From glamorous ceremony programs to styles that are more fitting for laid-back soirées, we've gathered some of our favorite ceremony programs to inspire your own wedding ceremony.
When it comes to planning the details of your wedding, you're likely looking forward to some of the larger elements: your gorgeous wedding dress, eye-catching invitations, romantic ceremony décor, and your reception centerpieces. While all of these items on your planning checklist are essential, it's important to pay attention to smaller details so they don't fall by the wayside. One seemingly small wedding detail that can be put on the backburner is your ceremony program.
While some sweethearts don't pay much attention to this aspect of the day as they feel guests may just leave them behind after the vow exchange, others feel that it's necessary to provide a beautiful schedule of the service to their loved ones. The ceremony is often considered most important part of the wedding as it's when you officially become a married couple, so why not wow your friends and family with a lovely program that doesn't look like it was printed on the morning of your nuptials. It may not be the wedding paper good that you're most looking forward to designing, but it serves an important role: providing your guests with a clear outline of your ceremony and honoring your family and those who you've chosen to stand next to you as you enter this new phase in your life.
