allowed!", it’s great that the couple can create their own original and unique performances ♩

However, since a civil ceremony can be too open-ended, some brides express concern about not knowing what everyone else is doing... or even feeling unsure about what to do themselves...＊

Then, let’s gather ideas from brides who have successfully held wonderful civil ceremonies ♡ Here are 8 wedding reports featuring unique and moving performances specific to civil ceremonies! Feel free to take inspiration from them＊

Civil Ceremony Report 1: Vows with a Dozen Roses ♡

Typically, after gathering 12 roses from guests for a Dozen Roses bouquet, the next step is to simply propose... However, this bride took her time receiving the roses from attendees, turning that moment into a time for her vows ♡

The groom declared, "With each of these 12 promises I received, I vow before all of you here to love you, ◯◯." as he handed the bouquet to the bride...

The bride then stated, "With this promise I received from ◯◯, I vow before everyone here to love you, ◯◯." as she pinned the boutonniere into the groom's pocket ♩

What a charming way to express vows through the Dozen Roses tradition! ♡

Civil Ceremony Report 2: A Group Chorus ♩

It’s common for a choir to sing hymns in Christian ceremonies... However, this bride had her guests sing "365 Days of Paper Airplanes" by AKB48, a song her grandmother loves, together ♩

She even made lyric sheets for guests who might not know the song well, showing her thoughtfulness ♡

Singing together like this surely made for an unforgettable wedding experience for the guests! ♩

Civil Ceremony Report 3: Ring Relay for Delivering the Rings ♡

A civil ceremony allows for a ring relay, where the wedding rings are passed along on a ribbon until they reach the couple ♡

Making it participatory for guests adds to the charm of the ring relay!＊

Civil Ceremony Report 4: A Dozen with Various Flowers ♡

The Dozen Roses doesn't have to be just about roses! ♡

This bride used natural flowers like baby's breath and lavender for her Dozen Ceremony, which might inspire brides who love a more natural and cute aesthetic to consider this idea ♡

Civil Ceremony Report 5: Writing Vows on Playing Cards ♡

This bride asked guests to write down on playing cards what kind of couple they hoped for the newlyweds to become and then created a board from it ♕

During the ceremony, she surprised everyone by having their mothers read the messages written on the cards! ♡

While it might be a bit embarrassing for the mothers, it’s certainly a heartwarming surprise that reminds them of their children's love ♩

Civil Ceremony Report 6: Farewell Kiss ♡

A closing kiss has become a popular feature in recent ceremonies, but staging a farewell kiss at the door is a lovely twist ♡

This setup makes it easier for guests to take photos, and it allows the photographer to capture a "kissing shot with guests included!" which is a neat detail ♩

Civil Ceremony Report 7: Asking Guests to Recite Vows ♡

This bride, feeling too shy to recite the vows they created together, came up with an idea to have a respected boss recite the vows instead ♡

The couple simply responded with "Yes, we vow!" to what their boss said. This way, they avoided the embarrassment while also giving their boss an important role, achieving two goals in one shot! ♩

Civil Ceremony Report 8: Swapping Escort Roles from Brother to Father ♡

Finally, let’s look at this wedding report ♡

When the bride entered the chapel, she was escorted by her brother. Just as she thought, "Oh no, Dad is crying, but that's okay," she noticed her father waiting partway down the aisle, where she was then handed over from her brother to her father! ♡

How wonderful to be escorted by her beloved father and brother! ♡
