As your wedding is approaching, you need to start thinking about your wedding rehearsal. After all, this is your only chance to run through the ceremony and ensure that everyone knows what they are doing on the big day. Wedding rehearsals are an important and often overlooked, part of a wedding. If you are struggling to plan your wedding rehearsal, do not worry, we can help! Keep reading for tips on what happens at a wedding rehearsal, who should be there, and what the dress code is.
What Happens?
A wedding rehearsal is used to practice the wedding ceremony. During a wedding rehearsal, you will do a walkthrough of the ceremony from start to finish at the actual location of the wedding, Doing this enables everyone involved to see what they will be working with on the day of the wedding, including where to stand, when to walk, and what they are tasked with. You will practice everything from the processional and recessional to the readings and any other aspect of the ceremony.
Who Should Be There?
Anyone that is participating in the wedding should be at the wedding rehearsal so that they know what to do on the big day. The list of people invited to the wedding rehearsal should include:
- The wedding couple
- Parents of the couple
- The wedding party, including child attendants
- Anyone performing a reading
- Ushers
- The wedding officiant
- The musician or DJ
- Your wedding coordinator
By including all these people in the wedding rehearsal, you can ensure that the ceremony runs smoothly on the big day.
What Is The Dress Code?
The dress code for a wedding rehearsal is whatever you want it to be! The couple gets to establish the dress code, though you need to be sure that you make your wishes known prior to the rehearsal. If you are doing a dinner afterward, keep that location and vibe in mind when you set your dress code. If you are going to a fancy restaurant, you might want to set a more formal dress code. If you are having a picnic dinner at someone’s house, you can go with a more casual vibe.
