Christabel Celebrates: Setting the Scene: Your ceremony backdrop

The lovely Alice in Weddingland recently asked if I'd be happy to provide a quote for her blog post The Alternative Altar: Unique Wedding Venues. Was I happy? I was over the moon! I LOVE this blog. It's full of beautiful and inspiring things and jaw-dropping photography. You can read the post here

As someone who writes and performs wedding ceremonies this post was very close to my heart. I believe the ceremony is the heart of a wedding, the moment when a couple express their love for each other and make promises for the future.

In such an intimate setting why not dress the scene to match the theme of your special day. Use objects, materials, flowers or fauna that you love or mean something to you.

The alternative altars featured by Alice in Weddingland are beautiful examples to inspire your own backdrop creations. Streamers or bunting, floral arches with exotic flowers, shabby chic furniture or sumptuous drapes are just a few of the gorgeous ideas that will give your ceremony that wow! factor.

Here are a few more to get the creative juices flowing. Enjoy!
