Things to Know for your Wedding Rehearsal

How to run a wedding rehearsal

If you are running your own wedding rehearsal, and don't have a coordinator there to help you out, here are a few quick things to take note of so that the rehearsal proceeds smoothly, and your wedding party knows what they're doing:



1.  The Ushers/Groomsmen
The groomsmen often do double-duty as ushers, but if you have separate ushers, ask your groomsmen to stay with the groom and keep him calm prior to the ceremony.  Give the following list to your ushers/groomsmen prior to the rehearsal:

The MC: a reception "maker" or "breaker"

Wedding MC TipsYou've spent a great deal of time and money planning your reception meal, from appetizer to aperitif.  You've created a special signature cocktail and given it a cute name that's representative of you and your fiance.  Your DJ is widely reputed to be the best in town, and you've spent hours agonizing over the "must play" and "do not play" music lists.  You've even convinced your future husband (or wife) that spending time NOW on your thank you speech is important.

Welcome to Unmistakably You!

Hi, and thanks for checking in withUnmistakably You, where my philosophy is "your wedding, your way".  My goal as a wedding planner is to help engaged couples realize their visions for their special day, and to have truly unique weddings that speak to their interests and passions.  I have been to a lot of weddings in my life, and have seen the same invitations, decor, food, and flowers done over and over again.  There are many reasons for the "cookie-cutter wedding phenomenon", which I'll touch on below, but I truly believe that your wedding should be reflective of yours and your fiance's personalities.
