Siam Planner’s Complete Planning Insights
Traditional Elements of a Christian Wedding
Attire and Accessories: The bride typically wears a white dress, often with a veil and a flowing trail, and may adorn a tiara or flowers in her hair. The groom usually wears a black tuxedo or suit. The bride also holds a bouquet, which is traditionally tossed to unmarried guests.
Pre-Wedding Rituals: Christian weddings often include a bridal shower, a gathering for the bride with her female friends, and a bachelor's party for the groom. These events serve as enjoyable preludes to the wedding.
The Wedding Ceremony: The ceremony is held at a church, where the groom waits at the altar for the bride. They exchange vows and wedding rings in the presence of a priest, who solemnizes the marriage. The couple's agreement is often marked by a kiss, symbolizing the sealing of their union.
Wedding Mass: In Catholic ceremonies, a wedding mass is held, where hymns and prayers are recited, and the couple signs the marriage register, legalizing their union.
Reception and Celebrations
Reception Party: Post-wedding, a reception party is organized, featuring toasts to the couple, cutting of the wedding cake, and a festive atmosphere with good food and wine.
First Dance: The couple engages in their first dance, often to a song chosen well in advance, setting the stage for an evening of celebration and dancing.
