Wedding Programs - Ribbon Inspirations

Was chatting with my friend, S, who is also getting married next year about wedding ideas.. Both S & his fiancee have already started to DIY their Holy Mat program sheet when their wedding is in May next year! Since I'm also a DIY bride.. must start to look for ideas & inspirations for my program sheet as well.. Can't really start on them yet as I have not decided on my wedding colours..

Things that are to be printed/included in the program sheet:

- Program lineup for Holy Mat (procession, praise & worship, prayers by pastor, reciting wedding vows, exchange of rings, solemnization, holy communion, lighting of unity candle, prayer blessings by pastor & recession)

- Lyrics of praise & worship songs

- Acknowledgments

Anyway here are a few using ribbons & multiple pages..

Each card explains each part of the ceremony, lyrics can be included inside too.. 

love the scallop edges and teal colour

Looks quite simple to make.. just that I need to get the design & theme that I want for my AD.. 

Some good wedding inspiration websites to share: 

- Martha Stewart Weddings

- TheKnot

Will try to look for more inspiration websites! Stay tuned :)

Holy Matrimony Briefing

The church arranged a briefing on the preparations and process of Holy Matrimony yesterday afternoon.. The 45 mins briefing was really an eye-opener for us.. Didn't realise that there's so much to prepare for the Holy Matrimony!

The church will be providing the basics consisting the worship team (singer & keyboardist), table & elements for Holy Communion, matrimony candles stand..

On our end the things that we need to prepare/do are:
- Print Holy Matrimony program sheet (including song lyrics inside)
- Memorise our wedding vows..
- Get the matrimony candles
- Rehearsal with all our helpers 1-2 weeks prior to AD
- Prepare prelude, procession & recession musics (I'm just gonna pick the songs from OH's song lists.. avoid all the copyright issue stuff)
- All other legal issues regarding to ROM.. (details can be found on the ROM website)

Since AH is in the music ministry, I've entrusted him with the task to ask one of his fella choir mates to be our worship singers.. Recently the worship singers are relatively new & I don't really like their style of singing.. I, on the other hand, will begin to source for some nice & meaningful worship songs..

Time to gear up for wedding preparations! been not doing anything since we came back from our PS..
