How to make your ceremony fun and memorable

Wedding ceremony

Q – How can we make our ceremony fun and memorable?

"Your wedding ceremony is typically the first time you will be in front of all your family and friends, so it’s important that it feels like the most authentic representation of who you are as a couple. One way to do this is through your music choices. For example, if you’re into rock or rap, incorporating these genres into your service can show off some of the things that make you both special. There are many ways to incorporate fun elements into your big day, from dramatic entrances to games and activities for guests during the cocktail hour.

"You could do a sand, candle or bubble ceremony, have a fun reading or even incorporate an animal. Having your precious pooch bring the rings down to the best man or woman is an adorable addition to any wedding.

"One of the most popular options is called The Unity Candle. This involves two candles being lit at the beginning of the service and then put together as one. The flame represents your love for each other as well as your commitment to being together through thick and thin. This is also something that the whole family can be a part of."

While often seen as something reserved for high-profile couples, data suggests they remain largely overlooked in everyday relationships. Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.

Wales Perfumery has announced the launch of The Celts Collection

Wales Perfumery has announced the launch of The Celts, a collection of five artisanal fragrances inspired by the distinct Celtic tribes of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, and Brittany. The range represents three years of historical research and olfactory innovation by perfumer Louise Smith.
