Top 3 Ways to Personalize Your Wedding Ceremony for your Eastern North Carolina Waterfront Wedding
Your wedding ceremony is the heart of your big day—a reflection of your love story and unique bond. Make it truly yours with these creative and personal touches:
1. Incorporate a Meaningful Tradition
Whether it’s a cultural custom, a family heirloom, or a special reading, weaving personal traditions into your ceremony creates an intimate moment that resonates with your history and values.
You can also honor family members who are no longer with us by having a memory table or incorporating personal items of theirs like the photo above. We love the way this couple honored family members who were there in spirit.
Another ceremony trend we love is live painting- have an artist create an interactive experience for your guests to watch the painting be created and it is a lifelong keepsake of your big day.
2. Write Your Own Vows
There’s nothing more personal than sharing words straight from the heart. Writing your own vows adds a unique, emotional element that allows you to express your love in a way only you can.
If you are nervous about receipting your own vows in front of your wedding party or you are dreaming of a more intimate exchange- we love when couples share their vows privately either before their ceremony during a first look or afterwards. It also makes for special photos of just the two of you.
3. Add Unique Decor or Backdrops
From personalized arches adorned with flowers that match your story to aisle runners featuring your favorite quotes, the decor can set the tone and showcase your style. At Copper Ridge on the Neuse, our gorgeous waterfront setting provides the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable ceremony.
