Wedding Ministers: New Trends in Weddings (Guest Post)
Recent trends I’ve noticed in weddings include: Keeping it simple, keeping costs down, and keeping more personal time for the couple. I am seeing more and more couples wanting to do simple, small wedding ceremonies with less fanfare and then having a special reception with special people at a later date.
One such couple is finishing up their education degrees in college. At their wedding they had just me, their minster, a photographer and witnesses for their wedding ceremony. They said they wanted it simple, with fewer hassles and less expense. That way they had more time with each other (They weren’t worn out from the events leading up to the wedding and enjoyed the time they had together more.) When they returned home, they and their families, had a reception for friends and family.
One couple got married on the beach of a resort, another in a park’s gardens, another in a gazebo, and another in a park’s reception hall. One couple got married in a hot air balloon and yet another on a pontoon boat. For some, Mom’s back yard works well, or the lodge meeting room. Many just have a few close friends and family present.
The trend I’ve been seeing is toward smaller weddings, in a place meaningful just for the couple, with less expense. Then investing time later for friends and family at a separate reception. It’s about having fun, enjoying each other, saving time, and less hassle, with a unique elegance. By staying small, the special nature of your location is only limited by your imagination.
