Congratulations! A solstice wedding sounds wonderful. I don't really have any suggestions as to how to do it but just wanted to congratulate you.

Hi Firegem, and Congratulations! :)

My partner and I were going to have a solstice ceremony, we had to change our plans / dates to suit some family members (kind of regret that now) but it was still a lovely day. We had a barefoot ceremony in my parents garden, with a small gathering of close friends and family, and hung ribbons in the trees. (Dad later planted a rose bush to mark the occasion - called the Wedding Rose, and it's beautiful!!). My bouquet was a small bunch of flowers, grasses, herbs and wheat we picked in the morning during a relaxing walk to calm down before everyone started arriving lol (I still have it too). I made my own dress (it ended up being a top and skirt as a dress seemed a little much for my first attempt at dressmaking lol)... and one day we're going to have another ceremony... just because we can! :)

Personally I'm not really one for any of the big sacred sites (especially not on festival days/nights - as Pagonwolf said, most of them will be busy too) I'd much rather go for finding a place that is special for personal reasons, or a place that has that 'spark' feeling.

Any ideas for how / where you'd like to have your ceremony yet?
