3 Things to Include in Your Wedding Ceremony at Lizton Lodge
Your wedding ceremony is the magical beginning of not just one of the best days of your life, but also the start of a beautiful journey with your spouse. It’s a timeless moment that will forever live in your heart, and years from now, when you look back on your photos, it will feel as if it all happened yesterday.
Whether you envision an intimate outdoor garden ceremony with 50 of your closest friends or a grand celebration in a country club venue with 200 guests, there are a few key elements that will help create an unforgettable ceremony. Here are three things you should definitely include in your wedding ceremony to make it a moment you and your guests will cherish forever!
1. Personalized Wedding Vows
When it comes to your wedding vows, authenticity is key. The most touching vows are those that come from the heart—those heartfelt promises that express your love and commitment in your own unique words. While the sincerity of your vows should shine through, don't be afraid to add a little humor to lighten the moment and share a laugh with your guests. After all, it's your special day, and it can be as luxurious or as relaxed as you’d like.
At Lizton Lodge, couples have the opportunity to say their vows in a way that feels right for them. While many couples choose to exchange vows in front of their guests as a public proclamation of their love, we also offer special, private settings for those looking for a more intimate experience. Some couples choose to exchange vows in our cozy library, while others prefer the serene and secluded woods behind the venue, where they can share a quiet, personal moment before beginning their new chapter together.
2. Incorporating Special People and Personal Touches
Our wedding ceremony is the perfect opportunity to bring special people into your celebration in meaningful ways. Instead of just having your closest friends and family in attendance, why not involve them in the ceremony itself?
If you have a talented friend or relative, consider asking them to contribute to the ceremony. A cousin who plays the piano could provide a beautiful musical backdrop as you walk down the aisle. Or, as one of our memorable couples did, have a family member, such as your grandfather, officiate your ceremony. This unique and heartfelt choice can make your wedding even more meaningful.
Personal items are another way to infuse your ceremony with sentimental value. Some brides have used heirlooms, like a cherished piece of crystal passed down through generations, during the unity ceremony. Another bride brought in a family tradition by using the same cake-cutting knife her grandmother had used at her wedding. These little details can make your ceremony feel even more personal and connected to your family’s history.
Of course, your beloved pets can also be part of your special day. One of our favorite moments at Lizton Lodge was when a couple included their corgi as their ring bearer. The dog was impeccably well-behaved and added a fun and personal touch to the ceremony. We’ve also seen brides walk down the aisle with their cat, draped in bouquet flowers around their collar. Your wedding should reflect you and your partner’s personalities, and these unique touches are a wonderful way to do that!
3. Choosing the Perfect Venue
When planning your wedding, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the venue. Do you want a modern, trendy space, or something more timeless and classic?
