WHERE TO WED Tying the knot at home
The ceremony is the biggest moment of the wedding day. There are many important factors to consider when making plans for a home ceremony. Following are just a few examples:
Decide if the ceremony will be religious or civil.
Decide whether the ceremony should be held indoors or outdoors.
Make preliminary phone calls, or ask friends for suggestions of clergy members.
Establish yourself in a church or synagogue, and get to know its clergy members. They will offer suggestions based on past ceremonies that they have performed.
When selecting a theme, think about the colors and styles you like. Renting is a feasible option. Everything from tables and chairs to china and crystal can be rented.
Seek advice from wedding consultants, wedding coordinators and florists.
Carefully select attendants with your fiance. The size of the home may limit the number in the party, but there are plenty of other roles to fill such as ushers, guest registry hostess and cake servers.
