Wedding Wednesday: Update & Ceremony Ideas

Update: The Homestead at Cloudland Station

  

The rafters are going up on the Celebration Barn. They connect at the pinnacle of the roof with mortise and tendon connections and an oak peg. This is a wonderful detail you don't see on many barns.

We will keep you posted on the barn and we can't wait to host our first wedding. Who will be the first couple to celebrate in the barn? Contact us at homesteadcloudlandstaion@gmail.com  

 Wedding Wednesday: Ceremonies

 The ceremony is the most important part of a wedding day. Your wedding ceremony is something you will never forget, so take time make it special. Checkout these unique options for your ceremony. 

 Looking for something different than the traditional unity candle , how about sealing an anniversary box?

The couple placed a bottle of wine and letters to one another in the box and nailed it shut during the ceremony. In ten years the couple will open the box on their anniversary and toast to one another and read the letters. What a perfect time capsule of your wedding day. 

No need for ushers with this new trend.  A wedding is the joining of two families so why make your guests choose a side?

Another unique seating option for a ceremony is to seat your guests in a circle.

What a great feeling of being surrounded with love during your ceremony. With a circle seating arrangement, no one with have a bad seat.  Like the circle seating idea? How about the spiral seating plan which allows you to walk past every guest on your way to the alter.

Both seating arrangements would be perfect at our lake side ceremony site.

Looking to add a intimate touch to your ceremony, how about a ring warming?

Your rings are tied together and passed through the hands of everyone in attendance. As each guest receives the rings, they "warm" the rings with blessings and well wishes. This would be great addition to a smaller wedding.

Tradition says that the father gives the bride away but why not let both parents give the bride away?
